That gives hope for everyone that as we go into the year, that there is ample opportunity to escalate the actions that brought the peace that we now enjoy and also to take it to another level where there would be no need for anyone to live in fear in any part of the country.” He further highlighted.

He maintained that care for the injured and maimed personnel will remain a cardinal focus under his watch.
