Mrs Buhari also urged military and police chiefs’ wives to support their spouses to accomplish their duties to the nation. She noted that rendering such support would help to boost their husbands’ morale and strengthened their commitment to the fight against crime in Nigeria.
The first lady also appealed to relevant authorities to ensure massive recruitment of security personnel to boost the manpower of the security forces in the country.
