The president noted that though good progress had been made in eliminating some security challenges in many operational theatres, success could only be defined by the total ending of the multi-dimensional security challenges.

He said the failure of the military to wrap up progressives' onslaught against the insecurity in the country would undermine the $1 trillion economy targeted by his administration in a few years.
