Buhari made the promise on Thursday in Gusau at the inauguration of his campaign. He said that his plan, if materialised, would boost the efforts of the security institutions to battle insurgency with renewed vigour.
Buahri said that the need to restructure the Army and Police became necessary because the enemies had become more and highly sophisticated in the use of weapons.
In Sokoto, an invigorated Buhari reaffirmed his commitment to provide security, improve education, wipe out corruption and stabilise the economy in order to improve standards of living if duly elected in as the president in the 14 February general election.
“Our Army and Police will be highly equipped with all the required weapons, educated and uneducated youths will be employed through different programmes that will be created by our administration.
“We will rebuild our educational system and employ youths not on sentiment and god-fatherism. We will as well find ways of restrengthening the country’s economy.”
He called on the youth to remain vigilant but maintain peace during and after the elections so as to ensure free, fair and credible elections in the country.
