Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (rtd)

The minister of defence, Gen. Christopher Musa, says true and lasting national security must be anchored on defeating ignorance, conquering hopelessness, and defending democratic values.

A statement on Saturday by his special adviser on media, Leah Katung-Babatunde, said the minister said this while speaking on Friday at the June 12 Special Edition of The Platform Nigeria held in Lagos.

Musa said that meaningful economic gains could only be sustained when security was guaranteed.
