The Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dingyadi, has lauded the commitment of Nigerians to sacrifices, as Muslims in Nigeria join their counterparts across the world to mark the 2020 Eid-el-Kabir.
The Press Secretary to the Minister, Osaigbovo Ehisienmen, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
The Minister felicitated Nigerians on the occasion of the Muslim festival.
He said the commitment of Nigerians to sacrifices would continue to advance individual and collective aspirations for the progress and development of the country.
Dingyadi called for greater understanding, love, and tolerance to promote harmonious relationships among the various tribes and ethnic groups in Nigeria.
Dingyadi condemned the senseless and highly regrettable killings in Southern Kaduna and Koton-Karfe in Kogi, perpetrated by enemies of the collective peace and development in the country.
He pledged the commitment of the Federal Government to strengthen the internal security architecture of the country.
The Minister said that the idea was to neutralise all forms of security threats and deal decisively with persons responsible.
He assured that the police were working with other security agencies to ensure justice for the victims of the attack in Kogi and Kaduna states.
He saluted the resilience of Nigeria health workers, security agencies, and the media for their role in tackling Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
Dingyadi further called for the continued adherence to lay down preventive protocols, and urged Nigerians to pray for quick recovery of those affected by the pandemic.
