Musa admitted that the country is passing through some challenges, but assured that it would overcome them and become better.
“Nigeria will surely be safe,” the CDS assured.
The CDS said he had visited the leadership of NSCIA to convey good tidings from the Armed Forces of Nigeria to the entire Muslim Ummahs and “to profoundly thank the Islamic leaders for their relentless prayers towards the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the nation in general.”
In his remark, the President-General of the NSCIA, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, said the NSCIA has always prayed for the military to succeed in its fight against insurgency and terrorism.
Represented by Barrister Haroun Eze, the Sultan consoled the CDS on the recent loss of some military personnel in a plane crash at Niger State.
He also called for a peaceful resolution to the political situation in Niger Republic.
