Just few hours after President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, December 15, commissioned three war ships and 27 patrol boats at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos. One of the war ships commissioned was said to have been imported while the two others were built locally.
However this has generated so much heated argument on all social media platforms, considering the present economic hardship in the country. Majority were of the opinion that PMB has been given too much attention to security, yet the economic is fast declining.
Few were spotted aligning their thought with the President, we just have to admit the world at large is facing hell of security challenges and Nigeria is not exempted, we need to biff-up our security system especially on the water way to curb the act of criminality been perpetrated through the water ways, considering the recent attacks in Lagos through the water way.
However, some notable highlights of the event was the absent of the national leader of the All Progressives Congresss Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was absent at the commissioning ceremony despite his house being a stone-throw away from the venue of the event.
It was gathered that the president who touched down at the presidential wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Thursday noon was received by the state Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and was accompanied on the visit by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, other ministers, army chiefs as well as the police.
