The National Security Council (NSC) has expressed satisfaction with the overall level of security in the country, stating that the presidential and National Assembly elections will take place as planned in a secure environment.

The Council’s decision has finally put to rest fears and insinuations that the Federal Government might order a change in election dates.

There had been concerns, particularly among some political office holders, about the various unpleasant developments, including the recent intermittent violence and chaos in various parts of the country in response to the pressure mounted by the cash scarcity crisis.
