Prof. Usman Yusuf, Secretary of the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee, has urged Nigerians to play an active role in securing the country and getting those abducted by terrorists back home.
Yusuf made the appeal in an interview with newsmen on Thursday, shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari met with the released 23 Abuja-Kaduna train passengers at the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna.
The committee facilitated the release of the remaining train passengers on Thursday.
He added that securing the country was not just the responsibility of security agencies, but the collective efforts of all Nigerians.
“We should not only seat and begin to lament that the security is not doing anything.
