President General GPMI, Dr Mike Uyi while expressing appreciation to the NA for the feat achieved in recent times against security threats and other criminalities said the NA under the current leadership of Lt. Gen. Yahaya Faruk has shown commitment and determination to end security challenges bedevilling the country.
