National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has issued a stern warning that any attempts to obstruct security efforts under President Bola Tinubu’s administration will not be tolerated, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Speaking at the Comptroller General of Customs Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Ribadu reiterated the President’s commitment to eliminating bandits, terrorists, and other security threats.
He highlighted that the government’s strategic measures have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of bandits daily, forcing many to flee to Chad. This, he noted, led to the Chadian president declaring war on them.
We will secure this country, we will fix it, we are not jokers,” he said.
Ribadu assured that the government was working tirelessly to achieve a secure environment, crucial for the country’s development.
He cited the improved security situation in the Niger Delta region and the significant increase in crude oil production, which had reached 1.8 million barrels per day.
“Many parts of our country today are living in peace. Go to the Niger Delta, things have changed,” he added.
The NSA urged Nigerians to be patient in the face of the current challenges, as the government’s policies were designed to sanitize the system and improve the economy.
He noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria was being reformed, adding that Naira would be stabilized.
Ribadu also commended the achievements of the Nigeria Customs Service and encouraged career officers to aspire to leadership positions, stressing that growth opportunities were now available to them.
The NAN reports that the conference, which began on Tuesday, is scheduled to end on Friday.
