As President Bola Tinubu’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu has made it clear that anyone trying to mess up security efforts will not be allowed. At the Comptroller General of Customs Conference in Abuja, Ribadu emphasized that the President was determined to get rid of thieves, terrorists, and other security dangers that the country was facing. His comments show that the government is still working hard to deal with the problems of instability and bring peace back to Nigeria.
Ribadu stressed that the government’s high-level security plans have been very successful in making criminals, especially robbers, much less dangerous. He said that hundreds of bandits are being killed every day because of increased military actions. Many of these criminals are having to run across borders, especially into Chad. This large-scale movement of thieves has had such a big effect that the President of Chad has declared war on them to help stop the spread of crime in the area. Ribadu’s speech sent a strong message that nearby countries should work together to fight cross-border crime and insurgency.
The NSA said that the government was still committed to keeping the country safe and that they were sure that the current security problems would be solved in the long run. He said, “We will secure this country, we will fix it, we are not jokers,” which showed that the government was serious about dealing with security issues. People think it’s important for the government to take action against these dangers, both for the safety of the country and for its continued growth, since security issues have been a big problem for the country’s progress.
Ribadu also said that the success of the government was shown by better security in some parts of Nigeria. For example, the Niger Delta area has had a lot of trouble with terrorism and unrest for a long time, but there has been a lot of peace and security in the last few months. This good change is directly related to the government’s stronger efforts to fight insurgents and crime gangs in the area. This has led to a big rise in crude oil production in the area, which now stands at 1.8 million barrels per day. This rise in oil production is not only a sign of better safety, but it is also a key part of boosting Nigeria’s budget, since oil exports bring in most of the country’s money.
Even though these are good signs, Ribadu told Nigerians to be patient because the country is still having problems. He admitted that while security has gotten better in some places, a lot more needs to be done in others. He did, however, tell the people that the government’s larger policy framework is meant to clean up the system, bring back order, and help the economy recover. He especially talked about the changes that are being made to the Central Bank of Nigeria to make the country’s currency more stable and its financial systems better. It is hoped that these steps to improve the economy and the security will help the country stay stable in the long run.
Ribadu talked a lot about security, but he also took time to praise the Nigeria Customs Service for its work in promoting national security and economic growth. He told officers in the service to work hard to become leaders and make the most of the chances that were now open to them because of current changes in the government. His comments are part of a larger effort to make Nigeria’s institutions stronger and make sure that all government offices are working well and efficiently.
Going forward, the meeting will likely keep talking about how to deal with the country’s security issues and how important organizations like the Customs Service can greatly assist the government. In the end, Ribadu’s comments make it clear that the Tinubu administration is fully committed to facing Nigeria’s security problems with determination and a long-term view of peace and wealth.
