THE National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has warned that obstructing security under President Bola Tinubu’s administration will not be tolerated.
Ribadu made this statement at the Comptroller General of Customs (CGC) Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, emphasising the president’s determination to eliminate bandits, terrorists, and other security threats.
According to Ribadu, the government’s high-level strategies have led to the killing of hundreds of bandits daily, forcing many to flee to Chad.
“This prompted the Chadian president to declare 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, which is 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.”
The NSA urged Nigerians to be patient with the current challenges, as the government’s policies were designed to sanitise the system and improve the economy.
He noted that the Central Bank was being reformed and that the Naira would be stabilised.
Ribadu also commended the achievements of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and encouraged career officers to aspire to leadership positions, emphasising that opportunities for growth were now available to them.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the conference, which began on Tuesday, is scheduled to end on Friday.
