A group under the aegis of Northern Youths Progressive Network has expressed satisfaction with the strategies being adopted by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, in fighting insecurity in the country.
The group said the strategies had helped in checking activities of insurgents, bandits and other criminal elements across the country.
The leader of the group, Bala Mohammed, said in an interaction with journalists in Lafia, Nasarawa State, that Ribadu’s strategies involved a comprehensive synergy of all the nation’s security apparatus, comprising all the security agencies as well as hunters and indigenous non-formal security vanguards.
He said the synergy among state actors coordinated by the office of the NSA had yielded notable successes in tackling security challenges, particularly in the North, South South and South East which are hotbeds of insurgency, banditry, herders/farmers clashes, crude oil theft and separatist agitation.
He said: “Under his leadership, several high-profile bandit and terrorist leaders have been neutralised, including Halilu Sububu, Buhari Alhaji Halidu, Dangote, Boderi Isyaku, Kachalla Dan Chaki Dogo Gudali, Damina, Baleri, Modi-Modi, and Husseini Usman.
“Furthermore, his tenure has seen the successful rescue of high-profile kidnap victims, such as the 20 medical students of the University of Maiduguri.
“He is presently tackling the deep-seated corruption in Nigeria’s financial sector, specifically focusing on the Central Bank of Nigeria, which was previously led by the former governor, Godwin Emefiele.
These efforts aim to restore transparency and integrity to the nation’s financial system.”
