Niger Delta Forum Welcomes Improved Security In Oil Sector

The Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Forum (NDEYLF) has applauded Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser (NSA), for his efforts at strengthening Nigeria’s security landscape and catalysing improvements in oil production.

Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, NDEYLF’s spokesman, Engr. Legborsi Yamaabana also commended the proactive steps taken by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), which have led to a significant decline in terrorism, banditry, and oil theft nationwide.

Yamaabana stated that these security gains have fostered a more stable environment, resulting in a surge in Nigeria’s crude oil output, renewed investor confidence, and enhanced national revenue.

Describing Ribadu as “a round peg in a round hole,” the youth leader lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his vision in appointing a man known for his integrity, competence, and dedication to service.

“Since assuming office, Malam Nuhu Ribadu has injected renewed vigour, strategic foresight, and coordination into Nigeria’s security apparatus. His results speak volumes in improving security metrics across the country,” Yamaabana said.

He stated that the NSA remains the only former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), without any record of corruption, describing it as an enduring testament to his principles and accountability.

The NDEYLF spokesman said: “His time at the EFCC marked a turning point in Nigeria’s anti-corruption crusade. Ribadu continues to be a beacon of transparency and patriotism. His effectiveness as NSA only reaffirms his reputation as a national asset.

“The youth of the Niger Delta stand firmly behind Malam Nuhu Ribadu. We are proud of his achievements and assure him of our full cooperation in securing the homeland and advancing Nigeria’s future.”
