Ribadu called on citizens to promptly report any suspicious movements to security agencies.

The NSA, in a New Year message signed by the national coordinator, National Counter Terrorism Centre, Office of the National Security Adviser (NCTC-ONSA) Major General Adamu Laka,  however, gave assurance that terrorism, violent extremism, and other serious organised crimes would be addressed collaboratively in 2025.

He reiterated that the security agencies remain steadfast in their resolve to protect the nation.

He said, “Security is everyone’s responsibility. The fight against terrorism and criminality cannot be won without the active participation of citizens. I therefore implore you to promptly report any suspicious activities, movements, or characters to the appropriate authorities. If you see something, say something.”

He further assured Nigerians of security agencies’ tenacious commitment to ensuring their safety and security.

“Looking to 2025, Ribadu reassures Nigerians of the renewed focus on combating terrorism, violent extremism and other serious organised crimes through enhanced collaboration, innovative strategies, and proactive measures.”

He revealed recent advancements, including the operationalisation of the Multi-Agency Anti-Kidnap Fusion Cell at the National Counter Terrorism Centre, developed with support from the United Kingdom National Crime Agency to address kidnapping and related crimes.

He stated that dedicated emergency numbers will be available to facilitate timely reporting and intervention.

The NSA  called on all security stakeholders and citizens to redouble their efforts in building a safer and more secure country.

He stressed that the dedication of the Armed Forces, security agencies, and the intelligence community, coupled with the active support of every Nigerian, will ensure that Nigeria overcomes the challenges ahead.

He recalled that Nigerians’ collective vigilance and cooperation were instrumental in the fight against terrorism, violent extremism, and other security threats in 2024.

“The successes recorded in our efforts to enhance national security are rooted deeply in Nigerians’ cooperation and the dedication of members of the Armed Forces, security agencies, and the intelligence community.

“The National Security Adviser extends special appreciation to the gallant men and women of the Armed Forces, police, and other security and intelligence agencies.

“Your sacrifices in the front lines, despite the harshest conditions, demonstrate staunch patriotism, courage, and dedication to safeguarding the Nation’s sovereignty and security,” he stated.

Ribadu equally saluted their families, who bear the weight of their absence with steadfast support and love.

“The year 2024 brought its share of security challenges, including the resurgence of the Lakurawa Terrorist Group in the Northwest and acts of sabotage on critical national infrastructure, such as power transmission lines, by non-state actors.

“Despite these challenges, it is gratifying to note the tireless efforts of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and security agencies in containing these threats and preventing further occurrences. These achievements would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the National Assembly, the judiciary, and state governors, whose commitment to strengthening our policy and legal frameworks across all levels of government has been critical in advancing our national security objectives.”
