He emphasized that President Tinubu’s administration bore the significant responsibility of ensuring the security and peace of Nigeria.

However, the critical question is whether Ribadu has fulfilled his promises during his first 100 days in office.

Since assuming office, the military has made significant strides in addressing security challenges in Nigeria. They have neutralized 817 terrorists, apprehended 1,326 criminals, and rescued 721 hostages in various operations across the country. Those apprehended include kidnappers, terrorists’ collaborators, armed robbers, cattle rustlers, militias, rail vandals, gunrunners, and suspected oil thieves. Additionally, 4,560 terrorists and their families surrendered to troops in the Northeast during this period.

The troops also recovered a substantial number of weapons, livestock, ammunition, and equipment during these operations. Similar successes were reported in different regions of the country, including the North Central, North West, South-South, and South East.

Various stakeholders, including the Coalition for Peace and former Senator Shehu Sani, have commended President Tinubu and Ribadu for their efforts in improving security across the nation. They attribute the improved security situation to the inter-agency collaboration initiated by both leaders.

Malam Adamu Haruna, the President of the Coalition for Peace, praised the government’s swift response to distress calls and its ability to act on intelligence reports. He noted that this had instilled confidence in farmers and residents who had previously faced insecurity.

Ribadu’s emphasis on curbing crude oil theft and losses to the country has also seen positive developments. Efforts by security officials and oil operators have led to increased crude oil earnings for Nigeria.

In conclusion, Nuhu Ribadu, as Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, has made significant strides in addressing security challenges and curbing crude oil theft during his first 100 days in office. While challenges remain, the administration’s efforts in collaboration with various security agencies have yielded positive results in improving the security situation across the country.
