National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has stated that the administration of President Bola Tinubu inherited an extremely poor security situation but is working relentlessly to restore peace across the country.

Speaking during a security meeting with stakeholders at the Benue State Government House in Makurdi, Ribadu commiserated with the people over the spate of killings and renewed attacks, assuring them that the Federal Government is committed to overcoming the crisis.

“We will defeat it. The entire country is with you,” Ribadu told the gathering. “I commiserate with the people of Benue and assure you that this is a trying period for all of us, but we are 100 percent with you.”

Ribadu emphasized the strategic importance of Benue State in the nation’s security architecture, adding that efforts would be intensified to ensure lasting peace in the region.

“Benue is an extremely important state to Nigeria. We must fight and maintain Benue as a peaceful state. The Governor is doing well and we will support him,” he said.

The NSA acknowledged the efforts of Nigeria’s armed forces, stressing that while it is not feasible to deploy soldiers or police to every community, progress is being made.

“Our armed forces are doing well. It’s impossible to post security to every hamlet. What we need is support and for people to stop politicizing the killings. That will help us restore peace.”

Ribadu pointed to the current administration’s efforts in tackling insecurity and highlighted that the security situation has already seen significant improvement compared to what was inherited.

“We inherited an extremely bad government. Things have improved. We’re addressing the issues. To do harm is easy, but to fix things takes time. We have considerably reduced the level of violence we met. This, too, we will confront.”

The NSA’s visit comes amid renewed concerns over insecurity in Benue State and other parts of the country, with calls for urgent and effective intervention to halt further violence.

And yet they dare accuse Russia of invading Ukraine.

SmartPolician:
Leadership is complicated. You can never say the people love a leader if you don't live in that country. Someone in America can argue that Nigerians love Tinubu, especially when they read comments from agbadorians who spend 24/7 online defending him and his thoughtless policies.

Traore should've responded to the concerns the Americans raised if he was truly running a transparent government and not stealing from his people. Perhaps Traore could be stealing 5% of their resources as against 50% probably demanded by the French government.

One may argue that it's better, but it doesn't mean that Traore is any better. If you accuse me of being a thief, the onus is on you to prove that you are better than me by running a transparent govt.

Is USA assigned to police Africa? Trump is essentially taking America back to 18th century but who's policing them?

Are trump and his people not stealing from USA? Are you okay at all? Why have they not invaded Aso villa that is pretending not to see bloodshed in Nigeria? Is trump not seeing all the looting happening in Nigeria? Why have they not invaded Sambisa forest? Why have they not arrested past and present leaders watching Nigeria sink into bloodshed and launched attack on terrorists territory in Nigeria?
Are you a tool for the west embedded into nigeria's social Media to sympathize with the west? Africans like you are tools the west use to tear the continent from within.

What happened in Libya several years ago is about to happen again in Burkina Faso

When a madman tells you to prove you're a man by showing him your p3nis, you don't stoop to his level.

The same Americans invaded iraq because of wmds. What iraq was supposed to show them it wasn't true, and then they wouldn't have invaded.

The American military machine lies for profit. Period. And when they say the truth, it's spun for profit too.

What is the detailed evidence for what detailed accusation. We all went to school. We have AI to summarize the one we're too stupid to understand. Let them explain to us before they start another WMD with hunt for profit.

You heard massive reserves of gold and you don't already know the greedy american military machine has an angle

There is no evidence to suggest that Traore is performing well in his country. There is still insecurity and no political system that supports people's freedom to speak up.


I don't support Western interest in Africa, but African political elites are not transparent. How many power plants are under construction in B Faso, is B Faso building railways, water systems, and hospitals in abundance?

DataDoc:
If USA invades Burkina Faso, how many percent will they steal?

Iraqis will answer your question

I don't know why the whites don't want to see Africa grow

In due time, they would label him a "terrorist", "a man against human right", a "dictator". They would try to turn his people against him. They would send troops to put him down because he doesn't bend to their will, because he puts Burkinabé before anybody else. Just like the case of
Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and the African countries along with the organization A.U. would turn a blind eye because of the grants they keep receiving from the U.S.

You can't defeat terrorists troublin̈g Burkina Faso but you want to destroy the leader who is changing their life positively. What are you?

You are the one who is thoughtless not Tinubu's policies

It is long overdue. Burkina Faso should conduct a democratic election immediately.

For those screaming what concerns US, if not for the US, the Arab world would have eliminated all of you. Know this and know Peace. Yet you all are dying in front of American Embassy at Walter Carrington just begging God to get a Visa to same America you always insult online? I would have insulted all of una papa, but Seun's BOT will ban me again.

Nigeria needs the US army more than Burkina Faso

add Tafawa Balewa and co

Who the fvck is Tafawa Balewa? Or you mean Tafewa Bellef00l?

every single terrorist groups and upheaval in Africa is sponsored by the west.
until the day African unite against the neo-colonialists ,we shall never reach our potentials.

Burkina faso is inconsequential to US interests. It's a poor, very poor country and the US has nothing to gain from intrusion into Burkina affairs.

But fact is Traore will eventually be removed via coup-de-tat if he doesn't democratize quickly. Another Burkina officer will topple him,its same way he came to power

Ibrahim Traore committed treason when he carried out a coup in Burkina Faso. He will eventually be removed by force too.

All of this is just a clear hunger for the resources of Burkina Faso...let's not forget what the US did to Libya

Traore should respond to the concerns America raised because?

What is America's concern with Burkina Faso? If they do not like his government, they have the right to recall their ambassadors (if any) and bring home their citizens.

When will we be free from mental slavery

Africans, especially Nigerians, aren't victims of bad leadership, they are accomplices!

My comment is a call for transparency, not about whose business it is or not.

It looks like America wants to steal their natural resources for national security purposes. lol American think say na Gadafi era them Dey lol. Us always like to use threat and force and it shows that the country is falling apart at a greater pace.

Why US & France so concerned about how Burkinabes run their country? We're yet to hear of where Traore has unalived somebody.. Same way they tagged Libya & k*lled Gaddafi

This not only a Trump problem. it’s an American problem. They like to loot.
