NSA Nuhu Ribadu Has Achieved What Others Couldn’t – Shehu Sani

Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has lauded the National Security Advisor (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, for accomplishing feats in security that his predecessors failed to achieve.

Sani, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted Ribadu’s efforts in neutralizing top bandit leaders, ending mass abductions of students in northern Nigeria, and securing rail lines and highways notorious for kidnappings.

He wrote:
“Nuhu Ribadu has achieved what many of his predecessors failed to accomplish despite the hundreds of billions spent in the name of defense and security in the past: neutralization of top bandit leaders, end to mass abductions of students in northern schools, securing rail lines, and major northern highways hitherto notorious for kidnappings.”

The former lawmaker also commended Ribadu for the prompt response to terrorist attacks on power infrastructure, emphasizing that his achievements are unmatched.

“Security challenges are not over, but in all indices of comparison, he has performed better and set unprecedented records.

His political critics are fully entitled to their views, but his delivery on his mandate is unparalleled,” Sani added.

Sani’s statement underscores growing public and political acknowledgment of Ribadu’s role in addressing Nigeria’s longstanding security issues under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
