National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s resolve to strengthen internal security and bring perpetrators of violence to justice, both locally and internationally.
Represented at the maiden VON Forum by Zakari Mijinyawa, Director of Legal Services, Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), he revealed that over 1,000 illegal refineries have been dismantled by the NSCDC and that land border surveillance has improved to over 60%, with enhanced airport security through new electronic gates.
He commended the bravery of security agencies and volunteers, including the Civilian Joint Task Force, for liberating communities and rescuing victims.
Ribadu emphasised that the media must serve as a force for unity, not division. “Responsible journalism is a national duty,” he said, warning against the spread of fake news.
He called on the youth to lead now—not tomorrow—by using their platforms and talents to promote peace, vigilance, and national cohesion.
Ribadu concluded by praising the Voice of Nigeria and the Ministry of Information for convening the forum, urging greater collaboration with states and civil society to deepen national engagement on security matters.
