Ribadu’s NSA Appointment: A Game-Changer in Nigeria’s Fight Against Terror
President Tinubu’s decision to name Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser three years ago introduced a fresh, intelligence-led approach to our security challenges. Under Ribadu’s leadership, joint operations in the Northeast, Northwest and Niger Delta have yielded major successes. Notable wins include the neutralisation of ISIS’s second-in-command in the Lake Chad Basin, the takedown of key bandit leaders in Zamfara and Katsina, and a dramatic drop in crude oil theft. A cornerstone of this turnaround has been stronger collaboration across the Armed Forces, Police, intelligence agencies and international partners. Shared intelligence platforms and financial investigations have cut off funding streams that once sustained terror and criminal networks. While these gains are significant, sustained cooperation and vigilance remain essential. Continued focus on intelligence fusion, regional partnerships and community engagement will be key to securing peace across every zone of the country.
