Tinubu Promises to Track Down All Wrongdoers and Make Nigeria Safe for Everyone
President Bola Tinubu has promised that Nigerians who engage in harmful activities will face severe legal consequences.
He stressed that his administration would not tolerate misconduct or threats to the nation’s peace, whether these offenders are within the country or operating from abroad.
Speaking through the National Security Advisor (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, during the graduation ceremony of the Executive Intelligence Management Course 17 at the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS) in Abuja, Tinubu made it clear that justice will catch up with anyone endangering Nigeria’s security.
“If you are causing harm to Nigeria, no matter where you are, we will find you.
You will be held accountable for your actions,” Ribadu stated, reiterating the President’s unwavering resolve to maintain law and order.
The ceremony, which marked a significant milestone for senior security officials completing their advanced training, also saw remarks from the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Adeọla Ajayi.
Ajayi stated the importance of cooperation among Nigeria’s various security agencies in tackling the country’s challenges.
He emphasized, “Collaboration is key. We are witnessing an unprecedented level of synergy between the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and the NSA, which is driving a more unified front against insecurity.
When we work as one, no threat can defeat us.”
Ajayi expressed optimism about the nation’s future security, assuring citizens that progress is underway.
“Soon, Nigerians will sleep peacefully, without fear.
This is the direction set by the President, and we’re fully committed to delivering on this promise.”
He also conveyed gratitude for his appointment, pledging loyalty and dedication.
“I thank President Tinubu for the trust placed in me. I am committed to upholding this responsibility and ensuring our collective safety.”
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
