In a recent interview on TVC, Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President, highlighted substantial progress in national security under the leadership of Bola Tinubu.
Ngelale emphasized that the high casualty rates that once dominated headlines across the nation have significantly decreased, leading to a shift in public discourse towards economic and political developments.
Ngelale stated, “The progress made in the national security situation has shifted the focus of conversations in the country. Before, headlines were filled with casualties from various regions, but today, the situation has evolved, and security is no longer the primary talking point.”
He acknowledged ongoing combat in certain areas but emphasized the government’s commitment to concluding inherited challenges rather than being on the defensive against widespread threats. Ngelale also pointed out visible improvements in the security situation in the south-east, highlighting a positive shift in the narrative in Igbo land.
“We have come a long way. We are not asking Nigerians to applaud us, but we want to emphasize that substantial progress has been made. This progress is crucial for creating an environment where our people can live and do business in peace,” Ngelale added. He underscored the importance of a secure nation as the foundation for attracting the foreign investments the government is actively pursuing.
