Civil Society Groups Praise Tinubu's Security Efforts

A coalition of civil society groups, led by the Civil Society for Peace, Security and Development (CSPSD), commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the nation's security chiefs for their efforts in addressing insecurity in Nigeria. This commendation occurred on Wednesday in Abuja during a solidarity rally marking Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary.

Dr Kabiru Muhammed, the National Coordinator of CSPSD, noted that the coordination and operational commitment of the Armed Forces, Nigeria Police Force, and intelligence agencies have intensified pressure on criminal networks. The coalition acknowledged the security agencies' focus on intelligence-led and technology-driven operations, emphasizing inter-agency coordination.

They praised the leadership of security chiefs, including Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Olufemi Oluyede and Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu, for their operational responses to emerging threats. The coalition also recognized the government's investments in infrastructure and economic reforms, despite acknowledging the hardships these changes have caused for citizens.
