Tinubu and Ribadu lauded for anti-terror efforts in Nigeria

The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations, represented by the Middle-Belt Pan-Nigerian Forum, praised President Bola Tinubu, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, and Nigeria’s security agencies for their decisive actions against terrorism. This commendation came after the United States Department of State’s Bureau of African Affairs acknowledged Nigeria's strong response to recent attacks by Fulani militant groups in the Middle Belt, particularly in Barkin Ladi, Plateau State.

The Forum's Convener, Dr Danladi Dangana, stated that the U.S. recognition indicates that the Tinubu administration's efforts are yielding results, although the fight against terrorism is ongoing. The Forum urged support for government and security agencies to restore peace and security nationwide and emphasized that the U.S. commendation should not be seen as a sign of victory in the war against terrorism.

The Coalition also commended Ribadu for enhancing cooperation among security agencies and maintaining diplomatic relations with the U.S., asserting that they would continue to collaborate with the Office of the National Security Adviser until terrorism is defeated.
