Niger Delta youth leaders hail NSA over security, oil sector growth

The Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Forum has praised National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu for his leadership in boosting national security and driving improvements in oil production.
The spokesperson for the group, Legborsi Yamaabana, said this in a statement on Monday. Mr Yamaabana said that the group commended the proactive steps taken by the NSA’s office, which led to a significant decline in terrorism, banditry, and oil theft nationwide.
According to him, these security gains have fostered a more stable environment, resulting in a surge in Nigeria’s crude oil output, renewed investors’ confidence, and enhanced national revenue.
He also lauded President Bola Tinubu for appointing a visionary leader, describing Ribadu as “a round peg in a round hole”, a man known for his integrity, competence, and dedication to service.
Mr Yamaabana also highlighted Ribadu’s tenure as the pioneer EFCC chairman, noting that he remained the only former boss of the agency without a record of corruption, but was known for his integrity and accountability.
