Northern youths, under the banner of Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership (AYAGL) has written to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, commending his administration for what it described as a resolute commitment to strengthening national security across Nigeria.

The youth organization particularly commended the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for what it described as his pivotal role in coordinating national security strategy and enhancing intelligence-driven operations. According to the letter, Ribadu’s proactive approach to harmonizing security efforts, strengthening counterterrorism frameworks, and fostering synergy among armed and intelligence services has significantly contributed to ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other criminal activities threatening national stability.

The Assembly also acknowledged what it termed the commendable leadership of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Abubakar Audi.

The Assembly therefore commended the Tinubu administration for prioritizing reforms that promote professionalism, accountability, and collaboration within security institutions.
