National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu says that despite growing concerns over insecurity , Nigeria has made significant progress since May 2023.

Ribadu presented the scorecard
during the APC national summit in Abuja on Thursday.

Ribadu described what he called a turnaround from a period when Nigeria faced five major threats: Boko Haram, banditry, separatist violence, oil theft, and communal clashes.He said Kaduna alone recorded over 1,100 deaths and 3,000 kidnappings in 2021. In the South East, separatist attacks destroyed more than 160 police stations.

Ribadu said the picture has changed since May 2023 Under the Renewed Hope Agenda with  hostages rescued, criminal networks dismantled, and oil production restored.

He waned that cybercrime and regional instability still pose risks, and called for sustained collaboration to build on the gains

Ribadu explained that before 2023 over 35,000 and 12,000 persons were claimed by Boko Haram and banditry crises, respectively, while millions of people were rendered homeless in the affected areas.

The NSA said with the security agencies working as a team, challenges such as the sit-at-home in the South-East and sabotage of oil installations in the Niger Delta have been substantially addressed.

Ribadu said over 13,543 Boko Haram elements were neutralised in the past two years, while over 11,000 arms were recovered and destroyed from the terrorists.
