Ribadu noted that President Tinubu was actively monitoring and giving instructions during his recent work visit to Paris and London. According to Ribadu, the President emphasized the need to involve local councils and state governments more in tackling insecurity cases.
The NSA said, “The President directed that we work more with governors… The issue of insecurity often is not just at the higher levels. It involves the subunits. They are the ones who are directly with the people, especially when some of the challenges border on community problems.
We need to work with the communities. We need to work with the local governments, and we need to work with the governors.” President Tinubu was quoted as saying, “Enough is enough,” as he condemned the senseless killing of innocent Nigerians.
