President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to restoring peace, law, and order across Nigeria, particularly in communities devastated by insecurity and violence.
Delivering the President’s message on Tuesday during the commissioning of new housing units in Kaduna State, National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, said the initiative reflects a broader national effort to support recovery and reconciliation.
The housing project—a collaboration between the Federal Government and Qatar Charity Organisation—is aimed at rebuilding and rehabilitating communities impacted by banditry and violent attacks.
“Nigeria is in safe hands, and we will restore law and order. That is an assurance we are giving. It will be done,” Tinubu declared.
The President noted that significant progress has already been made in Kaduna, citing a renewed sense of hope and improving security conditions.
“Recovery is ongoing, and it is clear that fresh air is blowing through Kaduna State. Things are changing,” he said.
Tinubu stressed that governance must focus on citizens’ well-being, particularly those displaced or harmed by violence. He praised the government’s efforts to wipe the tears of victims, reconcile fractured communities, and foster inclusion and unity.
He also commended the Kaduna Peace Model, describing it as a homegrown, intelligence-driven solution to insecurity, combining both kinetic (military) and non-kinetic (community-based) strategies.
Citing the reopening of Birnin Gwari Market and the return of farmers to their lands, Tinubu said these are concrete indicators of ongoing recovery.
“This is a public declaration that Kaduna State is having a new face — a face of reality and rebuilding,” he added.
Addressing victims directly, he said:
“We heard you. You are victims of extreme violence, but we are with you. Your pain is recognised.”
The President expressed appreciation to Qatar Charity for its contribution and reaffirmed that tackling terrorism and insecurity remains a top priority under his national security agenda.
“This fight against terrorism is a challenge, but addressing it is a top priority,” he said.
