The National Spcurity Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, visited Benue State to commiserate with the Government and people following a renewed wave of violence that has claimed over 70 lives.
Speaking in Makurdi during a stakeholders’ meeting, Ribadu assured Governor Hyacinth Alia and the people of Benue that the federal government would not abandon them in this trying time.
The visit, directed by President Bola Tinubu, came in response to the “Black Friday” massacre in Katsina-Ala, Ukum, and Logo Local Government Areas.
The NSA emphasised that Benue remains a critical part of the country and pledged that the state would not be left to face the security crisis alone.
Ribadu noted that the current administration inherited a severely weakened security architecture, stressing that progress is already being made under President Tinubu’s leadership.
