President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to ending terrorism and banditry, declaring that restoring peace remains at the heart of his national security agenda.

“This fight against terrorism is a challenge but addressing it remains one of the top priorities of this current administration under our national security agenda,” the president said during the commissioning of a housing project for victims of banditry in Kaduna State.

Though not physically present, Tinubu was represented at the event by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who delivered the president’s message of hope and reassurance.

“Nigeria is in safe hands, and we will restore law and order. That is an assurance we are giving. It will be done,” Ribadu said on behalf of the president.

The housing project, launched in partnership with the Qatar Charity Organisation, is a major component of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to rebuild communities shattered by violence.

Tinubu acknowledged the visible progress being made in Kaduna, saying the tide is turning. “Recovery is ongoing, and it is clear that fresh air is blowing through Kaduna State; things are changing,” he said.

He emphasized that true governance is measured by how the most vulnerable are treated. “We are wiping the tears of victims of extreme violence. We are reconciling communities. We are giving everyone a space to belong and a sense of inclusion,” the president stated.

Commending the Kaduna State Government, the Office of the National Security Adviser, and the military leadership, Tinubu praised their use of both force and dialogue to combat insecurity.

He also lauded the “Kaduna Peace Model,” describing it as a community-based strategy grounded in intelligence and long-term reconciliation. “Sustainable peace must be cultivated, not imposed,” he said.

The reopening of Birnin Gwari Market and the return of farmers to their land were highlighted as symbols of progress. “This is a public declaration that Kaduna is having a new face, a face of reality and rebuilding,” Tinubu added.

To the victims, he offered words of comfort and solidarity: “We heard you. You are victims of extreme violence, but we are with you. Your government sees you and acknowledges your pains.”
