National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu has announced that the 'sit-at-home' order enforced by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in South-East Nigeria is rapidly losing its effectiveness as security conditions in the region show marked improvements.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Summit in Abuja on Thursday, where the Federal Government presented its two-year scorecard, Ribadu highlighted significant progress made under President Bola Tinubu's administration across key security flashpoints in the country.
"The 'sit-at-home' orders are becoming more and more ineffective," Ribadu declared, adding that attacks on security personnel in the region have significantly reduced.
According to the NSA, key figures of IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), have either been captured or neutralized, substantially weakening the separatist campaign that has disrupted economic activities in the region for years.
Ribadu further disclosed that over 50 police stations and posts have been rebuilt across the South-East, facilitating the gradual return of normal social and economic activities in the region.
The APC National Summit was attended by prominent government officials including President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who gathered to review the administration's performance since taking office.
The improving security situation in the South-East represents a significant achievement for the Tinubu administration, which has prioritized addressing various security challenges across different regions of Nigeria.
