Tinubu gave this assurance on Tuesday through the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, during the commissioning of new housing units in Kaduna State.
The housing project, developed in partnership with the Qatar Charity Organisation, aims to rebuild and rehabilitate communities affected 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,” the President declared.
He said notable progress had been made in restoring peace in Kaduna State, describing the prevailing atmosphere as one of renewed hope and growing stability.
“Recovery is ongoing, and it is clear that fresh air is blowing through Kaduna State. Things are changing,” he noted.
Tinubu stressed that governance must prioritise the needs of citizens, especially those displaced or harmed by violence and insecurity.
“We are wiping the tears of victims of extreme violence. We are reconciling communities and creating a sense of inclusion for all,” he said.
He commended the Kaduna State Government, the NSA’s office, and the Chief of Defence Staff for their combined use of kinetic and non-kinetic strategies.
Tinubu also praised the ‘Kaduna Peace Model’ as a homegrown, community-based, and intelligence-led approach to resolving security challenges sustainably.
He highlighted the reopening of Birnin Gwari Market and the return of displaced farmers to their lands as visible signs of progress.
“This is a public declaration that Kaduna State is having a new face — a face of reality and rebuilding,” Tinubu added.
Speaking to the victims, he said: “We heard you. You are victims of extreme violence, but we are with you. Your pain is recognised.”
Tinubu expressed gratitude to Qatar Charity for its support and reaffirmed the government’s resolve to deliver sustainable, life-changing interventions.
“This fight against terrorism is a challenge, but addressing it is a top priority under our national security agenda,” he said. (NAN)
