YARI HIGHLIGHTS TINUBU’S SECURITY EFFORTS, LINKS NIGER DELTA PEACE TO INCREASED OIL PRODUCTION
Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari has highlighted the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration in tackling insecurity, protecting lives and securing critical national assets, particularly in Nigeria’s oil-producing communities. He reaffirmed that addressing insecurity would remain a major priority of the administration over the next four years, with renewed commitment to strengthening national security and ensuring safer communities across the country.
Speaking at the Edo Presidential Campaign Rally, Yari, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, said the government’s efforts in addressing insecurity must be assessed alongside the practical measures and resources being deployed to protect lives, communities and critical infrastructure. He stressed that the administration was determined to consolidate the progress already recorded while intensifying efforts to tackle existing security challenges.
Focusing on the Niger Delta, Yari noted that sustained engagement with host communities and investments in security had contributed to improved stability and uninterrupted oil operations. He disclosed that significant resources were being committed to protecting oil infrastructure and securing communities without resorting to the use of force, describing the approach as instrumental to sustaining economic activities in the region.
He further disclosed that Nigeria’s crude oil production, which stood at approximately 1.2 to 1.3 million barrels per day when President Tinubu assumed office, had risen to about 1.8 million barrels per day. He attributed the improvement partly to the relatively peaceful operating environment in the southern oil-producing region, stressing that sustaining peace and security remains vital to national economic growth.
