Speaking at the ceremony, Ribadu promised that Tinubu administration will restore Nigeria to the path of peace and security.

“Securing the nation is a continuous process. We will look at what has been done and build on it. We will count on your support in the course of discharging our responsibilities.
“Mr President has a huge commitment to securing every inch of our country. We will work with all stakeholders to deliver on this vision.

He urged all servicemen and Nigerians in general to cooperate with the Tinubu administration for the actualisation of a peaceful and secure nation.

“For me, I want to give gratitude to the Almighty God for giving me the grace to serve for such a long time and also allowing me to depart in good health and enjoy the rest of my life in an atmosphere that is bereft of the type of pressure that is associated with this all-important office.
“I am also wishing in the same vein that Mallam Nuhu Ribadu will have a very successful tenure and depart in good health when the time comes for him to depart,” the former NSA said.
