The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has praised Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for his responsible leadership, stating that President Bola Tinubu is happy with the governor.

Ribadu said Rivers is one of the most peaceful states in the country, commending Fubara for his leadership style.

NSA spoke on Monday when he led a presidential delegation comprising the ministers of works, David Umahi, and environment, Balarabe Lawal, and top officials of NNPCL on a courtesy visit to the Rivers State Government House in Port.

He told the governor that the Federal Government delegation was in the state to consolidate ongoing peace efforts in Ogoniland.

Ribadu noted that a new chapter is unfolding in the Ogoni ethnic nationality of the state, stressing that Nigeria would no longer be what it used to be, with the transformation beginning from the area.

He said President Bola Tinubu specifically directed him to thank Governor Fubara, expressing happiness with his leadership style and coordination of the discussion on the resumption of oil exploration in Ogoni.

NSA also conveyed the President’s appreciation to the people of Ogoni for their support, patience, and understanding.

He hailed the state government for providing a campus for the University of Environment as well as accommodating the South-South Zonal Office of the Office of the National Security Adviser.

Notwithstanding, the governor also appealed to Ogoni leaders to engage the youths to allow oil facility operators access to repair faulty equipment in order to prevent fresh oil spills while environmental restoration is ongoing.
