Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo
We’re working to end insecurity in Nigeria, says Minister Tunji-Ojo
The Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said on Tuesday that the federal government is making efforts to tackle the nation’s security challenges.
Tunji-Ojo who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, said the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, are losing sleep over the issue.
“Nobody is resting. Not the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, not the Minister of Defence, not the Chief of Defence Staff, not the DSS,” the minister said.
“Nobody is sleeping, we are working. This security issue is a major issue of national concern and I will not sit here and refuse to take responsibility for the security of Nigerians on behalf of the President.”

He stated that although security has improved in the country since President Bola Tinubu’s administration came on board, the minister stated that the Boko Haram terrorists and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been degraded by troops.
The minister explained that the current administration has led by example in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.
He urged Nigerians not to judge Tinubu, saying the President is aware of the security challenges.
“The President is sensitive to these issues. Do not judge the President, or this administration by the level of assurance. Talk is cheap, the real deal is the action.
“We came May 29 last year, I don’t want us to bring politics into this. We all know the situations across the board, have we gotten to where we want to get to? The answer is no. Are we where we were? The answer is no. We have made progress,” Tunji-Ojo stated.
