The Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership (AYAGL) has lauded Bola Ahmed Tinubu for extending the tenure of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Abubakar Audi, describing the decision as a demonstration of commitment to institutional continuity and national security.

In a statement signed by its president, Amb. Abdul DanBature, the group said the extension reflects the administration’s resolve to strengthen agencies responsible for safeguarding lives, property and critical national assets.

AYAGL noted that under Audi’s leadership, the NSCDC has recorded significant improvements in operational efficiency and public perception, citing enhanced protection of critical infrastructure, strengthened intelligence gathering, and improved collaboration with other security agencies.

The group further highlighted the Corps’ achievements in safeguarding oil and gas installations, curbing vandalism, tackling illegal mining and addressing emerging security threats across the country.

The youth organisation also commended President Tinubu for his directive to service chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri, describing the move as bold and strategic in confronting insecurity, particularly in the North-East.

According to the statement, the relocation is expected to improve coordination among security forces, boost rapid response and reinforce ongoing efforts to restore peace and stability in affected communities.

While acknowledging the administration’s efforts, AYAGL urged the president to intensify actions aimed at addressing the nation’s security and socio-economic challenges, noting that citizens’ expectations remain high.

The group also cautioned against politicising national security issues, urging the president to remain focused on delivering purposeful leadership, fostering unity and advancing policies that promote peace, development and prosperity.

It added that issues concerning the safety and well-being of Nigerians should remain above partisan considerations.

AYAGL further extended goodwill to the president and his family ahead of Eid al-Fitr, praying for continued wisdom and strength as he leads the country.
