Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, on Friday praised President Bola Tinubu for what he described as the steady progress in tackling insecurity across the country, saying recent security operations have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Federal Government’s intelligence-led approach.

Bello spoke after a meeting with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, at the Office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja.

In a statement issued by his media office, the former governor said the recent foiling of an attempted abduction of schoolchildren in Kogi State highlighted the level of security support the state continues to receive from the Federal Government.

He said the operation reflected improved coordination among the nation’s security agencies and showed that ongoing investments in intelligence gathering and inter-agency collaboration were producing results.
