The Niger Delta Youth Congress (NDYC) has endorsed the government’s recent stance on security reform, following criticisms from various quarters suggesting that the reforms are insufficient. The NDYC responded by asserting that the measures being implemented are part of a comprehensive strategy to address security challenges in the country and should not be prematurely judged.
The NDYC emphasized that security reform is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution. They commended the government for taking decisive steps to enhance the capacity of the Armed Forces and other security agencies, noting that these efforts are already yielding positive results in several regions.
The group called on critics to adopt a constructive approach by offering suggestions rather than engaging in negative rhetoric that could demoralize the security forces. The NDYC also urged Nigerians to remain patient and to support the government’s initiatives aimed at ensuring long-term peace and stability.
In its concluding remarks, the NDYC reaffirmed its commitment to working with the government to promote security and development across the Niger Delta and the nation at large, while encouraging citizens to remain vigilant and supportive of ongoing reforms.
