President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday held a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with the Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives (Nigeria), Tajudeen Abbas, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Although details of the high-level talks were not officially disclosed, Presidency sources said the meeting centred on pressing national security concerns and governance priorities, amid ongoing efforts to stabilise parts of the country affected by banditry and insurgency.
The presence of the House Speaker and a serving state governor alongside the National Security Adviser underscored the administration’s push for closer coordination between the executive, legislature and sub-national governments in tackling security challenges.
Officials described the engagement as part of President Tinubu’s broader strategy to deepen collaboration across key arms of government, as his administration seeks to restore public confidence and accelerate reforms in critical sectors.
No formal communiqué was issued after the meeting, but insiders said further consultations with security chiefs and political stakeholders are expected in the coming days.
