President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State for his exceptional efforts in defending the nation’s freedom, liberty, and commonwealth.

The President made this known on Monday while declaring open the second edition of the National Economic Council meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Tinubu praised Radda’s unwavering commitment to securing Katsina State and protecting citizens against criminal elements threatening the peace and stability of the nation.

“We will not relent. We will not be distracted. We will continue to support our security forces with everything they need until peace is fully restored to every corner of Katsina,” he pledged.

The Governor assured that his government would sustain the momentum until total peace is achieved.
