President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to reclaiming ungoverned areas, particularly forests in the North West and across Nigeria, deploying advanced surveillance and technology to combat kidnapping, banditry and terrorism.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, he made the promise when he addressed the Katsina elders and leaders at a state dinner held at the Government House on Friday night.

“On the issue of security raised by former governor Aminu Bello Masari again this evening, yes, I agree that security is a challenge for the country. I addressed the men and women of the armed forces earlier today and assured them that we will do everything to fight terrorism and banditry.

“We will invest more in technology and take over the forests. Security is a national issue, not just at the local or regional levels. If we genuinely need investment in Nigeria, we must address security.
“Investment will not go where there is banditry and terrorism. We will solve the problem together with the states and local councils,” he said.

President Tinubu highlighted encouraging signs of Nigeria’s economic recovery, attributing recent positive growth indicators to bold policy decisions.

He said the federal government would consider upgrading the airport in Katsina State to create jobs and expand the economy.

Tinubu also assured that victims of terrorism will receive support to pick up their lives.
The president thanked Aminu Bello Masari for his role in ensuring that he got the endorsement of the North West and emerged as the APC presidential candidate.

He thanked the governors who honoured the invitation of the Katsina State Governor Radda for the commissioning of projects and his daughter’s wedding.
The governors were those of Kaduna, Jigawa, Borno, Benue, Yobe, Sokoto, and Kwara States.

Tinubu acknowledged the leadership roles of Katsina indigenes in the country and described President Muhammadu Buhari as a man of integrity who contributed significantly to Nigeria’s development.

“I wish him well,” he said.

In his remarks, Governor Dikko Radda said the state had established a security outfit that gathers and supplies intelligence.

He said the proposed airport expansion, including the cargo terminal, customer terminal, and fire truck, would create 2,700 direct jobs and cost N54 billion.

Former governor Aminu Masari thanked the president for appointing two ministers from the state and appointing Kaduna indigenes as special advisers, chairmen of boards and heads of regulatory agencies such as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

On why he supported the president’s ambition to contest the 2023 elections, he said:

“You have the political will and courage to face the challenges of this country. You know the problem with humans: There will be resistance when new changes and a new social order are coming. And if you are not strong enough and determined, you will succumb, and the problem continues.

“But leadership is not about when it is all well. The hard way is the best; you know leaders during hard times. I know and believe you can do it; you have the courage.” Masari said the insecurity in the North West must be tackled holistically from the bottom up.
