Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has praised the Nigerian Armed Forces for their sacrifice, courage, and dedication in defending the nation’s territorial integrity and protecting citizens.
Speaking on the 2026 Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day celebration, Governor Radda described the military as the backbone of Nigeria’s security architecture, particularly in frontline states battling insurgency and banditry.
“Today, we honour the living and remember the fallen. We celebrate the men and women in uniform who daily risk their lives so that we must sleep peacefully. Their sacrifice deserves our deepest gratitude and unwavering support,” the Governor stated.
Governor Radda noted that as a frontline state, Katsina has witnessed firsthand the bravery and professionalism of the Armed Forces in confronting security challenges.
He disclosed that the gradual return of peace to previously terrorized communities is a direct result of the military’s sustained operations and commitment to duty.
The Governor equally noted that the Building Your Future administration has prioritized collaboration with security agencies, providing logistics support, intelligence sharing and community engagement to enhance military operations.
Governor Radda urged citizens to support the Armed Forces by providing credible intelligence, avoiding activities that undermine security operations and remaining vigilant in their communities.
The Governor prayed for the repose of the souls of departed heroes and divine protection for serving members of the Armed Forces.
