Christopher Musa, the chief of defence staff (CDS), says the armed forces of Nigeria are committed to safeguarding Katsina state and other parts of the country.
Musa spoke in Abuja on Friday when he received national assembly members from Katsina, led by Abdulazeez Yar’Adua, chairman of the senate committee on army, at the defence headquarters.
According to a statement by Tukur Gusau, the director of defence information, the CDS pledged sustained collaboration with the legislature, noting that the military had introduced new tactics and strategies to counter evolving security challenges.
He emphasised that the ultimate objective of the armed forces is to restore peace and stability nationwide.
