MAY 9, 2017 (NAN) Alhaji Abdu Soro, interim administrator, Mai’adua local government council in Katsina state, has commended the administration of Gov Aminu Masari for promoting security in the area.

He said that since its inception in 2015, the administration had made `commendable efforts’ to enhance security.

“Thousands of traders patronise Mai’adua international market weekly to conduct their businesses without hitch.

“I cannot remember when any incidence of breach of security was recorded here.’’

“Every part of this state is secured and free from cattle rustling and other related crimes,” he said.

He also lauded the efforts of the police, the military, the customs and immigration services as well as civil defence and community policing outfits for their vigilance.

The chairman also lauded traditional and religious leaders for their efforts in promoting security.
