The Chief of Army Staff, Faruk Yahaya, has appealed to Katsina residents to provide security agencies with credible information to fight bandits and other criminals.

Mr Yahaya appealed on Wednesday at the inauguration of some projects provided by the Nigerian Army at Government Day Secondary School, Malumfashi.

He stressed that credible information would help the security agencies to provide the required services and ensure a secure environment.

The COAS commended the state’s people for supporting the Nigerian Army to ensure a crime-free society.

He assured the army’s loyalty to President Bola Tinubu as the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The COAS pledged that the army would always remain professional in discharging its responsibilities and support the president in achieving his vision of having a safer and secured Nigeria.

The projects executed under the Department of Civil Military Affairs, Army Headquarters, comprised two blocks of four classrooms, two staff rooms with convenience, and an assembly hall.

In his welcome address, the chief of training (army), Sani Mohammed, explained that the projects were to complement the existing infrastructure in the school.
