The President made the remarks on Saturday in Kaduna during the Third Late General Hassan Usman Katsina Memorial Conference. He was represented at the event by his Special Adviser on Political and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari.
Paying tribute to the late General Hassan Usman Katsina, Tinubu described him as a symbol of humility, discipline, patriotism and selfless service. He said the former military governor of the defunct Northern Region and later Chief of Army Staff played a significant role in promoting national unity and strengthening Nigeria during critical periods of its history.
According to the President, General Katsina’s commitment to the country’s unity helped lay the foundation for the democracy and freedoms Nigerians enjoy today.
Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to securing the nation and preserving the legacies of past national heroes. “While we continue to work day and night to secure our nation, by the grace of Allah, the challenges of insecurity confronting us, particularly in Northern Nigeria, will soon be behind us,” he said.
The President also outlined several initiatives undertaken by his administration to improve education, infrastructure, transportation and energy across the country.
The memorial conference was held to honour the contributions of General Katsina to nation-building and to reflect on values of service and unity in Nigeria’s governance.
