In its bid to ensuring that Kano remains peaceful and safe, the state government plans to establish Security Trust Fund in the state.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf announced this while speaking with newsmen during this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Kano, Monday.

The Trust Fund he said would be used to keep Kano peaceful and provide the youths with the required jobs that would take them away from all forms of social vices

“We are inviting eminent Kano personalities to come and help us establish this Security Trust Fund that will allow us to keep Kano and its environs safe and secure.

“We are determined to ensure that Kano remains peaceful and safe, and as such, my Government will leave no stone unturned to actualize this noble dream,” he said.

His government he stated has a special concern for the welfare of our fallen heroes and “that was why when we were distributing palliatives we directed that they should be included.”

“I told the Palliatives Distribution Committee that the families of soldiers and other Security Agencies whose loved ones are no longer alive to be given special package and they have done so,” he said.

The governor promised that his administration would partner with all Security Agencies in the State to maintain the peace being enjoyed in the state.
