Tinubu Pledges, Unwavering Support to Troops in Katsina
In a bold show of solidarity with Nigeria’s armed forces, President Bola Tinubu, recently, visited a military base in Katsina State .
He pledged unwavering support to frontline troops battling terrorism and banditry across the country.

We will meet every threat with courage and unity.”

He assured the men and women in uniform that they would receive the best available equipment,
reliable intelligence, and sufficient logistical support to not only defend Nigeria’s borders but to take the fight to the enemy.
He emphasized that the human side of the military campaign is equally important.
“War is won not by weapons alone, but by the hearts and minds of those who wield them,” he told the troops.
“Your welfare is my foremost concern. You will have secure housing, prompt payment of allowances, guaranteed healthcare,
Insurance for your families. Your dignity will be honored.”
The President highlighted a series of initiatives now under way,
Accelerated housing projects for service members, expanded family-support services at every base,

“No soldier should worry about tomorrow’s meals or a loved one’s well-being while on duty,” he said.
