Speaking to newsmen, Colonel Usman noted that General Musa has been supportive of the state government’s efforts to secure the state against banditry and other forms of insecurity.

Colonel Usman stated that the government is keen on restoring security in the eastern part of the state, allowing displaced farmers to return to their communities and resume farming activities.
“Since General Musa took office, he has visited Sokoto several times to assess the progress of the fight against banditry.
He has also demonstrated firm commitment to the welfare of the troops.”
The Special Adviser also commended General Musa for his contribution to the state’s educational development, particularly by renovating his alma mata, Malam Yahaya Abdulkareem Model Primary School, and supporting its staff.
Colonel Usman reiterated the state government’s commitment to security and the general well-being of its people.
