The Katsina State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Commandant of Corps Aminu Datti Ahmad, on Wednesday reaffirmed the corps’ commitment to peace and security in the state as he participated in a string of landmark events aimed at fostering harmony and stability.
Ahmad was a key guest at the opening ceremony of a two-day Early Warning, Early Response (EWER) Step Down Training for Security Forces held at Hillside Royal Suites, Katsina. The training, organized by the international conflict transformation NGO Search for Common Ground, is designed to equip security personnel with fresh approaches to managing and resolving conflicts.
Commending the organizers, Ahmad praised their dedication and stressed that collaboration between security forces, community stakeholders, and institutions was vital to tackling insecurity. “Promoting peace and security requires collective effort, and this training is a timely intervention for our state,” he noted.
But Ahmad’s peace mission did not end there. He later joined religious leaders and dignitaries at the first Qur’anic Recitation Competition 2025 organized by the Security Agencies Imams Forum of Katsina State in partnership with Gobarau Centre for Islamic Thought and Civilization and Al-Qalam University. The event, hosted at the University’s ICT Centre, spotlighted the role of Islamic scholarship in shaping moral values and fostering unity among security agencies and the public.
In yet another symbolic gesture of solidarity, the Commandant attended the flag-off of a special prayer session for peace and harmony in Katsina State. The solemn gathering, convened by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, took place at the Conference Hall of the Local Government Service Commission, Kaita Road, Katsina.
From conflict resolution training to Qur’anic recitation and prayer sessions, Ahmad’s presence at these events underscored the NSCDC’s broader mission: bridging security operations with community engagement and moral guidance.
The Katsina Command’s spokesperson, SC Buhari Hamisu, said the Commandant’s engagements demonstrate the NSCDC’s resolve to remain at the forefront of efforts aimed at stabilizing the state.
