The Katsina State Government has approved the sum of N560 million to be used in purchasing security equipment for personnel of the newly-established Security Watch Corps in the State.
The approval is coming ahead of the graduation of about 1,500 youths recruited as personnel of the Katsina Security Watch network.
Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Nasiru Muazu Danmusa, revealed this while briefing newsmen on the outcome of an Executive Council Meeting presided by Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, today.
