He called on the public to remain vigilant, monitor unfamiliar individuals in their communities, avoid spreading unverified information, and provide useful information to relevant authorities.
“In our houses and neighbourhoods, we should be alive to our civic duty by doing what will enhance our collective security,” he stated.

Regarding the relationship between the State Government and the Legislative Assembly, Bawa affirmed the commitment of the Speaker of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Nasiru Yahya Daura, to legislation that prioritizes the people’s interests. He emphasized the need for cooperation and understanding between the Legislative and Executive branches to achieve these goals.
