Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, who inaugurated the committee in Katsina, said it would be chaired by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Abdullahi Faskari.

He said the committee included commissioners of Finance, Information, Security and Home Affairs, the state Head of Service, and Special Adviser, Victims of Banditry and Internally Displaced Persons, as members.

Other members are representative of the Emirs of Katsina and Daura, and the state Chairman of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, among others, while the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office, will serve as Secretary.
