Reflecting on the significance of Ramadan, the Commander General urged personnel to emulate virtues such as patience, sacrifice, and compassion. “Let us strengthen unity, mutual respect, and commitment to serving the people of Kano State, drawing inspiration from the spiritual lessons of this blessed month,” he said.
He also encouraged members to pray for guidance and protection in their duties. “We must pray for sustainable peace, prosperity, and stability across our state and nation, for peace and security remain the foundation for development,” he said.
He commended officers for their dedication and sacrifices in safeguarding communities. “Remain steadfast in protecting lives and property, for your commitment defines the integrity and strength of this Corps,” the Commander General added.
