The meeting took place at the Federal Ministry of Defence in Abuja, with Katung describing it as a vital step toward securing stronger federal intervention to restore peace and protect lives and property in the affected areas.
In a statement released on Saturday, March 7, 2026, Katung expressed satisfaction with the minister's response, noting Musa's strong commitment to addressing the issues and his readiness to support efforts for improved security.
“The meeting was a crucial step towards addressing security concerns affecting some of our communities in Kaduna South Senatorial District,” Katung said.
He praised the minister's approach as “comprehensive,” extending beyond the senatorial district to the broader needs of Kaduna State and Nigeria as a whole.
The senator highlighted the need for collaboration among political leaders, security agencies, and community stakeholders, stating: “As a representative of the people, I am committed to working with the minister and other stakeholders to find lasting solutions to our security challenges.”
Katung also paid tribute to security personnel, acknowledging their tireless efforts and sacrifices: “Our security personnel work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. Their sacrifices deserve our appreciation and support.”
