Despite the failure of the NigeriaAir project, former aviation minister, Hadi Sirika, has been appointed as a member of the Katsina State Security Intervention Trust Fund Committee.
The committee has the mandate to mobilise funds to support efforts in addressing the security challenges in the state.
The committee also has prominent businessman, Alhaji Dahiru Mangal, Sen. Abu Ibrahim and Sen. Ibrahim Idah as members.
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.
Radda mandated the committee to identify prominent indigenes and corporate organisations that could provide funding support, and suggest areas for the deployment of the fund.
He also tasked them to recommend trustees for the security trust fund, and to co-opt any person that would assist in the discharge of the assignment.
That is rewards for corruption,incompetence and mediocrity. Nigeria We Hail Thee!
