Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda, says the state government has established a cybercrime commission in a bid to boost its fight against corruption.
He revealed this in an interview with State House correspondents, saying that Katsina State has shown its support to the Nigerian government in curbing financial crimes.
Governor Radda noted that the youth must be positively engaged to sway them away from criminal elements.
He added that those in leadership positions must manage the resources at their disposal very well.
“We have created an anti-corruption agency and a cybercrime commission in the State, just to support the federal government in its fight against criminalities and then we need to develop our youths through the creation of technology and innovation hubs so that things could be better for our nation.
“The only alternative we have in this country for any growth and development is creating good governance, transparency and accountability. We have to manage the little resources we have very well and make sure that it is used for the people it is meant for,” he said.
