Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, declared that his administration has implemented development projects worth more than N30 billion without incurring any debt. This feat, he said, showcased his government's commitment to responsible financial management and development. During the Tinubu/Dikko Assured (TDA) 2027 Islamiyya Teachers' Empowerment, School Commissioning, and the virtual inauguration of 45 solar streetlights at the Continental Events and Sports Complex, Katsina, Radda emphasized that the state has consistently paid salaries and pensions on time.
He attributed these successes to reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu, which have bolstered the capacity of states to execute projects and fulfill their financial obligations. Radda, positioning himself as a prudent financial manager, stated unequivocally, "Today, there is no sector where we are taking a loan to execute a single project in Katsina State.
We are paying pensions and meeting our obligations to the people of Katsina." He implored citizens to evaluate governments based on tangible projects and measurable achievements, rather than political rhetoric or misinformation. Radda further urged organizations and philanthropists to supplement government efforts in addressing developmental needs, acknowledging that the state cannot single-handedly provide all necessary interventions.
Former Governor Aminu Bello Masari criticized those who dismissed the achievements of the state and federal government as hypocritical, highlighting significant federal infrastructure projects as proof of improved infrastructure's ability to stimulate economic activities and support agriculture. Tinubu/Dikko Assured's Director-General, Hon.
Umar Ahmed Zayyad, emphasized the alignment of their programmes with the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Radda, citing the execution of projects worth over N30 billion as a testament to the administration's dedication to development. He urged residents to continue supporting government initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure and the welfare of citizens.
