Katsina Governor Calls for Unity, Political Coordination in North-West

Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has called for stronger political coordination, grassroots engagement, and strategic communication among stakeholders in the North-West region to reposition the zone in Nigeria’s political and development trajectory.

The governor made the appeal during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja, which brought together senior political office holders from the Federal Government, members of the National Assembly, heads of federal agencies, and other key figures from Katsina State and the wider North-West region.

The meeting focused on strengthening political collaboration, improving stakeholder engagement, and developing strategies to enhance governance and the region’s influence in national affairs.

Speaking at the event, Governor Radda stressed the need to revive the Katsina stakeholders’ forum as a platform for unity, collaboration, and policy alignment.

He urged participants to take ownership of the government’s narrative by actively promoting the achievements and programmes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Radda emphasised the role of effective communication, urging stakeholders to leverage radio and print media platforms to disseminate accurate information and strengthen public trust.

He also called on stakeholders in Katsina and the North-West to sustain their influence in national politics, particularly in shaping future political transitions, and to return to the grassroots to demonstrate their relevance at the ward, local government, and state levels.

Key resolutions from the meeting included the need for improved funding of federal agencies to enhance service delivery, especially at the grassroots, and the necessity of inclusive governance in decision-making processes at all levels.
