Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina State has sworn in three new commissioners and eight permanent secretaries, urging them to view their appointments not as rewards, but as solemn responsibilities to serve the people of the State with honesty, transparency, and a sense of Duty.
Those sworn in as commissioners include Yusuf Jibia, Aisha Malumfashi, and Sirajo Abukur.
Those sworn in as Permanent Secretaries are: Yusuf Ahmed (Katsina LGA), Aminu Ibrahim (Katsina LGA), Aishatu Abdullahi (Dutsinma LGA), Dasuki Ibrahim Abubakar (Malumfashi LGA), Lawal Abashe (Matazu LGA), Ado Yahaya (Sabuwa LGA), Sani Rabi’u Jibia (Jibia LGA), and Nasiru Ladan (Kaita LGA).
The governor emphasized that the swearing-in ceremony took place at a time when his administration is reviewing its performance after two and a half years in office, with the intention of strengthening the civil service and enhancing its responsiveness to citizens’ needs.
The ceremony, held on Thursday at the Katsina Government House Council Chamber, was attended by top government officials, traditional rulers, local government chairmen, and families of the appointees.
Governor Radda described the event as “a renewal of commitment to good governance, accountability, and effective service delivery.”
“This government is now almost two and a half years in office. It is, therefore, time for us to reassess what we have done so far and reposition people in various capacities to strengthen the system,” he said.
Governor Radda praised the new commissioners for their competence, integrity, and record of public service.
