In an effort to fast track development of Katsina State, Gov Dikko Radda has launched Katsina State Community Development Programme (KSCDP).
The programme was launched in Funtua Senatorial District on Sunday September 1, 2024 with government officials, political, traditional and religious leaders, community leaders, women and youth from the 11 Local Government Areas that made up the Senatorial Zone in attendance
The objectives of the KSCDP are increase in participation and development in governance; enhance infrastructure and accessibility; address socio-economic injustice; promote peace building and conflict resolution; environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
Recall that when Dikko Radda, during his electioneering campaigns went round the 361 wards in the 34 LGAs of the state pledged to maximally use the state’s resources to ensure the development of the state; based on the needs and desires of the various communities.
Although Dikko Radda has done remarkably well, in terms of addressing major challenges facing the state such as serious insecurity, unemployment, poverty, among others, the launching of the KSCDP is another milestone and a paradigm shift in governance.
There was also a town hall meeting with critical stakeholders from the zone to sensitize them on the modus operandi of the KDCDP in the state
The launching and the tow hall meeting will also hold in Daura Senatorial Zone Monday and Katrina Central on Tuesday, 2nd and 3rd September respectively.
Commenting on the initiatives, a critical political stakeholder from Funtua Senatorial Zone, Alhaji Bala Abu Musawa, acknowledged the efforts made in tackling security issues in the state by the governor, he however called on him to improve and put more effort.
