Katsina State Governor and Chairman of the Northwest Governors’ Forum, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, today reaffirmed his commitment to regional collaboration and development as he attended the Northern States Governors’ Forum meeting held in Kaduna.
The high-profile gathering, chaired by Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, brought together governors from across the northern region, including Zamfara, Kebbi, Niger, and other neighboring states. The leaders engaged in robust deliberations aimed at addressing critical challenges such as security, education, infrastructure, and economic development.
Governor Radda praised the quality of discussions and expressed confidence in the resolutions adopted, describing them as “timely and strategic steps toward rebuilding and repositioning Northern Nigeria.”
“This forum reflects our shared commitment to confronting our challenges together and lifting our people through unity, purposeful dialogue, and coordinated action,” Governor Radda stated.
Adding cultural weight to the meeting, a revered assembly of traditional leaders—including the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar—lent their voices in support of the governors’ efforts and emphasized the need for collective leadership in safeguarding the region’s future.
The Kaduna meeting underscored a renewed determination among Northern leaders to forge stronger intergovernmental alliances, with Governor Radda at the forefront of advocacy for peace, security, and prosperity in the Northwest and beyond.
