In a decisive move to boost investment in Katsina State, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has introduced a series of reforms aimed at simplifying business processes and providing robust support to investors.
During a courtesy visit from Hajia Aisha Rimi, Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), at the government house, Governor Radda emphasized the administration’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment.
“We’re working diligently to ease restrictions and offer investors the political backing they need to succeed,” Governor Radda stated.
Key reforms include the automation of government activities to foster transparency and accountability, with initiatives like the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and automated revenue collections.
A new website set to launch in August will further enhance transparency in government expenditures.
Additionally, a unique state development management board will be established to oversee and monitor projects involving development partners and NGOs, ensuring timely and efficient service delivery.
The Strategic Policy and Monitoring Unit, operating directly under the Governor’s office, will ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of all government policies.
Hajia Aisha Rimi highlighted the NIPC’s role in assisting investors and stressed the importance of collaboration between state governors and the commission.
The visit to Katsina is part of the NIPC’s tour of northwestern states, aimed at gaining insights and providing targeted assistance to investors.
Governor Radda’s bold initiatives are set to make Katsina State a prime destination for investment, paving the way for economic growth and development.
