Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has issued a stern call to the 361 councillors recently sworn into office, charging them to discharge their duties with honesty, integrity, and full commitment to the people they represent.
Speaking during an engagement with the councillors, Radda reminded them that as grassroots leaders, they are the closest link between government and citizens. He stressed that their loyalty must remain with the people who elected them, not personal interests.
“You are here to serve, not to enrich yourselves,” the governor declared. “The trust of your communities is in your hands. Lead with integrity, and always place the welfare of the people above selfish ambition.”
Radda warned against any form of corruption or abuse of office, noting that such conduct would undermine public confidence and derail development at the local level. He encouraged the councillors to work hand in hand with their local government chairmen to deliver tangible projects and initiatives that would positively impact lives across the state.
Reassuring them of his administration’s support, the governor emphasized that true leadership is defined by service and accountability. “Your success will not be measured by how much power you hold, but by how much difference you make in the lives of your people,” he added.
