Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State spearheaded a delegation of ten governors from Northern Nigeria to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, United States.
Their mission? To forge robust partnerships across vital sectors and bolster regional cooperation.
Joined by counterparts from Niger, Plateau, and Benue States, Governor Radda engaged in high-level talks with Acting Ambassador Mrs. Uzoma Emenike and a distinguished assembly of global leaders.
Notable attendees included Mr. Gatete from the UN SDG, Ms. Damilola from Sustainable Energy for All, and Mr. Samaila Zubairu, President of Africa Finance Corporation.
The agenda was ambitious yet crucial: harnessing ICT advancements, ensuring energy sustainability, bolstering food security, expanding educational access, tackling climate change, and securing vital financing.
This strategic alliance aims to catalyze socio-economic progress and confront regional challenges head-on.
The pivotal gathering also saw the Northern Governors receiving an exclusive invitation from the Africa Centre at the United States Institute of Peace.
This invitation heralds their participation in a pivotal peace and security summit slated for April 23-25, 2024, in Washington DC—a testament to their commitment to global stability and prosperity.
