As the sacred festival of Eid al-Adha approaches, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, has extended heartfelt Sallah greetings to the good people of Katsina State and Muslims across the globe, urging reflection, sacrifice, and collective responsibility for the state’s continued progress.
In a press release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, Governor Radda emphasized that Eid al-Adha is not just a celebration, but a spiritual call to unity, faith, and kindness—values he believes are essential for healing and rebuilding Katsina in the face of current challenges.
“This year’s Eid arrives with the rains—a sign of mercy and a chance for renewal,” Governor Radda said. “I pray for good rains and a bountiful harvest for our farmers. Agriculture remains the lifeblood of our economy, and our Building Your Future agenda is designed to support farming, businesses, and communities.”
While celebrating two years in office, the Governor listed milestones in education, security, health, agriculture, youth empowerment, and infrastructure, reiterating his resolve to push even further.
“We’ve made steady progress—but we are just getting started,” he assured. “We are committed to touching every corner of Katsina State with meaningful development.”
In a powerful appeal for public support, Governor Radda reminded citizens that peace and development are everyone’s responsibility. He called on all residents to protect government projects, stand behind community development initiatives, and pray for the state and nation.
Recognizing the sacrifices of security personnel, Governor Radda lauded the efforts of the Armed Forces, Katsina Community Watch Corps, and all frontline operatives fighting insecurity:
“To our heroes in uniform and community volunteers braving the frontlines—your courage means everything to us. You have our full support, prayers, and gratitude.”
He also urged pilgrims at Arafat to remember Katsina State in their prayers, and encouraged those celebrating at home to reflect deeply and show kindness to those in need.
“Eid is about sacrifice. A simple act of kindness can uplift a soul,” he said. “I may be your Governor, but I can’t do this alone. With your prayers, support, and Allah’s guidance, we will overcome every challenge and build a better Katsina.”
Governor Radda ended his message with a solemn prayer for peace, unity, and divine blessings for all.
Eid Mubarak from the Government House, Katsina—The Home of Heritage and Hospitality.
