Katsina State Government has approved ₦20 million for each local government to renovate graveyards in its area.

Governor Dikko Radda made the disclosure when he received royal fathers from the Katsina and Daura Emirates on Thursday in Katsina.

He described the initiative as both a service to the people and a way of seeking Allah’s blessings for the state.

Radda also announced a new welfare package to empower traditional rulers and religious leaders in the state.

He stated that under a new law passed by the State House of Assembly, “all District Heads would now earn salaries not less than Grade Level 16.

“In addition, 6,652 ward heads across the state will receive monthly allowances while more than 3, 000 Imams and their deputies from Friday Mosques will be supported with stipends.

“Furthermore, Izala and Darika Mosque sweepers in each of the 34 local government areas will also benefit from allowances.”

The governor reaffirmed his administration’s determination to confront insecurity head-on, pointing out that security remained the foremost priority of his government.

According to him, over 1, 500 youths have so far been trained to support security efforts toward taming the insecurity challenge bedevilling the state.

The youths, he said, were fully kitted with uniforms, life jackets, and operational tools.

Radda, therefore, urged traditional rulers and community leaders to intensify awareness, reminding citizens that they must first help themselves before government intervention could yield lasting results.

“Security is a collective responsibility. We must unite to protect our people,” he said.

Earlier, the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruq-Umar, represented by the District Head of Baure, Alhaji Daha Umar-Farouq, reaffirmed their solidarity following the recent car accident that involved the governor in Daura.

Also speaking, the Wazirin Katsina, Sen. Ibrahim Ida, who represented the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir-Usman, and commended the governor for his commitment to repositioning the two emirates for greater heights.

He noted that the reforms introduced by the administration had restored dignity to traditional institutions and strengthened their role in governance and community development.

The Emirate Council, he added, would continue to support the government through prayers and cooperation to promote peace, unity, and prosperity across the state.

Renovating graveyards when Kastina state is the hotbed of banditry and terrorism? One of the poverty stricken state in Nigeria today.

Just imagine the wastage everyone under this government of a criminal has become. God have mercy.

'And speak Allah's blessings for the State'.....

Nigerian politicians don learn how to weaponise religion.

So if you don't renovate graveyards in Katsina State, Allah won't pick the state call eehh, Mr Governor

The dead deserves more attention than the living .

Well done APC

Northern government
No go tire to shock me

Nigeria is a joke walahi. Why are they all blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and allowing these governors get away with irresponsible governance? Look at what this Dikko Radarada is doing? 20m times 34 local governments. The mob focus too much on PBAT that they couldn't see that these governors also contribute much to the hardship being experienced.

Misplaced priorities abound in this our country Nigeria

So that bandits can attack Dem more than before bah? Lol APC just come to destroy nothing more

Radarada according to Yoruba people 😂😂😂


@Seun, how many characters remain......

They are renovating the resting places of those they killed with hunger and hardship and those that they are intending to..Nigerian political leaders are terrible.

Nobody that supports APC who doesn't sound or acts foolish

When the living area living far below poverty line, all this government can think of is grave yard?

Nigerian politician need to undertate Psychiatric test because this can't be ordinary

Because they get free money from Niger-Delta oil

Instead of channeling such money to enhance Almajiri school.

What! This must be a joke.
Renovating graveyard of the dead while the living wallow in intense hardship and insecurity.

How did we get here Bikonu?

Northern politicians are just weird. Always misplacing priorities

Katsina residents now go dy hungry to die. Lol funny government.

An AL Jazeera report on Katsina state yesterday was obscenely upsetting and disgraceful. I kept wondering if it is my same country and fatherland.

I doubt if the Katsina state Governor has seen that report. He should go watch the report. If he sees that report, he and his media handlers will not be pushing grave news to the media. Smh

KATSINA GOVERNOR IS VERY PROACTIVE ....... KATSINA URGENTLY NEED MORE GRAVE YARDS AS THE GOVERNMENT ENVISAGES SHARP INCREASE IN DEATHS RESULTING FROM THE UNDERLISTED CAUSES~~

1. CRUDE DEATH FROM BANDITS IS ESTIMATED AT 1,500,000

INFACT THE GOV SHOULD INCREASE THE BUDGET TO N50M PER LG

THATS THE WAY IT IS IN NAIJA

Rada Rada

After what buharia did with Nigeria 🇳🇬, I Don't expect his home state to enjoy good governance...is karma

When you don't sweat before getting something, you don't value it.

The money this guy is spending like this, how much was generated as a result of commercial activities in the state?

I don't see anything wrong with renovating a Cemetery.

Well, maybe the spirit of the dead had been communicating with him for sometime now, they have been appearing to him, probably issuing an ultimatum or he faces the music, please bear with him.

People of Katsina State make ready to dey die because una Governor RADDA want renovate Graveyards for una. But the Governor nor dey see the hungry and the suffering of his people. The Agbadorians will not see anything wrong here dem go wan defend the APC. (APC Governors una doooo)

Tax payers money is used to fund religion....

. As in .....imams, deputy imams and mosque sweepers are to receive salary??

But what type of country is this

There's the black man for you. Daft and empty. In one of the poorest states in Nigeria, this is what they think of.

I wish there is a way I can see what's inside the brain of some Nigerian politicians

It's possible

Doesn't see too much for me

It depends on the size
