Governor Radda Unveils Key Initiatives for Katsina
Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has emphasized his commitment to enhancing critical infrastructure and supporting entrepreneurship to advance the state. Speaking at the Award/Dinner Night for the 37th anniversary of the state’s creation, he highlighted the creation of the Ministry for Internal Security and Home Affairs, which has recruited 1,456 Community Watch Corps members and plans to add 500 more to improve security against banditry.
In the last 14 months, Radda’s administration has focused on education by hiring 7,325 teachers and sponsoring 109 students in fields like Artificial Intelligence and MBBS in China and Egypt. Additionally, he announced plans to upgrade three primary health centers to general hospitals and renovate over 100 healthcare facilities, aiming to establish at least one functional primary healthcare clinic in each of the 361 political wards.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.

The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
