Our Dear Mallam Dikko Umaru Radda,
I will like to use this opportunity to congratulate you on your successful inauguration as the 6th Civilian Governor of our beloved Katsina State.
It is an honour and a privilege to serve the people of our great state, and we are confident that you will lead with integrity, transparency and dedication.
As citizens of Katsina, we have high hopes for your administration and the positive changes that you can bring to our communities. We believe that you will prioritize the interests of the people and work towards improving our standard of living.
In this letter, I will like to share with you our expectations from your administration. We hope that you will take our concerns and suggestions into consideration as you work towards building a better Katsina for all.
Firstly, we expect transparency and accountability in all government affairs. We want to be kept informed about your policies and decisions, and we want to be involved in the decision-making process. We hope that you will prioritize the interests of the people and work towards improving our standard of living.
One of the major challenges our state is facing is the issue of bad roads. The poor state of our roads not only causes inconvenience to commuters but also leads to accidents and loss of lives. We urge your administration to prioritize road construction and maintenance.
We recommend that you invest in modern technology and equipment for road construction and maintenance, as well as partner with private companies to ensure that our roads are of high quality.
We also recommend that you create a system for regular road maintenance and repair, to ensure that our roads are always in good condition. By addressing this issue, you will not only improve the quality of life for the people of Katsina but also attract investors and boost economic growth.
Another major issue that we face in Katsina is insecurity. The frequent incidents of kidnapping, banditry, and other criminal activities have caused fear and anxiety among citizens.
We urge your administration to prioritize security and take decisive action to address this issue. We recommend that you increase the number of security personnel in the state, as well as equip them with modern technology and equipment to tackle crime.
We also recommend that you establish a system for intelligence gathering and sharing, to enable security personnel to act proactively and prevent crime before it happens.
We also recommend that you engage in dialogue with community leaders and other stakeholders, to promote peace and understanding, and address the root causes of insecurity. By addressing this issue, you will ensure that the people of Katsina feel safe and secure in their homes and communities.
Another challenge we are facing in our educational system in Katsina is the lack of serious teachers. Many of our public schools lack qualified and dedicated teachers, leading to poor quality education and low academic performance. We urge your administration to prioritize education and take steps to address this issue.
We recommend that you increase the number of qualified teachers in our public schools, as well as provide training and support to ensure that they are effective in their roles. We also recommend that you establish a system for monitoring teacher performance and ensuring accountability.
