Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has announced the recruitment of an additional 2,000 medical personnel to strengthen healthcare delivery across the state.
The Governor made the disclosure on Wednesday while overseeing a verification exercise conducted by the committee handling a comprehensive staff audit in his office. He also disclosed that his administration will soon issue employment letters to over 1,000 medical staff who have already completed required processes.
Governor Radda explained that the recruitment of medical personnel is part of the administration’s commitment to ensuring efficient healthcare services and addressing staff shortages in hospitals and primary health centres across Katsina State. He said improving manpower would help reduce pressure on existing workers and improve patient care.
In addition to healthcare recruitment, the Governor revealed that the state government plans to employ about 2,000 teachers to fill vacancies created by retirements in the education sector. “This recruitment exercise is aimed at addressing manpower gaps in our schools and ensuring that every child in Katsina has access to quality education,” Governor Radda stated.
He emphasized that the recruitment plans align with the administration’s broader agenda of enhancing public service delivery while creating employment opportunities for youths and qualified professionals in the state.
Governor Radda urged the verification and recruitment committees to conduct their duties with transparency, fairness, and professionalism. He also called on residents to cooperate with government efforts, noting that well staffed health and education sectors are critical to Katsina State’s development. The recruitment exercises expected to commence soon.
