Katsina Local Government has reached a significant milestone by becoming the 9th Local Government Area out of the 774 across Nigeria to officially launch its own website, a landmark step towards promoting transparency, accountability, and digital governance.
Before this development, only eight LGAs nationwide had active websites. This new achievement places Katsina Local Government among the few forward-thinking councils in Nigeria embracing innovation to improve service delivery and strengthen citizen engagement.
Speaking on the launch, the Executive Chairman, Hon. Isah Miqdad AD Saude, described the initiative as a tool designed to promote openness and better communication. According to him, “the official website was conceived as a platform to foster transparency, accountability, and effective communication between the government and the people.”
The website provides access to official information, updates on government programs, and also offers an avenue for residents to share feedback, inquiries, and suggestions directly with the Council.
This marks a historic first since the creation of Katsina State, as Katsina Local Government becomes the first LGA in the state’s history to establish an official website. The Council emphasized that the move reflects its commitment to modernization, openness, and the use of technology to enhance local governance.
The platform, accessible via www.katsinalg.kt.gov.ng, will serve as a hub for information on projects, policies, tenders, and public services, underscoring the administration’s dedication to inclusive and responsive leadership.
