The Katsina State Executive Council, led by Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has approved a new set of strategic projects and programmes aimed at improving the welfare of civil servants and the people across the state.
The approval was granted during the 16th Regular Council Meeting held at the Upper Chamber of the General Muhammadu Buhari House, Katsina, and presided over by Governor Radda.
Speaking after the meeting, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, Dr. Bala Salisu Zango, explained that the Council considered and adopted key recommendations under the Rumbun Sauki Programme, one of the state government’s major welfare initiatives designed to ease the living conditions of civil servants.
According to Dr. Zango, the newly approved measures under the Rumbun Sauki Programme include a downward review of commodity prices in all Rumbun Sauki stores across the state. He said this decision is targeted at making essential goods more affordable and reducing the financial pressure faced by workers and their families.
He added that the Council also approved the establishment of a new warehouse in Malumfashi metropolis to serve as a distribution centre for surrounding Local Government Areas. The new facility will make it easier for residents in nearby communities to access affordable goods and services offered through the Rumbun Sauki scheme.
“These decisions are part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen motivation and productivity within the civil service,” Dr. Zango stated.
He further noted that all the approvals made during the meeting are aligned with Governor Radda’s Building Your Future blueprint, a people-focused agenda aimed at promoting security, economic growth, and sustainable community development.
“These decisions clearly show that Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s administration is not only building physical infrastructure but also investing in people, institutions, and human capital that will sustain Katsina’s progress for generations to come,” Dr. Zango concluded.
