The Katsina State Government says it will invest N30 billion in irrigation farming to boost agricultural sector in the state.

Gov. Dikko Radda said this on Monday, shortly after his return from a one month vacation, adding that he was back with full strength to move the state forward.

According to him, the aim is to boost irrigation farming and ensure that farmers can farm throughout the year, instead of farming only during the rainy season.

Radda said that part of the amount would be utilised for the setting of agricultural mechanised centres in each of the 34 local government areas in the state.

He added that the centres would be used to train farmers on modern agricultural techniques and supply them with agricultural facilities.

On his visit to China, the governor said that it was aimed at fostering partnerships and investments to develop Katsina state agricultural sector.

“With about 90 per cent of our population engaged in farming, these collaborations will significantly benefit our people and boost our state’s economy.”

The governor also revealed his plans to embark on a tour across the three senatorial zones in the state, to engage stakeholders on community priority-based projects.

According to him, the tour, which will include town hall meetings, is aimed at ensuring that government policies align with the needs and aspirations of the people.

The governor said, “Our government is aware of the challenges facing our people.

“I will embark on a tour across the state to hold town hall meetings, listen to the people, hear their grievances, and align government actions with their needs,” Radda said.

He said that his administration was doing its best toward reducing peoples’ hardship, especially through his various empowerment programmes.

The governor reiterated his sympathy for victims of banditry attacks in the state, and promised increased government commitment to addressing security challenges.

He said his administration planned to recruit and train young men from selected local governments for the Katsina Security Watch Corps, reinforcing the state’s security apparatus.

Radda also expressed deep appreciation for the people’s patience and understanding, restating his administration’s commitment to improving their welfare.

He commended his deputy, Alhaji Faruk Jobe, for his exemplary leadership as acting governor and thanked the State House of Assembly for its cooperation in repositioning the state. (NAN)
