Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has commended the recent appointment of former Minister of aviation Hadi Sirika and others as new D

He emphasised that their roles remain central to the development drive of the state, calling on them to work closely with government structures in promoting social harmony, security, and the welfare of their people.
The governor extended his heartfelt congratulations to the newly installed district heads on behalf of the government and people of Katsina State, expressing hope that their tenure would be marked by unity, prosperity, and sustained progress across their respective districts.
