Katsina State was abuzz with activity as Governor Dikko Umaru Radda welcomed a distinguished group of government officials to the Government House. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as heads of various agencies, led by the respected State Chief Judge Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar, paid their traditional Sallah homage.
Among the attendees were eminent figures such as High Court judges, the Head of Service, Permanent Secretaries, and other key leaders in government parastatals. It was a gathering that symbolized unity and purpose, reflecting the commitment of these individuals to public service.
As the meeting unfolded, Governor Radda delivered a compelling message that resonated with all present. He passionately called on each chief executive to take stock of their responsibilities and embark on a journey of self-evaluation. His words carried weight as he urged them to
“reflect on their actions and evaluate how they have upheld the trust placed in them.”
The Governor singled out Permanent Secretaries for special mention, acknowledging them as the
“engine rooms”
driving their respective organizations forward. In a time where efficiency is paramount, he stressed the need to streamline bureaucratic processes for seamless service delivery.
“Time stops for no one,”
he reminded them pointedly.
Amidst his exhortations for improved performance, Governor Radda expressed heartfelt gratitude towards all appointees for their unwavering dedication. He recognized their pivotal role in advancing the state’s agenda and implored them to deepen their commitment further.

Their support underscored the strong bond between leader and community in times of both celebration and sorrow.
Justice Abubakar reinforced these sentiments by emphasizing the sacred nature of public trust bestowed upon officials. He invoked the solemnity of oath-taking ceremonies that bind individuals to upholding responsibility with integrity. His reminder that ultimate accountability lies beyond this world served as a powerful motivator for all those present.
The delegation’s visit was not merely ceremonial; it was an opportunity for reflection and recommitment to serving Katsina State with diligence and honor. As they exchanged greetings and shared condolences over shared losses, bonds were strengthened among colleagues bound by duty.
Governor Radda’s call for introspection reverberated long after the meeting adjourned—a reminder that true leadership extends beyond titles and into actions that shape communities positively.
