Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has signed the state’s Open Government Partnership (OGP) State Action Plan III (2026–2027), declaring that effective governance depends on trust, openness, and listening to the public.

Governor Namadi announced this in a statement on his verified Facebook page late Monday.

The governor said the signing followed a briefing detailing the consultative process behind the development and adoption of the action plan.

Governor Namadi said government agencies, civil society organisations, development partners, the private sector, and local citizens collaborated in drawing up the plan.

“Listening to the presentation reminded me once again that real good governance rests on trust, openness, and a sincere readiness to hear the people we serve. That is precisely what this Action Plan stands for,” the governor stated.
