ABUJA — President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Governor Dikko Umar Radda of Katsina State on his 57th birthday, describing him as a committed progressive, seasoned economist and grassroots administrator.
Tinubu said Radda’s life of service had continued to inspire young people, noting that since assuming office on May 29, 2023, the governor had demonstrated courage, focus and empathy in addressing Katsina State’s challenges, particularly in security and education.
The President described Radda, a former Chairman of Charanchi Local Government Area, former Chief of Staff, Katsina Government House, and former Director-General of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria, SMEDAN, as a model of how local knowledge and technocratic competence could combine to deliver transformative leadership.
