Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, will temporarily step away from his official duties for three weeks to focus on his health.
The announcement was made Thursday by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Culture, Bala Salisu Zango, in an official statement.
“Taking the necessary steps to prioritize my health is essential so I can continue to serve effectively and make the best decisions for our state,” the commissioner quoted the governor as saying.
In the interim, Deputy Governor Malam Faruk Lawal “has been designated to assume the responsibilities” of the governor until Radda returns.
Governor Radda expressed full confidence in his deputy’s leadership, noting that the administration’s momentum will be maintained throughout his absence.
He also assured citizens that key government programs and infrastructure projects “will continue to progress without interruption.”
“The administration looks forward to his return, healthy and ready to continue serving the community,” the statement added.
