THE newly sworn-in Governor of Katsina State Dikko Radda on Monday called on bandits to turn a new leaf or face the consequences of their actions.
He issued the warning during his inauguration in Katsina, the state capital.
“To the bandits, I say abandon your cause and reintegrate into society or face the full wrath of the law,” he warned.
“I urge our youths to shun drug abuse, time-wasting, and criminality. We will work with relevant law enforcement agencies to promote social order and overall security in the state.”
While vowing to deploy all available resources to end banditry and criminality across the state, he promised to engage communities in doing that.
His administration, he explained, will do its best to build the lives and mental well-being of those affected by insecurity in the state.
Governor Radda also restated his administration’s readiness to establish an agency that will promote employment generation and youth engagement by developing MSMEs in the state.
He also assured residents to expect possible changes in land administration and revenue generation, environmental management, and infrastructure over the coming weeks and months.
“A new approach means the public sector must be upskilled to work more efficiently in line with our strategic policy objectives,” he said.
“The process of modernising public sector administration is not designed to bring hardship for civil servants but to ensure that they are working in capacities that match their competencies with the right tools and remuneration.”
