Today, I heartily celebrate my Governor, leader and partner in service, His Excellency, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, PhD, CON, as he marks his 57th birthday.
Working closely with Governor Radda has given me the opportunity to appreciate his passion for Katsina State and its people. He is a leader with listening ears who understands the yearnings and aspirations of the people and is always willing to find practical ways to improve their lives.
His accessibility is one of the qualities I admire most about him. He keeps his doors open, listens to different views and remains connected to the people he serves. He runs an inclusive government where people are given a sense of belonging and different voices are heard in the affairs of our state. His strong administrative capacity and commitment to results have equally brought meaningful progress to Katsina State.
I consider it a rare privilege to serve alongside him. Our relationship has been built on mutual respect, trust and a shared commitment to the development of Katsina State. Together, we have remained focused on delivering the Building Your Future agenda and improving the lives of our people.
Governor Radda is undoubtedly one of the finest leaders I have ever worked with. His dedication, courage and commitment to public service continue to inspire me and many others around him.
On behalf of myself and my family, I warmly congratulate you, Your Excellency, on your 57th birthday. I pray that Almighty Allah continues to grant you good health, greater wisdom, strength and many more years of purposeful service to Katsina State and humanity.
It is an honour to walk this path of service with you.
Happy 57th birthday, my Governor and the People’s Governor.
