The Youth Action for Local Development (YALD) Project Team recently paid an advocacy visit to the Katsina State Development Management Board (KSDM) to discuss the project, implemented in partnership with LEAP Africa under the Nigeria Youth Futures Fund.
Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has reaffirmed his administration’s determination to rebuild lives and restore livelihoods affected by insecurity, describing the World Bank–supported Solutions for the Internally Displaced and Host Communities (SOLID) project as a “timely and strategic intervention that will bring lasting peace and renewed hope to affected communities.”
Great leaders are remembered not only for policies but for their understanding of the people they serve. For His Excellency, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, Executive Governor of Katsina State, this understanding comes from years spent in the classroom as a teacher and proud member of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT).
