Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru, has received an award of excellence for his outstanding contributions to youth development and sports in Nigeria.
Political discourse in Katsina State and beyond has been dominated by one subject: Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s decision to proceed on a three-week medical leave amid prevailing security challenges. The debate has taken on a life of its own, with critics especially from opposition quarters claiming that the governor’s absence at such a time is irresponsible and insensitive.
