Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has inaugurated 10 branded vehicles and 10 motorcycles provided to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and support the activities of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Ward and Local Government structures in Rimi Local Government Area. The event was attended by members of the Katsina State Executive Council, APC leaders, government officials, local government stakeholders, ward coordinators, community leaders and other supporters from Rimi Local Government Area.
The Governor performed the inauguration on Tuesday at the Rimi Local Government Secretariat Complex, describing the initiative by his Principal Private Secretary, Hon. Abdullahi Aliyu Turaji, as a demonstration of commitment to strengthening grassroots structures and supporting community development. Governor Radda said the large turnout and warm reception in Rimi reflected the longstanding relationship between his administration and the people of the local government.
Governor Radda explained that the longstanding relationship was one of the reasons his administration continued to prioritise important development interventions in the area, including the ongoing water project designed to extend water supply from Zobe Dam to communities in Rimi. “We have seen the support from Rimi since the beginning of our journey. That is why, whenever we are considering important projects, Rimi Local Government is among the areas we consider,” Governor Radda said.
The Governor commended the stakeholders, community leaders and people of Rimi for their continued support and cooperation, while appreciating Turaji for providing the vehicles and motorcycles to strengthen grassroots engagement. “We came today to inaugurate the empowerment provided by a son of Rimi, Abdullahi Aliyu Turaji. We thank him for this initiative,” the Governor said.
Governor Radda urged APC leaders and stakeholders to sustain grassroots mobilisation and ensure that government programmes and achievements were effectively communicated to communities across the local government. He assured the people of Rimi of his administration’s continued commitment to development initiatives capable of improving livelihoods, strengthening communities and expanding opportunities for citizens.
The Chairman of the APC in Katsina State, Dr Bashir Gambo Saulawa, said the State Executive Committee was in Rimi to witness what he described as a significant grassroots empowerment initiative. He said the vehicles and motorcycles would strengthen the party’s mobilisation structure and improve engagement with communities across the local government.
The initiative was inspired by Governor Radda’s commitment to empowering people and strengthening grassroots structures across the state, according to Turaji. The provision of 10 vehicles and 10 motorcycles was designed to facilitate grassroots mobilisation and enable ward and local government coordinators to operate more effectively, he added.
