Radda’s Challenge: Time to Step Up!
Governor Dikko Radda didn’t mince words when a delegation led by the State Chief Judge, Justice Musa Danladi-Abubakar, paid him a Sallah homage. He directly tasked Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and top government officials to seriously evaluate their actions and contributions to the state’s advancement. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a call to action!
Smash the Bureaucracy!
The Governor highlighted the vital role of permanent secretaries, calling them the “engine rooms” of their respective establishments. He strongly advised them to reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks in their administrative duties for smoother and more effective service delivery. According to Radda, “This is necessary as time is not waiting for anyone.”
Think of it like this: Imagine trying to order jollof rice, but you have to fill out 10 forms and wait a week. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Radda wants things to move faster and more efficiently.
Gratitude and Grief
Governor Radda expressed his appreciation to all his appointees for their dedication and asked for even more commitment. He also thanked the people of Katsina State and Nigerians at large for their condolences following the recent passing of his mother, Hajiya Safara’u Umaru Barebari. It’s a tough time for the Governor, but he remains focused on serving the people.
Justice Danladi-Abubakar’s Reminder
Earlier, Justice Danladi-Abubakar, the State Chief Judge, stated that the delegation’s visit was a Sallah homage and a reminder of the public trust placed upon them. He emphasized that their oath of office clearly defines their responsibilities. He also reminded everyone that they will be held accountable for their actions in the afterlife.
Looking Ahead
Governor Radda’s push for self-evaluation and efficiency is a clear sign that he’s serious about driving progress in Katsina State. It remains to be seen how these directives will be implemented, but one thing is certain: the pressure is on for CEOs and government officials to deliver!
