Dr. Dikko Umar Radda Ph.D. CON visits World Bank

Partnership and collaboration between subnationals and development partners like the World Bank is vital, especially for states like Katsina facing security and social challenges. It ensures targeted investments in education, food security, empowerment, and infrastructure, driving inclusive growth and stability for vulnerable communities.
It’s based on this belief that Dr. Dikko Umar Radda paid a courtesy visit to the new World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Mr. Mathew Verghis at the Bank’s Country Office in Abuja.
Dr. Dikko Umar Radda warmly welcomed him to Nigeria and reaffirmed our state’s commitment to strengthening partnership with the World Bank in critical areas such as education, water supply, food security, women empowerment, energy, and technology.
The Country Director commended our delivery mechanisms and acknowledged Katsina’s performance in implementing World Bank projects, which recently earned the State $8m under SABER and $12.18m under TESS. He further promised enhanced funding and technical support to strengthen our development agenda.
