Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this unfortunate incident,” stated Governor Radda.


To the governor, “natural disasters is a reminder of our shared vulnerability and the importance of standing together during times of crisis.” He stated that Katsina stands in complete solidarity with her Niger State brothers and sisters during this difficult period. The governor stressed the need for enhanced flood management systems and disaster preparedness measures across northern Nigeria, particularly as the rainy season intensifies.


Radda offers fervent prayers for the souls of the departed, asking Almighty Allah to forgive their shortcomings and grant them Aljannatul Firdaos. The governor also prayed for Allah’s divine comfort and strength for the bereaved families as they cope with their irreplaceable losses.


“I pray for Allah’s protection over all Nigerian communities against future natural disasters and calamities,” the governor concluded.
