Group partners Katsina women journalists to combat violence extremism

 

The Partnership Against Violent Extremism Network, Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Knowledge, Innovation, and Resource Hub, in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser and KIRH partners has solicited the partnership of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, Katsina State chapter in the fight against violence extremism.

Chairman of the group, Dr. Bashir Ruwangodiya while on an advocacy visit to NAWOJ at the Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat on Tuesday said tey We are currently undertaking a crucial initiative to provide technical support for the domestication of the National PCVE Framework within Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, and Sokoto States.

Highlighting the background of the PAVE, Ruwangodiya noted that the group registered as an Incorporated Trustee with the Corporate Affairs Commission as Association against Violent Extremism CAC/IT/NO 119408 in October 2018.

From inception to date we work closely with the National Counter Terrorism Centre under the Office of the National Security Advisor

 This process involves working closely with state-level stakeholders to co-create State Action Plans and Local Action Plans that are aligned with the national framework. 

Through this advocacy visit, we believe that your support will significantly strengthen our efforts and foster a collaborative environment conducive to the successful implementation of effective PCVE strategies within Katsina State in line with the National Action Plan. 

We request for partnership with you having monitored your activities over time. We carefully selected your association to work with.

We canvass for your support because you are stakeholders in the peace process especially social justice. Most of the victims of banditry or whatever form are women and children while youths are in between which they can be used as perpetrators of conflicts and also be used as tools in the social justice as well. 

Having being a media association which we know you will amplify your voices in creating awareness of the negative impacts of conflicts. We are here to canvass for your support to support our course towards ensuring minimising extremism in the society. 

On her part, the Katsina State Chairperson of the NAWOJ, Hannatu Mohammed expressed gratitude to the group for selecting the association to partner with. "We are glad that you carefully selected our association to partner with. 

This is not out of place considering that we women Journalists in Katsina State have been on our toes to ensure justice for any marginalised individual because we want to have a better and conflict free society. 

As you rightly said whenever there is conflict, women and children are mostly affected. Having listened to your activities, NAWOJ will work closely with you to ensure we reduce conflicts of whatever kind in Katsina”, Mohammed said.

Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda personally led a top-level security delegation to Maharba village in Matazu Local Government Area to conduct an on-the-spot assessment following a tragic bandit ambush that claimed lives of five Community Security Watch Corps personnel.

The Governor's delegation, which included State Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs Dr. Nasiru Muazu Danmusa, the State Commissioner of Police, Director of State Security Services, Chief of Staff Alhaji Abdulkadir Mamman Nasir, and other security personnel, was led to the incident scene by Matazu Local Government Chairman Alhaji Shamsudeen Muhammad Sayaya.

The attack claimed the life of Community Watch Commander Mallam Sanusi, who coordinated security operations covering Kusada, Kankia, and parts of Charanci Local Government Areas, along with four of his men who were traveling in a Hilux vehicle on a reinforcement mission.

According to reports, the security team had responded to intelligence about a large number of bandits approaching villages in Matazu Local Government when they were ambushed at a major stream by approximately twenty bandits on motorcycles who had concealed themselves in mango trees.

The Commander and his team were trapped at the location, with their Hilux vehicle set ablaze during the attack. The vehicle was still smoldering when the Governor arrived at the scene for his assessment.

Following the site inspection, Governor Radda toured hard-to-reach areas to gain firsthand knowledge of community conditions and engaged directly with residents about his administration's mission and government readiness to address security challenges.

The Governor also reaffirmed the administration commitment to work closely with security agencies and community stakeholders to enhance protective measures for both security personnel and civilian populations across Katsina State.

Providing insight into the Governor's visit, State Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs Dr. Nasiru Muazu Danmusa explained the comprehensive approach being adopted to combat insecurity.

"The state had in the recent time witnessed incessant banditry attacks on one hand and on the other hand recording success in the fight against bandits taking into cognizance of the efforts of the military against bandits around Ruwan Godiya access," Dr. Danmusa stated.

The Commissioner emphasized that "the visit of the state governor to the scene where the five men of the community security watch corps were ambushed and killed by the bandits was to see for himself and for the ministry to evaluate and make assessment of what happened."

The Commissioner stressed that this assessment "was to adopt further strategies to protect the lives and property of members of the communities."

Dr. Danmusa appealed to people in the state to support government with prayers and exercise patience as government is more committed in restoring peace in the state. 

On behalf of the Government, and the good people of Katsina, Governor Radda expressed condolences to the family of deceased C-Watch personnel, praying that God Almighty will accept their returns and grant the family and the State the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Governor Radda Advocates Unified Salary Structure for Medical Doctors

 K

atsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda has proposed a unified salary structure for medical doctors across Nigeria to mitigate the migration of healthcare professionals from state to federal health institutions.

The Governor made this call while hosting a high-powered delegation of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA)on 29th April 2025, led by its President, Professor Bala Muhammad Audu, at Government House, Katsina.

We need a unified salary structure for medical doctors in the country to reduce their movement to federal health institutions for higher salaries," Governor Radda stated.

The Governor urged medical practitioners to prioritize service over financial benefits, "Doctors should not look at the money but their services required to save humanity."

Pointing to his administration's commitment to healthcare development, Governor Radda explained the strategic purpose behind several initiatives, "Our foreign scholarship program targeted at qualified state indigenes who graduated from public schools was to allow access and opportunities to children from less privileged families to pursue medical courses."

Governor Radda also revealed the state government is equally establishing special schools, one each at the three senatorial zones, to also ensure access to quality education among the children of the poor.

Government's commitment in establishing the dialysis center and the imaging center, both at General Amadi Rimi Specialist Hospital, were intended to support patients with various ailments to have access to affordable medical attention," the Governor disclosed. 

Governor Radda further directed the state branch chairman of the NMA to formally document the requests presented by the national president for government consideration.

Professor Bala Muhammad Audu, NMA President, expressed appreciation for the Governor's giant strides in repositioning the health sector of the state.  

We are particularly happy with the effort in establishing dialysis and imaging centers for the benefit of patients in the state and other parts of the country," Professor Audu stated.

We also recognize the foresight of the state governor in upgrading up to seven comprehensive health centers to the status of general hospitals, with the intention to ensure the establishment of fully equipped health facilities at all the 361 electoral wards of the state," said NMA President. 

While commending the Governor for payment of residency training allowances, Professor Audu requested an upward review of the stipends.

The NMA President expressed gratitude for land allocated to the association under the Federal Mortgage Bank scheme but requested additional infrastructure support. 

Professor Audu also requested additional land allocation, stating, "We need more land as the association has an arrangement with the Federal Mortgage Bank to provide housing for medical doctors."

On the importance of local medica the NMA President urged the state administration to ensure full accreditation for the medical school at Umaru Musa Yar'adua University. Stating, "This would reduce the burden on the state government in sending medical students for overseas training."

Professor Audu concluded by extending condolences to the Governor over the recent loss of his mother, Hajiya Safara'u, praying for Allah's mercy and reward of Aljanna Firdausi.

Caption: UNICEF, Katsina Govt. Sign Multi-year Work Plan in Critical Areas to Ensure Brighter Future For Every Child

The Katsina State Government on Thursday signed a multi-year work plan aimed at ensuring a brighter future for every child in the State.

The three year work plan tagged: UNICEF-Katsina State Multi-year Work Plan for 2025-2027, covers the critical areas of health, nutrition, education, child protection, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), as well as social policy.

The signing of this work plan therefore demonstrates UNICEF's continuing collaboration and the strong partnership with the Katsina State Government.

In a remark during the ceremony held at the Katsina Government House, the Chief of UNICEF Field Office Kano, Mr. Rahama Rihood Mohammed Farah, explained that, the work plan which is a comprehensive framework that will guide collective efforts in these critical areas, is not just a document; but a testament to a shared vision for a brighter future for every child in Katsina state.

Mr. Farah, represented by Dr Sereke Seyoum Deres, the Health Manager, UNICEF Field Office Kano maintained that, the plan envisions ambitious targets and outcomes for which resources need to be mobilized adding that the Katsina State Government is expected to contribute its share as counterpart funding to achieve and sustain the planned results.

He, however, called on the Katsina State Government to consider increasing the allocation of domestic resources to the critical sectors of health, nutrition, education, WASH, child protection, and social protection.

By prioritizing investments in these sectors, according to him, the state can build resilient systems that are less dependent on external funding and more responsive to the needs of its people.

Dr Deres, while expressing concern about the rising cases of polio virus in Katsina State, which he described as a significant threat to children's health in the State, stressed that, eradicating polio must be given top priority in 2025 by ensuring that every corner of the State is reached so that parents are encouraged to vaccinate their children.

Your Excellency, while UNICEF’s commitment to our partnership is not in doubt, and the progress we have made together over the years is remarkable, however, we must also acknowledge the current realities of dwindling global donor funding and hence the significance of the government contribution.

"The economic challenges facing the world today have placed significant pressure on international resources, making it imperative for us to explore innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms to ensure the continuity and scalability of our programmes.

In this context, I would like to respectfully call on the Katsina State Government to consider increasing the allocation of domestic resources to the critical sectors of health, nutrition, education, WASH, child protection, and social protection. By prioritizing investments in these sectors, the state can build resilient systems that are less dependent on external funding and more responsive to the needs of its people.

"Thankfully, Katsina state under your leadership is already demonstrating the innovative approach through the Hadaka and MCH-Track in the health sectors.

These innovations will not only help to bridge the funding gaps occasioned by dwindling donor-supported interventions but put Katsina state in the driving seat of the state’s development imperatives.

Your Excellency, the children of Katsina State are the future of this great nation, and investing in their wellbeing is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic decision that will yield long-term dividends for the state’s development.

As we speak today, the polio virus remains a significant threat to children's health in Katsina State. Eradicating polio must be our top priority in 2025. We must dedicate all our efforts and resources to mobilizing communities, raising awareness, and ensuring that every corner of Katsina is reached so that parents are encouraged to vaccinate their children.

The Katsina government must take the lead at the ward, district, and local government levels to address vaccine refusals. It is essential to secure the full engagement of LGA chairpersons, community leaders, and religious leaders, holding them accountable for ensuring that every child in Katsina is vaccinated.

UNICEF urges the government to leverage its own resources, explore public-private partnerships, and strengthen community-based initiatives to ensure that no child is left behind.

To reduce the growing number of out of school children, the government should improve the provision of quality early learning and increase school readiness for primary school. Sustaining the practice will ensure children are enrolled at the right age and will transfer to all levels of education with less risk of drop out.

UNICEF remains committed to supporting the Government of Katsina State in this endeavour, particularly in getting the remaining 7 LGAs of the state to attain Open Defecation Free (ODF) status so that the state can be declared an ODF state this year, only the second in the country.

We will continue to provide technical assistance, mobilize resources where possible, and advocate for the rights of every child.

However, the sustainability of our efforts will depend on the state’s ability to take ownership of these programmes and ensure their continuity through increased domestic funding.

UNICEF requests the Katsina state government to prioritize child sensitive social protection interventions to combat multiple deprivations amongst Children in rural and urban areas.

This requires a launching and dissemination of approved State Development Plan (SDP) as well as social protection policy with the establishment of a strong legislative framework for social protection. Key priorities should be placed in designing a robust multisectoral universal child grant that will enhance inclusion and coverage.

In addition, increasing effective investment in basic social sectors for children through increase in budgetary allocation and spending will lead to better outcomes for the wellbeing of children in Katsina State.

Today, we sign this Workplan with a shared sense of purpose and determination to leave no child behind.

"In closing, I would like to reiterate UNICEF’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Government of Katsina State in realizing the rights of every child", he stated.

In his response, the Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Radda restated commitment of his administration to continue working closely with the UNICEF, development partners and other stakeholders, to ensure successful implementation of the shared goals and commitment.

According to him, his administration has been making frantic efforts in the areas of education, health, and nutrition among other sectors, stating that, his administration has as well prioritized investment in education aiming to increase access to quality learning opportunities for all.

In trying to reduce the out of school children, the government has invested over 120 Billion in education. We constructed over 160 schools and classrooms, 81 boreholes and 46 toilets as well as rehabilitating over 500 classrooms among other intervention.

We have upgraded and renovated 158 Primary Healthcare Centers facilities with provision of medical equipment, water supply, modern latrines, solar lightening, staff quarters and tricycle ambulance across the State. We have approved additional 102 PHC facilities for rehabilitation for the year 2023.

In immunization efforts, we have distributed 361 motorcycles for routine immunization in collaboration with GAVI and UNICEF demonstrating our resolve to ensure vaccines reach every corner of the State and we focus our attention more on polio eradication in this year.

In nutrition and public health, we have commenced over 500 million in counterpart funding with UNICEF for the management of acute malnutrition", he explained. 

It could be recalled that, a month ago, the UNICEF team was in Katsina State to officially hand over the GAVI/UNICEF Health MOU,

funded by GAVI and implemented in collaboration with the Katsina StateGovernment.

This partnership was said to have delivered remarkable results, particularly in enhancing immunization outcomes.
