Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has returned to Nigeria after nearly two weeks of strategic working visits to Belarus, France, and South Africa. The tour featured a series of high-level meetings focused on strengthening security collaboration, expanding economic partnerships, and advancing Katsina State’s renewable energy and investment drive.

Governor Radda arrived on Sunday, 23 November 2025, at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano State, where he was warmly received by senior government officials, political leaders, and enthusiastic supporters.

He was welcomed by a delegation from Katsina State comprising, party stalwarts, top government officials, and members of his family before proceeding to Kano for onward movement to Katsina.

During his engagements in Minsk, the Governor held meetings with top government authorities and private sector leaders, securing cooperation in technology education, agriculture, defence collaboration, and youth-focused ICT training.

In Paris, he met with leading French energy companies and participated in strategic sessions aimed at revitalizing the Lambar Rimi Wind Farm and expanding hybrid renewable energy infrastructure across Katsina State.

Governor Radda also made a notable appearance at Ambition Africa 2025, where he further strengthened investor confidence and promoted clean energy opportunities available in Katsina.

The Governor later joined Vice President Kashim Shettima at the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, exploring global investment prospects in agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and digital innovation, while positioning Katsina as a rising hub for sustainable development.

The Governor is now set to resume full official engagements in Katsina, continuing his commitment to driving reforms, implementing key development projects, and accelerating progress across the state.
