He thanked the Foundation for its focus on women, noting that empowering women had a direct impact on family stability and community progress.
He encouraged the beneficiaries to make good use of the support to grow their businesses and improve their livelihoods.
The Governor also commended the Chairman of the Local Government for implementing impactful projects and delivering empowerment items that touched the lives of residents.
He noted that financial autonomy at the local government level was introduced to enable communities to benefit more from interventions such as the Community Development Project (CDP).
Earlier,Governor Radda paid a courtesy visit to District Heads of Charanchi, where he was received by the Sarkin Shanun Katsina, Alhaji Abashe Abdulkadir.
Also in attendance were the Sarkin Kurayen Katsina and the representative of the District Head of Radda, Gwagwaren Katsina.
The Governor was warmly received in an atmosphere of joy and unity, marking another major stop in his engagement across the 34 Local Government Areas of Katsina State.

He reminded the people that the government increased salaries of District Heads, Village Heads, and Ward Heads, and introduced allowances for Imams and Mu’azzins because of their important roles in society.

“There is no ward or polling unit in the state where we have not executed at least one project,” he concluded.
