In a statement marking the anniversary, the Katsina Central lawmaker applauded the foresight of General Ibrahim Babangida, who established Katsina State on September 23, 1987, and saluted the generations of leaders and everyday citizens who have upheld its values of hospitality, resilience, and community spirit.
“Our festivals, culture, and generosity have made Katsina the Home of Hospitality,” Yar’adua said. “But anniversaries are not only for remembrance—they are opportunities to renew our vision. Katsina must now be at the forefront of innovation, development, and unity.”
He encouraged residents to support Governor Dikko Umar Radda’s “Building Your Future” agenda, highlighting its focus on infrastructure, youth empowerment, agricultural transformation, and security. “The next chapter for Katsina depends on our collective effort. When we stand together, there is no challenge we cannot overcome,” he added.
