Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Radda, announces plans to recruit over 2,000 medical personnel and 2,000 teachers to strengthen healthcare and education services across the state. Mediaplusng.com reports that more than 1,000 medical staff will receive employment letters soon as part of the recruitment drive.
Speaking on Thursday during a staff verification exercise at his office, Governor Radda says the new hires will address critical shortages in hospitals, primary healthcare centres, and schools. Mediaplusng.com notes that the initiative is part of the administration’s broader agenda to improve public service delivery and create employment opportunities for qualified professionals and youths.
The Governor explains that the teacher recruitment targets vacancies arising from retirements, aiming to ensure that every child in Katsina has access to quality education. “This exercise will fill manpower gaps and strengthen our education sector,” he says, emphasizing transparency and fairness in the recruitment process.
Governor Radda urges verification and recruitment committees to act professionally and calls on residents to cooperate with government efforts. The Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Kaula, confirms that recruitment will commence in the coming weeks following completion of the verification process.
The initiative reflects Katsina State’s commitment to improving social infrastructure and enhancing citizen welfare through strategic investment in human resources. Well-staffed hospitals and schools, Governor Radda notes, are critical to the state’s long-term development.
Stakeholders and residents are encouraged to stay informed about application procedures and official announcements as the government moves forward with the large-scale recruitment exercise.
The move is seen as a proactive step to address service delivery gaps, reduce unemployment, and promote efficient governance across Katsina State.
