He said: "This is a call for you to serve our dear State patriotically. Let us all work collectively together towards rebuilding Katsina, and restoring its cherished glories.

"On a personal note, I am charging Alh. Malik Anas to share his wealth of experience with the new Accountant General, so that he can consolidate on your unrivalled achievements, while in office.

"As for Comrade Tanimu Saulawa, your antecedents as a courageous labour activist cannot be disputed. And that absolutely, was the reason Governor Masari appointed you, as one of his advisers, to assist his administration deliver on its promises to Katsina people.

"I have just one thing to say about Alh. Umar Mammada. And that is, he is an epitome of honesty and transparency. His passion for the progress of our beloved Katsina is indescribable. He does not fail to deliver any assignment you entrust him to carry out".
