The Ag. Chairman Of the Association or Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Katsina State and Chairman of Danja Local Government Area, Hon. Rabo Tambaya Danja, has commended Governor Dikko Umaru Radda's administration for ensuring complete financial autonomy for local governments in the state.
Speaking to newsmen in Katsina yesterday, Hon. Danja emphasized that unlike some states where local government chairmen complain about gubernatorial interference with their funds, Katsina State maintains a transparent and autonomous system for local government administration.
"The State Government under the able leadership or Governor Dikko Umaru Radda ensures that local governments receive their due allocations without interference," Danja stated. He noted that this autonomy extends beyond mere fund disbursement to include independent decision-making in project execution.
The ALGON Chairman commended the state's innovative Community Development Program, describing it as a testament to the government's commitment to grassroots development. "This initiative brings people on board to participate in decisions affecting their communities," he explained.
The program allocates funds directly to local communities for essential projects in water supply, electricity, road construction and other areas of human development."
Looking ahead to 2025, Hon. Danja expressed optimism about the state's economic prospects, citing improvements in GDP as a key indicator of development.
He called for continued citizen cooperation with government initiatives at all levels to sustain this positive trajectory.
"The year 2025 will be promising as we're witnessing significant improvements in our local economy," Danja projected.
He also commended the Federal Government for doing its best by initiating several programs and policies. "In my local government, I am aware of ongoing Conditional Cash Transfer and other categories of support to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal," Danja concluded.
