Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, today administered the Oath of Office to two Special Advisers, officially inducting them into the State Executive Council.
The ceremony, held at Government House, Katsina, was attended by friends, well-wishers, and prominent figures who came to witness the swearing-in of the distinguished appointees.
The newly appointed Special Advisers are:
Dr. Tasiu Dahiru Dandagoro, Special Adviser on Quranic Education and Out-of-School Children.
Alhaji Aminu Lawal Jibia, Special Adviser on Community Development.
In his address, Governor Radda described the appointees as seasoned and capable leaders, expressing confidence in their ability to deliver effectively in their respective roles.
Speaking on Dr. Dandagoro appointment, the Governor emphasized the critical role of Quranic education and the urgent need to address challenges faced by out-of-school children in Katsina State. He affirmed that Dr. Dandagoro’s knowledge, wisdom, and experience make him the ideal candidate to fulfill this mandate successfully.
Regarding Alhaji Aminu Lawal Jibia, Governor Radda highlighted his long-standing influence and standing within his community, noting that he is well-positioned to implement programs that will strengthen community development across the State.
Governor Radda congratulated both appointees and prayed to Almighty Allah to grant them wisdom, strength, and guidance in carrying out their duties.
He urged them to embrace their roles with dedication and fully align their efforts with the administration’s “Building Your Future” blueprint agenda, stressing that their contributions are vital to the social and economic growth of Katsina State.
He further encouraged the Special Advisers to design and implement innovative policies and programs aimed at improving the lives of citizens, particularly in the areas of education, children’s welfare, and community development.
The Governor reminded them that these appointments reflect not only their personal achievements but also the trust the people of Katsina have placed in his administration, as expressed through their votes.
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by Alhaji Abdulkadir Mamman Nasir, Chief of Staff, Government House; Alhaji Falalu Bawale, Head of the State Civil Service; and other members of the State Executive Council from across the State.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
