In a significant step towards women’s empowerment, His Excellency, Governor Dikko Umar Radda, has approved the formulation of a state policy on women’s development, ensuring that 30% of intervention programs are allocated exclusively for women.
The policy, presented to the State Executive Council by the Honourable Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hajiya Hadiza Abubakar Yar’adua received full approval, reinforcing the Katsina State Government’s commitment to enhancing the socio-economic welfare of women across the state.
Through the Ministry of Women Affairs, this initiative will drive greater economic inclusion, skills development, and access to resources, ensuring that women have the support they need to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.
This is a commendable move by Governor Dikko Umar Radda and the Katsina State Government. Prioritizing women’s development through a dedicated policy is a step in the right direction. Allocating 30% of intervention programs exclusively for women shows a clear commitment to gender equality. Hajiya Hadiza Abubakar Yar’adua’s role in presenting this policy is noteworthy and inspiring. It’s crucial to ensure that these initiatives are implemented effectively and transparently. How will the government track the impact of these programs to ensure they truly benefit women across the state? I’d love to hear more about the specific skills and resources that will be provided.
