The National Coordinator of the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES) Programme, Dr. Abdulkarim Obaje, has commended the Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, PhD, CON, for his strong commitment to the successful implementation of NG-CARES 2.0 in the state.
Dr. Obaje gave the commendation following the Katsina State Government’s provision of additional operational vehicles to the State CARES Coordinating Unit (SCCU) and its Delivery Platforms, describing the move as a clear demonstration of the governor’s dedication to effective service delivery and smooth programme operations.
According to him, the timely logistical support reflects the state government’s proactive approach and readiness to commence the next phase of the programme.
“This strategic support by His Excellency, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, underscores Katsina State’s strong ownership of the NG-CARES programme.
The provision of operational vehicles will significantly enhance coordination, field supervision, and timely delivery of interventions to beneficiaries,” Dr. Obaje said.
He further assured that the Federal CARES Support Unit (FCSU) remains committed to working closely with Katsina State and other participating states to ensure the successful achievement of the objectives of NG-CARES 2.0.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Katsina State CARES Coordinating Unit, Nafiu Muhammad, expressed the state’s readiness to commence full implementation of the programme.
In a brief WhatsApp message to the FCSU, he stated: “We are ready.”
NG-CARES is a World Bank–supported programme designed to mitigate the impact of economic shocks and strengthen community resilience through targeted interventions across participating states.
