The governor of Katsina State, Dikko Radda, has designated Friday, June 27, 2025, as a workday to observe the new Islamic Year 1447AH.

Civil servants and residents can observe the holiday in order to reflect on its spiritual significance and to observe it together.

Governor Radda congratulated all Muslims in the state and across the nation on the occasion of the new Islamic Calendar, according to Abdullahi Faskari, the state government’s secretary on Thursday.

The governor also urged Katsina State’s citizens to continue to coexist peacefully and harmoniously.

Without peace and stability, he argued, there couldn’t be any meaningful development.

The governor of Katsina also reiterated his call for farmers and those receiving government agricultural assistance to use judiciously the fertilizers, tractors, and other farming implements that were given out to improve food security as it continues to rain.

Therefore, he urged farmers to stop encroaching on all grazing areas, forests, and cattle routes.

Radda prayed for Katsina State’s and Nigeria’s general peace, unity, and prosperity.
