Radda Fulfils Promise, Rewards Outstanding Students with Cars, Jobs

Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has rewarded the two best graduating students of the Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management (KSITM) with brand new vehicles and employment opportunities, in a move aimed at promoting academic excellence and youth development in the state.

The presentation ceremony was held on Monday at the Government House, Katsina, where the governor fulfilled a promise he made during the institution’s convocation on April 28, 2026.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the beneficiaries are Ibrahim Mai Nasara-Bugaje of the Department of Networking and System Security, who graduated with a CGPA of 4.92, and A’isha Isiaku of the Department of Computer Software Engineering, who graduated with a CGPA of 4.75. Both emerged as the overall best graduating students of the institution.

The governor presented brand new vehicles to the outstanding graduates and also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to offering permanent and pensionable employment to top-performing students as part of efforts to encourage excellence in technical education and innovation.

Speaking at the event, Radda congratulated the recipients for their academic achievements and urged them to remain committed to the development of Katsina State and Nigeria at large.

“I congratulate you on reaching this important milestone. I pray that you will continue to be of benefit to the state,” the governor said.

He encouraged the graduates to continue working hard to build successful careers and serve as role models for younger students, stressing that education remains central to his administration’s human capital development agenda.

Radda described the gesture as part of his government’s broader strategy to reward hard work, discipline and outstanding academic performance among students in the state’s tertiary institutions.

“This is a promise fulfilled, and we thank Almighty God for granting us the opportunity to do so,” he said. “We also appreciate the parents for their guidance and support, as well as the institute for providing quality training and education.”

Earlier, the Katsina State Head of Service, Falalu Bawale, said the presentation aligned with the state government’s tradition of recognising and rewarding excellence, particularly among youths who distinguish themselves academically.

The development reflects the Radda administration’s increasing focus on education incentives, skills development, and youth empowerment, especially in science and technology-related fields aimed at boosting innovation and employability.
