Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, represented at the Abuja presentation by his Deputy, Malam Faruk Lawal Jobe, said the move aligns with the administration\u2019s reforms to professionalise governance, strengthen service delivery and embed a performance culture across ministries, departments and agencies.<\/p>\n

According to the Governor, Peterside\u2019s works offer \u201cpractical tools, not just theories,\u201d that resonate with Katsina\u2019s ongoing efforts in security management, infrastructure upgrades, education and health reforms, and climate-smart agriculture. \u201cIn Katsina, we have been deploying these principles\u2014anchoring every reform on data, partnerships with communities, and steady, measurable progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Governor noted that Beneath the Surface reflects the state\u2019s public service transformation drive, which focuses on aligning plans with budgets, outcomes with accountability, digitising critical systems, and institutionalising continuous learning.<\/p>\n

To translate insight into practice, he announced the procurement of 500 copies of Leading in a Storm for members of the Executive Council, Permanent Secretaries, Local Government Chairmen, heads of MDAs, and frontline managers. The books, he said, will be funded under the training and capacity-building vote, with integration into ongoing programmes such as guided reading circles, after-action reviews, and practical clinics tied to government priorities in security, health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Malam Jobe also highlighted Katsina\u2019s crisis-leadership posture, including scenario planning, early-warning networks, and joint operations with security agencies and communities, which he said have improved citizen safety. He pointed to rural road access, revitalised primary healthcare centres, teacher upskilling, and transparent input distribution in agriculture as evidence of reforms already delivering results.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the heart of our efforts is a simple ethic: turning small, disciplined actions into measurable improvements in daily life,\u201d the Governor stated, citing the example of a teacher who described a repaired classroom roof as \u201ca small thing with a big effect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Deputy Governor invited development partners, the private sector and civil society to support Katsina\u2019s capacity-building drive through mentorship, field experience and problem-solving labs.<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cDr. Peterside has given us a compass for rough weather and calm waters alike. May these ideas inspire us to govern with courage, humility and discipline\u2014so that our people, not our egos, are the beneficiaries. Together, we will continue to lead through the storm into a future of safety, opportunity and dignity for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
