Gov. Radda Approves Automatic Jobs for Katsina First-Class Graduates, Clears Scholarship Backlog

Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has approved automatic employment for Katsina indigenes who graduate with first-class honours from universities nationwide.

The governor also announced that scholarship backlogs owed to Katsina students from 2021 to 2026 have been fully cleared.

The dual intervention targets two major challenges for graduates: job access and unpaid scholarships. Automatic employment is expected to retain top academic talent within the state, while clearing the backlog provides financial relief to students and families.

The policy reinforces the administration’s focus on education as a driver of human capital development in Katsina.
