Vice-President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Katsina State for a one-day official visit, during which he will inaugurate some projects and flag off a women empowerment programme.
On arrival, the Vice-President was received by Governor Dikko Umaru Radda and subsequently inspected a quarter guard mounted by men of the Nigeria Air Force.
During the visit, the Vice-President will commission three major road projects executed by the Radda administration.
They include the dualised 4.80km Kofar Sauri – Central Mosque Roundabout Road, the dualised 2.40km Central Police Station Junction – Kofar Kaura Underpass Road, and the newly constructed 4km Filin Polo – Ring Road.
He will also launch 30 CNG hybrid buses and 200 electric tricycles to boost mass transportation in the state.
The Vice-President will thereafter receive new defectors to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and flag off the Community Investment Fund under the Nigeria for Women Programme Scale-Up (NFWP-SU), in a major push for women empowerment and financial inclusion in Katsina State.
