In brief chat with newsmen on arrival, Governor Radda described the leadership retreat organised by the Nigeria Governors Forum in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme as a means of deepening governance across states in the country.
He said the retreat was dedicated to fostering dialogue on reimagining leadership and leveraging innovative technology, drawing inspiration from Rwanda’s transformative journey.
“We actually learnt a lot in Kigali, remember the theme was ‘Reimagining leadership in a fast-changing world’.
” We engaged in sessions that explored Rwanda’s successful investment destination, transformation in digital technology, urban planning, and socio-economic transformation”.
“I will try my best to replicate in Katsina state what I learnt in Kigali”. But overall it was interesting and educative he said.
