Governor Dikko Radda has rewarded the two best graduating students of the Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management with brand-new vehicles.

The presentation ceremony was held on Monday at the Government House, Katsina.

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, with a CGPA of 4.75.

The two emerged as the institution’s overall best graduating students. The gesture fulfilled a promise Radda made during the institution’s convocation on April 28, when he pledged vehicles and permanent, pensionable employment for the best graduates.

Congratulating the recipients, the governor urged them to remain committed to the development of the state and the country.

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

Radda encouraged the graduates to work harder to advance their careers and inspire younger generations to follow their example.

He described the reward as part of his administration’s commitment to promoting hard work and academic excellence among students in the state.

“This is a promise fulfilled, and we thank Almighty God for granting us the opportunity to do so.

“We also appreciate the parents for their guidance and support, as well as the institute for providing quality training and education,” he said.
