Katsina, June 20, 2024 (NAN) The Katsina Government has inaugurated a 12-member committee to review three books that highlighted the state’s investment opportunities.
Gov Dikko Radda, at the inauguration on Thursday in Katsina, said that the committee was mandated to review the three books.
Radda, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Abdullahi Garba-Faskari, said the committee would also examine the texts, images and overall presentation of the books.
He said the other terms of reference included evaluating the books accuracy, quality and relevance to Katsina in history, culture and tradition.
Others were to identify any error, inaccuracies or misleading information that might be contained in the books.
The governor further said the committee would provide constructive feedback and recommendations for improvement, and requested for additional information or clarification from the authors or publishers, if necessary.
He said the committee has two weeks to submit its reports.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the books are: Katsina Unveiled, Katsina ICONS and Katsina Traditions.
Responding on behalf of the committee, its Vice Chairman, Mr Muttaqa Rabe-Darma, thanked the government for finding them worthy of the job.
He said the books would sell Katsina to the outside world.
“They will help to attract people to come to the state and invest.
“As long as people realise that there are things they want in Katsina, they will come,” Rabe-Darma said.
He assured that the committee members would work tirelessly to justify the confidence reposed in them.
Prof. Sani Abubakar-Lugga would serve as Chairman, Commissioners for Information, Commerce and Trade, would serve as members, among others, while the Director, Press SSG’s Office, Mr Abdullahi Aliyu-Yar’adua, would serve as Secretary.
