The Katsina State Investment Promotion Agency (KIPA) has organised a one day Public Private Partnership (PPP) appreciation workshop for members of the State Executive Council to strengthen policy level understanding and support for the state’s PPP framework.
The workshop, held at the Government House Chambers in Katsina, had the theme “Leveraging PPP for Sustainable Development.”
Speaking in his opening remarks, the Director General of the Katsina State Investment Promotion Agency, Alhaji Ibrahim Jikamshi, said the workshop was designed as a strategic bridge linking technical capacity within Ministries, Departments and Agencies to policy level leadership.
According to him, the appreciation session is expected to promote effective coordination, ensure shared understanding, and support informed decision making across the entire PPP management process.
Alhaji Jikamshi noted that KIPA remains fully committed to supporting the vision of the Radda administration to reposition Katsina State as a competitive and investor friendly destination, while safeguarding public interest and ensuring long term fiscal sustainability.
He also thanked Governor Dikko Radda for providing the agency with an enabling environment to effectively discharge its mandate.
