Officials from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) headquarters of the United Nations (UN) Abuja have paid a courtesy visit to the Kanwan Katsina District Head of Ketare, Alhaji Usman Bello Kankara mni, in his palace.
The courtesy visit was not unconnected with the need to discuss the problems and challenges of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kanwan Katsina’s domain as a result of activities of bandits and other insurgents.
The UNDP delegates were led to the palace by senior officials from the Katsina State Government. The Team Leader of the UNDP delegation, Mr. Adewale addressed the traditional ruler and his council members who received them.
The important visit set the tone for the UN body’s program for Katsina State. The UNDP is planning some interventionist program for the IDPs in the state.
It is expected that the world body will bring some assistance to the displaced persons in Katsina State.
