Katsina Activates Startup Law, Inaugurates Digital Innovation Council to Boost Jobs, Investment
By Our Correspondent
The Katsina State Government has taken a major step towards building a technology-driven economy with the inauguration of the Katsina State Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship, marking the official implementation of the state’s Startup Law.
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, represented by his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abdulkadir Nasir Mamman, described the inauguration as the beginning of translating the Startup Law into practical economic opportunities for young people, entrepreneurs and investors.
“I convey the warm regards of Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, whose vision for a technology-driven and knowledge-based economy has made today’s gathering possible,” he said.
According to the governor, the establishment of the Council demonstrates his administration’s conviction that innovation has become central to sustainable development.
“The Startup Law has provided the legal framework, and the task before this Council is to make it deliver value,” he stated.
Governor Radda urged members to view the Council as the state’s highest strategic body for digital innovation rather than just another committee.
“Our responsibility is to provide direction, shape policy, remove barriers, build partnerships and ensure that innovation becomes a driver of economic growth across our State,” he said.
He explained that the Startup Law is fundamentally an economic development initiative designed to create employment opportunities for young people, attract investment to Katsina State and support entrepreneurs in transforming innovative ideas into thriving businesses.
“This will equally help in building companies that create value, generate employment and contribute to the prosperity of our State,” the governor added.
Governor Radda noted that the benefits of the initiative would extend beyond the technology sector to agriculture, healthcare, education, manufacturing and other critical areas of the economy.
He stressed that the Council’s success would be measured by tangible outcomes rather than meetings or policy resolutions.
“The real measure of our success will not be the number of meetings we hold or resolutions we pass. It will be whether more young people find meaningful opportunities; whether more startups survive and grow; whether more investors choose Katsina; whether our universities become centres of innovation; and whether technology begins to solve everyday challenges for our citizens,” he said.
