With great delight, pleasure and excitement, I write to congratulate you on this marathon achievement of being elected Governor of Katsina State in the recently concluded election. Your success is a sign that Katsina state is on the verge of becoming a greater state again. I pray you to achieve your plans for Katsina state in sha Allah.
I write to inform or remind you about the current or sorry state of my dear town, Maska, which I believe is part of your plans to restore the good image of rural areas and carry them all along in your administration, which you stated in your blueprint that they could also contribute to the development of our dear State.
With a population of over 50,000, Maska is left behind by previous administrations/governments because they’re not informed about the abundant natural resources. It has, which can if carefully managed, generated a handsome amount of revenue for the state.
I Would not hesitate to remind you about the dirty Condition of our (Maska Community Comprehensive Hospital) which was built a long time ago by a patriotic citizen to save the town and its environs from the suffering they experience in an attempt to carry their patients to the local Government near them for treatment. It’s in a dirty condition as inadequate or lacking infrastructural development to treat patients. Female and male wards are left shattered that even animals will suffer to live therein. Toilets and maternity wards where our parents ( Pregnant women ) are received is also a thing to cry out for. I hope his excellency will consider us on this too.
Our local market (Maska Monday Market) is undoubtedly a hub of the economy, where millions of transactions are carried out every Monday. Thus, reconstructing it by providing or building newly constructed shops or stores will ensure much attendance, especially in the rainy season. This will also encourage investors or businessmen from and around the town to participate actively and hugely contribute to the economy of my dear state and the country at large.
I will not forget to remind you again about the Dam in my town which, if also given a concern, will save several unemployed youths from roaming the street. Moreover, reconstructing it will also create jobs for the teeming populace as it will be used to enhance dry season farming, popularly known as (Noman Rani) and encourage fishing farming which is also a means of generating income for the state.
Security issues of the state are among the top priorities you highly placed in your blueprint, and we firmly believe they will be drastically eradicated quickly.
Finally, your excellency, we hope and pray that this letter will reach you in good and sound health. We also pray that your administration will be smoothly carried out.
