A fire broke out at the Katsina Government House early Monday morning, September 2, causing significant damage to the governor’s chamber and parts of his office. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, and investigations are underway to determine what triggered the incident. The blaze comes just four months after the governor’s office had undergone an expensive refurbishment, adding to the concerns about the extent of the damage.
At the time of the fire, Governor Dikko Umar Radda was away in Funtua for a scheduled tour to assess his administration’s progress. His absence during the incident has sparked questions about the effectiveness of the response and the subsequent recovery efforts.
The fire has raised worries about potential delays in government operations due to the damage to the recently renovated areas. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on understanding the cause and ensuring swift recovery.
