The Katsina State Government has deepened its recovery programme for displaced families after Governor Dikko Radda formally commissioned 152 permanent housing units for internally displaced persons in Jibia Local Government Area. Delivered with support from the United Nations Development Programme and funding from the German Government, the new settlement gives vulnerable households safer shelter, restored dignity, and a clearer pathway back into community life after years of insecurity.
The Jibia resettlement package goes beyond housing by adding an independent solar mini-grid, a veterinary clinic, and a Climate Peace Hub to support peaceful use of land, water, and livestock resources. Through the same intervention, beneficiaries are being linked to livestock support, small business micro-grants, and community services that can help revive border trade, food production, and rural livelihoods in a highly exposed frontier area with real economic value.
Governor Radda directed the Ministry of Rural and Social Development to ensure that verified beneficiaries receive the assets without delay or diversion. The state’s approach combines permanent shelter, livelihood support, and local security coordination, reflecting a wider effort to prevent displaced households from slipping back into crisis while rebuilding trust, trade, and peaceful coexistence across Katsina’s border communities after prolonged instability.
