Chairman of Katsina Pilgrims Welfare Board Resigns

Alhaji Kabir Bature Sarkin Alhazai has resigned from his position as Chairman of the Pilgrims Welfare Board, becoming the third appointee to leave the administration of Governor Dikko Umar Radda in a short period. Sarkin Alhazai communicated his resignation through a formal letter to the Secretary to the Katsina State Government, offering no explanation for his decision.

He was appointed to the board in 2023 and reflected positively on his tenure, thanking Governor Radda for the opportunity and acknowledging the support he received from various stakeholders, including the Secretary to the State Government and members of the State Executive Council. His resignation follows that of two other political appointees, although no details were provided regarding those departures or any connection between them.
