The Katsina State Government has begun rolling out fiber optic services to residents, aiming to improve internet access and support digital development. The initiative, led by Francis Sardauna, focuses on delivering high-speed, reliable connectivity to enhance communication and economic opportunities.
The project is part of broader efforts to modernize infrastructure and align with national goals for digital transformation. While the rollout is still in progress, officials emphasize its potential to bridge the digital divide and foster innovation.
Separately, the state has also approved new equipment for its Advanced Imaging and Cancer Centre, aiming to improve healthcare services and reduce medical tourism. These two developments highlight Katsina’s growing focus on both technological and health sector advancements.
Officials stress that the fiber optic expansion will be phased gradually, with priority given to urban and educational hubs. The move is expected to support local businesses and attract investment in the coming months.
