He stressed the importance of national unity in supporting security agencies against various forms of criminality, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
Within Kaduna State, he assured the populace of his administration’s unwavering commitment to securing the region and restoring trust in communities through justice, equity, and fairness, particularly for the disadvantaged. To this end, he established the Financial Inclusion and Literacy Committee, aimed at ensuring that marginalized populations in rural areas benefit from government social intervention programs.
Governor Sani outlined a pivotal focus on rural transformation, aiming to revitalize rural economies through extensive infrastructure development. He expressed a determination to ensure that every citizen of Kaduna State feels the government’s positive impact, emphasizing a vision to restore Kaduna State as a unifying hub for Nigeria’s diverse nationalities.
