Gov Sani Restores Kaduna Christian Pilgrimage After 11 Years

Christian faithful in Kaduna State have commended Governor Uba Sani for restoring the state-sponsored Christian Pilgrimage Programme after an eleven-year suspension, describing the move as a strong statement of fairness, equity, and inclusive governance.

The commendation came during the 2025 orientation programme for 50 intending Christian pilgrims sponsored by the Kaduna State Government.

The event marks the first state-backed Christian pilgrimage in over a decade, following its discontinuation by previous administrations.

Participants expressed gratitude to the Governor for reviving the initiative, noting that the decision has rekindled hope within Christian communities and strengthened their sense of belonging in the state.

Kaduna State Head of Service, Mrs Jimami C. Bako, praised Governor Sani for reintroducing the programme, emphasising that the administration recognises spiritual growth and moral values as important complements to physical infrastructure and economic development. She described the revival as a reflection of leadership that values faith as a foundation for peace and social harmony.

The state Commissioner of Information, Ahmed Maiyaki, stated that the initiative aligns with Governor Uba Sani’s administration’s commitment to justice, equity, and inclusiveness for all residents, regardless of religious affiliation.

Maiyaki urged the intending pilgrims to use the opportunity to pray for peace, unity, and sustained prosperity in Kaduna State and Nigeria.
