Newly sworn in Kaduna State governor Uba Sani, has promised to run an all-inclusive government while assuring to tackle the insecurity in the state headlong, even as he renewed the call for a state police.
Governor Sani said the prevailing security situation in the country and Kaduna State demands significant shift in the current structure, stressing that he would work with his colleagues and members of the National and State Assemblies to make state police a reality.
In his inaugural address after taking the oath of office and allegiance, he said he had always been in the forefront of advocacy for state police in the 9th Senate, adding that state police is the panacea to the country’s perennial security challenges, stressing that, “security is basically a local affair and it demands for a local approach.”
Uba Sani said his administration will consolidate and build on the unprecedented infrastructural upgrade, which was targeted at enhancing public welfare and accelerated economic growth.
“Going forward, we shall promote accelerated rural development by extending infrastructure to all local government areas with the goal of supporting our rural communities to achieve rapid economic growth.

There is no settler/indigene dichotomy in Kaduna State. We are all citizens of Kaduna State with equal rights, privileges and responsibilities. My government will be the government of all. Whether you voted for me or not, I have a responsibility towards you. I will be fair to all. I therefore urge you all to join me so that together we can take our dear state to a higher level.
“I am determined to run an administration that will not shy away from taking tough decisions for the greater good of our people. My administration shall undertake programmes and policies that will enhance productivity, encourage creativity and harness the rich diversity and cosmopolitan nature of this state. Our programmes and policies shall be people oriented. I shall run an all-inclusive government that shall leave no one or any part of Kaduna State behind,” he said.
Uba Sani added that, “Kaduna State has had its fair share of bloodletting and unnecessary destructions.

Similarly, we shall be assisting the activities of the police, the military, para-military and other security agencies in the state. We shall also engage traditional, religious institutions and community leaders to ensure effective intelligence gathering as well as working towards peaceful and harmonious coexistence within the various communities.”
