Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has said Kaduna is now one of the most peaceful states in the country. The state has not recorded any ethnoreligious or communal clashes in the last two years.
The governor also stated that traditional leaders played a key role in the success of the non-kinetic approach to tackling insecurity in the State by sharing intelligence with security agencies.
Governor Sani spoke at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House on Sunday, where 23 vehicles were distributed to traditional leaders. He noted that his administration holds the royal fathers in high esteem.
“They have been working day and night, sharing intelligence with security agents and ensuring they are always close to our people at the community level. That is why our non-kinetic approach towards addressing insecurity is working.
“Without the support of our traditional leaders, we would not have achieved security and stability in Kaduna State. That is why we support and encourage you today,’’ he said.
Governor Sani commended House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas for facilitating the vehicle distribution and emphasised the need for synergy and collaboration among political officeholders.
The Governor recalled that he brought intervention worth over N20 billion in the Senate. He added that the Faculty of Engineering at Kaduna State University will be more than N12 billion when completed.
Speaking earlier, House Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas said that the distribution of vehicles is part of a broader collaboration with the Governor that aims to strengthen the role of traditional rulers in peacebuilding and governance.
