Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, has assured the people of Southern Kaduna that his administration would listen to their yearnings and treat them fairly. The governor said he has zero tolerance for discrimination in any form.
Governor Sani also said he is committed to pursuing the welfare and security of all the people of the state. He gave the assurance in Kafanchan at the closing ceremony of the three-day maiden Southern Kaduna Festival, charging the people to share thoughts on developmental challenges facing the people and make further and better recommendations to the government for intervention.
He said, “Ours is a listening and people-oriented administration. Your welfare and security are our top priorities. We have zero tolerance for discrimination, we shall take development to all nooks and crannies of the state. With your support and cooperation, we shall make Kaduna State a model for development and peaceful coexistence in Nigeria.”
He said the festival was an opportunity for the people of the state to connect with their roots and forge friendship and unite the people through shared experience, music, food and dance, saying that by doing so, the people of the state will foster a sense of community.
Governor Sani added: “Our diversity is a source of strength and we must harness it to develop our local economies. We are one people and must never allow conflict entrepreneurs to retard our progress and development.”
On his part, Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa state, who was present, said: “There is strength in our diversity.
We should encourage those things that bind us together rather than those things that divide us.”
