Our administration remains unwavering in restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity to victims of violence through decent housing, quality education, healthcare, and economic empowerment. The support extended to Mrs. Sarah Achi, who lost her husband to banditry, Mal. Usman Aliyu, who lost his wife in the tragic incident of mob attack, and over 50 other beneficiaries of our housing initiative reflects this commitment.
Our goal is to put smiles back on the faces of those who have endured unimaginable pain while working tirelessly with security agencies and stakeholders to build a Kaduna that is safer, more peaceful, and more inclusive for all.

Today, I had the distinct honour of representing His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction of the 122-kilometre KadunaâMandoâBirnin Gwari Road, while also participating in my capacity as the Governor of Kaduna State. It was a defining moment that speaks to a shared national resolve to consolidate peace, expand opportunity and deliver enduring progress through purposeful leadership.
On behalf of Mr. President, I conveyed his unwavering commitment to the people of Kaduna State and his determination to improve their quality of life through strategic investments in infrastructure, security and inclusive economic development. I also expressed my profound appreciation to him for approving this transformational project and ensuring the timely release of the resources required for its successful execution.
For more than three decades, this vital corridor has awaited comprehensive reconstruction. Today, we begin far more than the rehabilitation of a road; we are restoring a strategic artery of commerce and connectivity that will reunite communities, unlock agricultural potential, facilitate trade, strengthen food security and reinforce national cohesion. This project affirms a fundamental truth: peace and development are mutually reinforcing. Sustainable security creates the conditions for investment and prosperity, while inclusive development strengthens the foundations of lasting peace.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Nweze Umahi, CON, and the Federal Ministry of Works for their steadfast commitment to this landmark undertaking. I also warmly welcome the contractors, J. Patel & Sons Nigeria Limited, and look forward to the delivery of infrastructure distinguished by quality, durability and excellence.
The goodwill expressed by our revered traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders was deeply encouraging. Their recognition of the tangible progress being made in strengthening security, fulfilling commitments and delivering critical infrastructure is both affirming and inspiring. It reinforces our resolve to remain steadfast in building a Kaduna State that is more peaceful, more connected, more economically vibrant and more prosperous for generations to come.
