I was honoured to host the global leadership delegation of the Gates Foundation to a gala dinner in Kaduna, led by the President of the Africa and India Office and Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Ankur Vora. Their visit reflects the depth of our enduring partnership and offered an invaluable opportunity to review the progress we have made in strengthening primary healthcare, advancing locally driven research, and building robust data systems that support evidence-based governance.
Our discussions provided a platform to assess ongoing initiatives, exchange insights, and deepen our shared commitment to delivering measurable and lasting outcomes for the people of Kaduna State. I was particularly encouraged by Mr. Vora's observation that Kaduna has consistently emerged as the Foundation's foremost subnational partner in deliberations at its global headquarters. That recognition affirms our administration's unwavering commitment to investing in the pillars of sustainable development—healthcare, education, agriculture, and human capital.
I expressed my profound appreciation to the Gates Foundation for choosing Kaduna as the first destination of its global leadership team's visit to Nigeria. It is a powerful vote of confidence in our reform agenda and the transformative partnerships we have cultivated. We remain steadfast in our resolve to deepen this collaboration as we work together to improve lives, expand opportunity, and accelerate inclusive and sustainable development across Kaduna State.

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 Kaduna–Mando–Birnin 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.
