Kaduna State Deputy Governor Hadiza Balarabe credited the administration’s policies under Governor Uba Sani with building trust in governance. She highlighted the government’s investment in peace‑building initiatives, such as the Kaduna State Peace Commission, which mediates conflicts and promotes reconciliation across communities. According to Balarabe, these efforts have strengthened public confidence and contributed to a more secure and hopeful future.
Balarabe made these remarks during a courtesy call by a delegation from the Joint Initiative for Strategic Religious Action (JISRA), led by Country Coordinator MJude Likita, at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House. She commended JISRA for its work in promoting peace, interfaith dialogue, and freedom of religion, noting that its activities align with the state’s vision of a peaceful, just, and prosperous Kaduna. The deputy governor praised JISRA’s programs for advancing justice, inclusion, and respect for human dignity, helping to nurture societies where differences are seen as strengths rather than weaknesses.
Describing JISRA as a true partner in peace‑building, Balarabe cited the organization’s efforts to bridge divides, empower women and youth, and foster interfaith cooperation. She noted that JISRA’s activities complement the state’s own programs and affirmed the administration’s commitment to continued support and collaboration. Together, they aim to consolidate gains and ensure that peace, justice, and inclusion become permanent features of the state.
Under Governor Uba Sani’s leadership, the administration remains dedicated to promoting justice, protecting citizens’ rights, and fostering inclusion as the foundation for peace and stability. Balarabe said these values are already yielding results, with the state experiencing relative calm, progress, and renewed confidence. The government has established mechanisms for citizen engagement, including the Kaduna Elders Forum, which brings together respected religious leaders, traditional authorities, and statesmen to advise and interface with the government. The Bureau of Interfaith Affairs also works consistently with religious bodies to deepen trust, dialogue, and harmony among faith communities.
The collaboration between the Kaduna State government and JISRA is expected to continue, focusing on consolidating gains and promoting peace, justice, and inclusion. With the administration’s commitment to recognizing and respecting citizens’ voices, faith leaders, and diverse groups, Kaduna State is poised to make significant progress in building a more secure and hopeful future.
