Kaduna State has turned the page on its troubled past, emerging as a pillar of peace and development under Governor Uba Sani’s transformative leadership. In a year marked by historic milestones, the state achieved a feat many thought impossible: not a single violent conflict was recorded throughout 2024.

For a Northern State once synonymous with unrest, this remarkable transformation speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the Kaduna Peace Model. Reports from the Kaduna Peace Commission confirm that 2024 witnessed unprecedented peace, with bandits in conflict-prone areas laying down their arms and embracing dialogue. This is the first time in the state’s history that former perpetrators of violence have voluntarily chosen reconciliation over conflict—a testament to the power of Governor Sani’s inclusive governance and commitment to justice, equity, and security.

But peace is only half of Kaduna’s 2024 success story. In a bold demonstration of his administration’s developmental drive, Governor Sani commissioned 12 completed projects within 24 hours, underscoring his government’s resolve to deliver tangible benefits to the people. From modernized schools and state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to critical rural infrastructure, these projects are breathing new life into Kaduna’s economy and social fabric.

In agriculture, investments have empowered rural communities, while urban renewal projects have transformed Kaduna’s cities into thriving hubs of commerce. These milestones are not just infrastructure; they are lifelines for the state’s poor and underserved, reflecting Governor Sani’s pro-people, pro-poor approach.

As the state basks in its conflict-free year, Governor Uba Sani’s leadership is being hailed as a model for others. By fostering peace and driving development, Kaduna has become a symbol of hope and resilience. For the first time in decades, the people of Kaduna can dream of a future defined by progress, not strife—a legacy of leadership that will echo for generations to come.
