This selfless act teaches us that true progress requires sacrifice and a willingness to put the needs of others before ours. In that same spirit, our administration remains committed to service above self, ensuring that every policy, project, and program is designed with the welfare of the citizens as the primary objective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis season calls us to embrace the core Christian values of love, sacrifice, and forgiveness. As we draw inspiration from these ideals, let us work hand in hand to build a more harmonious, peaceful, and inclusive society. Kaduna State is a state with diverse cultures and faiths. In tandem with this, our administration runs an all\u2010inclusive Government that does not discriminate on the basis of ethnic or religious background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the highlands of Zangon Kataf to the plains of Birnin Gwari, from Kaduna metropolis to the boundaries of Jema\u2019a, our commitment is unwavering. We are committed to ensuring that every community gets its share of infrastructure upgrades, health clinics, schools, and economic opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs your governor, I will not relent in driving the transformation of our rural areas, upgrading urban infrastructure, especially in neighbourhoods where the urban poor reside, strengthening security, revitalizing the economy, and investing in human capital. Our youth and women empowerment initiatives are designed to lift everyone, regardless of ethnicity or creed, because our vision is clear about a Kaduna State where all communities live and thrive together in harmony. This is not just a goal; it is an article of faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn your Easter prayers, please remember our administration and Kaduna State. Also remember our country and our dear President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. As the driver of the Renewed Hope Agenda, the President needs your understanding, support, and prayers as he navigates economic, social, and political challenges on the path to national renewal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay Almighty God strengthen him as he consolidates his bold and courageous economic reforms aimed at resetting Nigeria and putting it on the path to sustainable growth, development and shared prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the true spirit of Easter, which is associated with compassion and generosity, let us not forget those who are less fortunate, the vulnerable, the underserved, and the displaced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d I encourage faith\u2010based organizations, community leaders, and every citizen to join hands in acts of charity. Share a meal, offer counsel, and extend a helping hand. Together, we can ensure that no one in our cosmopolitan state feels left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we rejoice this Easter, let our unity be our anthem and our diversity our strength. May the blessings of peace, progress, and sustainable development abound in our dear State, Kaduna and our nation, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish you all a happy, blessed, and safe Easter celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
