Governor Uba Sani has reiterated that his administration is ready to partner with individuals and organisations that share its passion for educational advancement.

The governor said that he believed ‘’that investing in young minds is one of the surest ways to secure lasting peace, prosperity, and development”.

Represented by the Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General of Kaduna State, Dr James Kanyip, he made the remarks at the commissioning of a facility established by the Christian Academy Management at the weekend.

‎He ‎ reminded that the commissioning celebrates hope, opportunity, and transformation, adding that it ‘’ represents a collective commitment to investing in the future of our children and strengthening the foundations of our society through education.’’

‎The governor maintained that ‘’education remains one of the most powerful tools for personal and human capital development and societal progress’’.

‘’Every classroom built creates opportunities for learning. Every child educated strengthens our communities. Every investment in education contributes to a more prosperous future for our state and nation,’’ he added.

The governor said that his administration ‘’places a premium on education because sustainable development begins with an educated and empowered population.’’

‘’Since assuming office, His Excellency has pursued policies and programmes aimed at improving educational infrastructure, expanding access to learning opportunities, and promoting quality education across Kaduna State.

‎’’Our goal is clear: to make education accessible, affordable, and equitable for every child. This vision continues to guide government interventions across the sector,’’ he added.

‎The governor said that the task of educating children cannot be left to the government alone.

‘’Meaningful progress requires collaboration among government, communities, faith-based organisations, and private institutions. This is why we greatly value initiatives such as this one,’’ he added.

‎According to him, the significance of the facility goes beyond Ungwan Bulus and Sabon Tasha communities because ‘’it will serve as a centre for learning, character formation, and leadership development’’.

The governor added that it ‘’ will help nurture young minds and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to become productive citizens and future leaders.’’

‎While commending the Christian Academy Management for its laudable contribution to the educational sector, the governor noted that the ‘’ investment demonstrates a clear understanding that education is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic investment in human capital development’’.
