The Non-Indigenes Association of Kaduna State has commended Governor Uba Sani for his inclusive style of governance and commitment to ensuring peace, security, and development across the state.

In a statement on Thursday in Kaduna, the association described the governor’s leadership as exemplary and people-oriented.

The statement was signed by Lazarus Ama, convener of the association; Niyi Folabi, co-convener; Johnny Nwankwere; and Mary Okon Nkwo, secretary and public relations officer, respectively.

The association said the governor’s administration had implemented pro-poor policies and infrastructural projects cutting across urban and rural communities.

“Since assuming office, Governor Uba Sani has continued to demonstrate that Kaduna State belongs to everyone who lives, works and contributes to its development, regardless of religion, ethnicity or state of origin,” the statement read.

According to the group, the governor’s deliberate policies have created an enabling environment where non-indigenes, both Christians and Muslims, feel accepted and integrated into the state’s social and economic life.

It commended the governor’s proactive approach to security, peacebuilding, and collaboration between security agencies and local communities, which it said had led to improved safety across the state.

The association also lauded Mr Sani’s administration for supporting vulnerable groups, creating jobs, and investing in education and health to benefit both indigenes and non-indigenes.

It said that the current atmosphere of peace, unity and religious harmony in Kaduna State reflected a remarkable transformation from its previously divided image.

“Christians and Muslims now live, work and interact freely without fear or suspicion. Interfaith collaborations and community engagements have deepened understanding and strengthened trust among residents,” it added.

The association reaffirmed its commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence and contributing to Kaduna’s growth as a model of unity in diversity.

It also urged religious, community and opinion leaders to continue supporting the administration’s efforts to sustain peace and development across the state.
