Governor Uba San of Kaduna has admonished residents of the state to look into the future with high hopes and aspirations.

Mr Sani, who stated this in his New Year message, noted that his administration would learn from setbacks, build on successes, and create a brighter future for residents of the state.

The governor said his administration worked tirelessly to address developmental and security challenges in 2024.

“In 2024, our administration worked tirelessly to address our developmental and security challenges.

“Thankfully, we have made significant progress in various areas. We are extending socio-economic infrastructure to the 23 local governments.

“We invested heavily in the education and health sectors. Our peace initiative has stabilised the security situation, boosted commerce, and revived social life.

“We have reopened the strategic Kara Livestock Market in Birnin Gwari and Kidandan Market in Giwa. Annual cultural festivals that were suspended for many years have resumed across the state.

“In metropolitan Kaduna, harmonious social life has returned. This hugely successful Kaduna Countdown 2025 is a testament to this progress.

“In 2025, we shall focus on building on our successes, learning from our setbacks, and working together to create a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our communities.

“Let us look to the future with hope and optimism. Let us work together to build a better tomorrow. Thank you, and Happy New Year!,” the governor said.
