Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has lauded the residents of Southern Kaduna for fostering peace in the region, which he described as a critical enabler of development.

He highlighted the significance of cultural heritage in shaping societal values and fostering progress.

“Our cultural heritage is the foundation upon which we build our progress, and it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations,” he said.

The governor outlined several transformative initiatives implemented by the administration past 18 months in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, education, youth empowerment, and healthcare.

Sani said one of his major healthcare initiative, was the planned upgrade of Sir Patrick Yakowa General Hospital in Kafanchan to a Federal Medical Centre.

“This upgrade aims to improve healthcare accessibility, strengthen tertiary healthcare delivery, and provide opportunities for advanced medical training and research.

“This facility will cater to the diverse population across several Local Government Areas and neighbouring states, including Plateau, Niger, and the Federal Capital Territory,” the governor explained.
