Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has vowed that his administration will take concrete measures to punish those who promote conflict in the state.
The governor made the statement on Saturday in a meeting with the new executives of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna.
He urged religious leaders to actively advocate for peace and unity among their followers and appreciated the collaborative efforts of both the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and CAN towards the sustenance of peace and unity among themselves.
He assured his commitment to fulfilling the promises made during his election campaigns, stressing that Kaduna is important as a hub in northern Nigeria.
He said, “I am committed to supporting clerics by providing vehicles to reach all parts of the state effectively to spread messages of peace and unity.”
Rev Celeb Maaji, the new Kaduna CAN chairman, had earlier praised the governor for his achievements in less than one year, saying that the governor’s historic attendance at a Christmas carol event last year was the true example of a good leadership.
The CAN state chairman assured of the Christian community’s support for the governor’s administration and urged him to reintroduce Christian activities such as the pilgrims board and Bible quiz competition in the state.
