Gov. Uba Sani Supports Religious Organisations With Vehicles To Promote Peaceful Coexistence
Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State has extended support to religious organisations in the state through the distribution of vehicles to strengthen their operations and promote peaceful coexistence among residents.
The Director-General of the Kaduna State Bureau of Interfaith, Malam Tahir Umar, disclosed this during the presentation of the vehicles to the beneficiary organisations in Kaduna.
Umar described Sani as a leader who values religious harmony and ensures equal opportunities for both Christian and Muslim organisations.
He said the governor's humanitarian gesture was extended to religious bodies to ensure their inclusion in the state's vehicle distribution programme.
According to him, Fityanul Islam had initially requested four vehicles to support its official activities and enlightenment campaigns ahead of peaceful elections.
He explained that the governor approved two vehicles for the organisation's national operations and another two for its state operations.
Umar added that Sani further extended the gesture to other religious organisations that had not formally requested vehicles.
He said Christian organisations, including the Boys Brigade and Cadets, were also considered under the initiative.
The Director-General disclosed that Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) were among the beneficiaries.
He added that an 18-seater Hummer bus was among the vehicles presented, while other selected organisations would receive theirs in due course.
Umar said the initiative demonstrated the governor's commitment to fairness, religious harmony and peaceful coexistence among the people of Kaduna State.
He noted that Islamic and Christian teachings both encouraged kindness, generosity and appreciation for good deeds.
Umar also expressed optimism that Sani's re-election would bring further development and benefits to the people of the state.
In his remarks, the Assistant Secretary of CAN in Kaduna State, Mr Emmanuel Zuwaku, commended the governor for his support for religious organisations.
Zuwaku described Sani as a compassionate leader who identified with the people and demonstrated genuine concern for their welfare.
He prayed for God's continued guidance, wisdom and success for the governor in the discharge of his responsibilities.
Similarly, the representative of JNI in Kaduna, Malam Balarabe Jigo, expressed appreciation for the support extended to religious and other organisations.
Jigo described the gesture as timely, noting that several organisations benefiting from the initiative operated under JNI.
He prayed for Allah's blessings upon the governor, asking that he be rewarded for his generosity and continued support for religious organisations.
Other beneficiaries also expressed appreciation, offering prayers for the governor and commending his commitment to supporting their activities.
The vehicles are expected to strengthen the organisations' administrative operations, religious outreach programmes and peace advocacy efforts across Kaduna State.
