He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to education, stating, “The people of Kuriga have been peaceful, and as I promised, we are remodeling not only Kuriga Primary School but also about 600 other schools across the state.
Sani emphasised the success of the state’s Safe School Initiative, revealing that over 200 schools have been remodeled, rebuilt, and fenced to ensure a secure learning environment for students.
“Education is a top priority for our government because it is a great equalizer.

Sani expressed satisfaction with the improved security situation in Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area.
He praised the efforts of the security agencies and the cooperation of community members in achieving this level of peace.
“Last year, we faced numerous challenges, with daily kidnappings and banditry between Kaduna, Kuriga, and Birnin-Gwari.
”Today, I must commend the security agencies and the community members for their collaboration, which has brought peace to the area,” he said. (NAN)
