The Governor, represented by his Chief of Staff, Sani Liman Kila, emphasised the state’s administration efforts in delivering basic services, focusing on health, education, and social protection. “Since the inception of our administration, we have impacted the lives of our citizens through the delivery of basic services with a focus on health, education, and social protection,” he said. “We have been supporting economic recovery through inclusive growth and development, financial inclusion and literacy for the poor and vulnerable, humanitarian response focusing on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and improving peace, safety, and security.

Governor Sani also promised to continue partnering with people-focused foundations like the Aliko Dangote Foundation. “We will continue to partner with people-focused foundations like Aliko Dangote Foundation to improve the living conditions of the poor and vulnerable in our state,” he said.
