Persons familiar with the antecedents of Senator Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna State, readily attest to the fact that he is hardly ever deterred by challenges or adversities, no matter how daunting. Stories abound of his daring exploits as a young civil and human rights activist when successive military juntas held sway in Nigeria.
Working very closely and relentlessly with the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the National Security Adviser and the leadership of the nation’s Armed Forces, the Police and other security agencies, Governor Sani, very early in his administration, began deepening peace, safety and security across Kaduna State.
“I have no doubt in my mind that the efforts we are making with relevant security agencies and Mr. President are yielding good results that will become apparent to all very soon. Mr. President has been doing everything possible to ensure that our children return back home safely. I can say it here that Mr. President is determined. I discuss with him on a daily basis. In fact, sometimes the president calls me two to three times in a day to monitor situations here.
“The Nigerian Army also deserves special commendation for showing that with courage, determination and commitment, criminal elements can be degraded and security restored in our communities. We also thank all Nigerians who prayed fervently for the safe return of the school children. This is, indeed, a day of joy. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.”
“Through kinetic and non-kinetic efforts that were deployed under the guidance of His Excellency, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, GCFR, through the Office of NSA, the school children were rescued in Dansadau forest in Zamfara State. The 137 children were released and of this number six of them are in the hospital. But unfortunately, the teacher died in captivity.
Idris confirmed that the number of schoolchildren kidnapped was the exact number rescued as there was no information to the effect that any of them died or was held back by the kidnappers. “The broad-based and inclusive cunderscores our determination to ensure transparency and fairness in the palliatives’ distribution process. It is also a key step towards the effective monitoring of the distribution exercise to check diversion of palliatives meant for the people.
“As I am speaking to you now, 9,800 poor and vulnerable households, including over 1000 persons with disability have started receiving alerts. They are receiving N50,000 each,” he said.
