Governor Uba Sani has been commended by both Christian and Muslim clerics for keeping the promises he made to families affected by insecurity in Kaduna State.
The commendation came from the Archbishop of Kaduna Province, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Most Reverend Timothy Yahaya, and the Northern Coordinator of the Global Peace Foundation, Sheikh Haliru Maraya, after the governor handed over houses to Mrs Sarah Achi and Malam Usman Aliyu.
The beneficiaries lost their spouses in separate tragic incidents. Edwin Achi, an Anglican Venerable priest was killed after being abducted, while Malama Ummulkhairi Aliyu, an Islamic teacher, was lynched by a mob in Maraban Jos in June.
Following the incidents, Governor Uba Sani visited the bereaved families and pledged to provide each with a house. He also promised to sponsor the education and welfare of Ummulkhairi’s four children.
The governor fulfilled the promises on Monday when the title documents for the houses were presented to Mrs Achi and Malam Usman during a brief ceremony at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.
