Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna State, ordered recently constructed homes for banditry victims as part of the Qatar Sanabil Project, a collaboration between the state government and Qatar Charity, on Monday.

The project, which also includes a shopping complex, a clinic, and a school, aims to restore dignity and restore families’ years of insecurity in the state.

Governor Sani referred to the initiative as one of his administration’s most significant decisions during the handover ceremony.

He asserted that “it’s not just about building unveiling.” A covenant was fulfilled in the solemn act of healing. Every widow, orphan, and displaced soul is being told that they are not forgotten. You deserve it. You are at home.

The governor described the homes as “a bold gesture of solidarity” for families who lost loved ones to banditry. They are a part of a larger rehabilitation plan. He emphasized that the homes are symbolic of resurrected dignity and hope as well as physical shelters.

More than just housing, he said, “Every brick laid and every key handed over represents the rebirth of communities that have been shattered by violence.”

Governor Sani acknowledged that banditry left behind a lot of destruction for communities, schools, and dreams. He did, however, stress that lasting recovery must include rebuilding people’s lives and livelihoods in addition to military operations and peace models.

He said that “restoration must follow security.” Because “peace without dignity is incomplete, safety without healing is hollow.”

In addition to receiving empowerment tools like tricycles, grinding tools, salon kits, and welding equipment as part of Phase 1 of the Qatar Sanabil Project, affected families also received financial aid to help them regain economic independence.

Governor Sani made the observation that “we’re building futures rather than just giving out homes.” True empowerment refers to helping people walk on their own merit and purpose.

Additionally, the governor established a new school to provide free education to the children of the affected families, established a clinic to assist their medical needs, and established a skills-acquisition center for both young and old.

He thanked Qatar Charity for its “extraordinary commitment to global solidarity” and thanked Qatar’s Country Director Sheikh Hamdi Abdu and Qatari Ambassador to Nigeria, H. E. Ali Bin Ghanem Al-Hajri, for their hard work.

Governor Sani thanked President Bola Tinubu, Nuhu Ribadu, the defense minister, and Mohammed Badaru Abubakar for their contributions to stabilizing the security situation in Kaduna.

He assured residents that this was just the start of the project, which would soon add more homes, schools, clinics, and boreholes to the area’s affected areas.

Governor Sani remarked to the resilient families who are currently receiving homes: “You are not defined by your loss but by your strength.” You are the only ones who survive. Our heroes are you.

General Christopher Musa, the chief of the defense staff, praised the state governor for his efforts to restore and stabilize the state.

He praised the Qatar Charity for its efforts to assist the government in providing support to the victims and assured the government of the support of the armed forces.
