Restoring Hope and Rebuilding Communities
Yesterday, I had the honor of commissioning 152 mass housing units and several strategic development projects in Jibia Local Government Area as part of our commitment to restoring hope, rebuilding communities, and strengthening resilience in areas affected by insecurity.
Beyond the housing units, we also commissioned the Climate Peace Hub and Entrepreneurship Centre, solar mini-grid electrification for Daddara Community, market infrastructure, agricultural support programmes, enterprise grants, and other critical projects aimed at improving livelihoods and promoting sustainable peace.
These interventions are the result of strong collaboration between the Katsina State Government, UNDP, the German Government through GIZ, the Norwegian Government, and other development partners. Together, we are demonstrating that lasting peace is achieved through a combination of security, economic empowerment, and community development.
I am encouraged by the significant improvement in the security situation in Jibia, which has enabled residents to return to farming, business activities, and other productive pursuits. Our administration remains committed to expanding similar interventions to other communities across the state.
I congratulate all beneficiaries and thank our development partners, security agencies, traditional institutions, and community leaders for their support.
