Abuja: The MIDAS Touch Political Grassroot Mobilisation Movement has commended Kaduna State’s improved security and growing stability, saying that the efforts demonstrated Gov. Uba Sani’s dedication to security reforms. Alhaji Abdulwaheed Yunus, National Coordinator of the movement, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Yunus described the state’s improved security as evidence of effective commitment and strong community engagement. He highlighted that the progress reflects the governor’s commitment to restoring peace and security in the state. Yunus said, ‘This is a major achievement under Gov. Sani. The governor’s intervention quickly addressed insecurity that once affected several communities. Previously, there were some communities known for severe attacks and kidnappings; today, those areas have experienced significant improvement.’
Yunus pointed out that the state had transformed from a high-risk area into one of Nigeria’s most peaceful states, adding that movement across the state is now safe both day and night. He noted that the governor had received several awards as the most supportive state for restoring security. Recently, the Nigerian Commodity Leadership and Exporters Recognition Awards (NCLERA) awarded the governor for being the most supportive and effective in addressing business and security challenges. The national coordinator urged other authorities to emulate the governor’s efforts in restoring peace and stability in their states.
Dr. Abdullateef Hafees, Assistant National Coordinator of the movement, said that the award presented to the governor for supporting business and strengthening security was well deserved. Hafees emphasized that the administration prioritized peaceful coexistence and strengthened trust between residents and security agencies. He explained that the governor’s approach involved understanding local challenges and engaging community leaders directly.
Hafees added that continued dialogue with communities and security agencies had helped in identifying the cause of insecurity and enabled workable solutions. ‘The state’s progress shows that insecurity can be addressed through collaboration and commitment. Before now, people feared traveling due to kidnapping and robbery, but today, Kaduna is peaceful. Residents now do their business without fear of losing money or facing attacks. That is why the governor merited the award,’ he said.
Hafees urged other governors to emulate Kaduna’s model of empowering security personnel with modern equipment. He added that the authorities should also improve the welfare and operational tools of the security agencies, as such measures would help them respond effectively to any form of threats. He, however, urged the residents to support the government through prayers, cooperation, and law-abiding behavior.
