Kaduna State has recorded zero incidents of violent conflict since 2023, a development the state government says has strengthened progress across education, agriculture, skills acquisition, and business growth.
The disclosure was made at the 2025 Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Week held on Saturday in Kaduna, where Governor Senator Uba Sani was represented by the Honourable Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki.
Delivering the governor’s keynote address, Maiyaki said the achievement reflects the effectiveness of the Kaduna Peace Model, a home-grown framework that integrates dialogue, community engagement, early-warning systems, and intelligence-led security with inclusive governance.
He added that the administration has deliberately positioned peace as a development strategy, stressing that peace is the foundation of development, as sustainable social and economic progress cannot be achieved without stability.
