Each classroom provides learning opportunities. Every child educated strengthens our communities. Every investment in education contributes to a more prosperous future for our state and country,’’ he said.

Since taking office, His Excellency has pursued policies and programs to improve educational infrastructure, expand access to learning opportunities, and promote quality education across Kaduna State.
Our goal is clear: to make education accessible, affordable, and equitable for every child. This vision continues to guide government efforts across the sector,’’ he added.
Governor Uba Sani stressed that the task of educating children cannot be left to the government alone.
Meaningful progress requires collaboration among government, communities, faith-based organizations, and private institutions. That’s why we greatly value initiatives such as this one,’’ he added.
He pointed out that the significance of the facility goes beyond Ungwan Bulus and Sabon Tasha communities because ‘’it will serve as a center for learning, character formation, and leadership development.’’
