Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said that the government alone cannot shoulder the responsibility of educating children, stressing the need for stronger collaboration among stakeholders to advance the sector.
Sani stated this while commissioning a facility established by the Christian Academy Management in Ungwan Bulus, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, at the weekend.
Represented by the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Kaduna State, Dr James Kanyip, the governor said meaningful progress in education could only be achieved through partnerships involving government, communities, faith-based organisations and private institutions.
“The task of educating our children cannot be left to government alone.
“Meaningful progress requires collaboration among government, communities, faith-based organisations and private institutions.
“This is why we greatly value initiatives such as this one,” he said.
The governor reiterated his administration’s readiness to partner with individuals and organisations committed to educational advancement, noting that investing in young minds remained one of the surest ways to guarantee lasting peace, prosperity and development.
He described the newly commissioned facility as a symbol of hope, opportunity and transformation, saying it reflected a collective commitment to strengthening society through education.
According to him, education remains one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, human capital development and societal progress.
“Every classroom built creates opportunities for learning. Every child educated strengthens our communities. Every investment in education contributes to a more prosperous future for our state and nation,” he said.
Sani noted that his administration places a high premium on education because sustainable development begins with an educated and empowered population.
He said that since assuming office, his government had implemented policies and programmes aimed at improving educational infrastructure, expanding access to learning opportunities and promoting quality education across the state.
“Our goal is clear: to make education accessible, affordable and equitable for every child. This vision continues to guide government interventions across the sector,” he added.
The governor further said that the significance of the facility extended beyond the host communities, as it would serve as a centre for learning, character formation and leadership development.

He expressed confidence that the facility would help nurture young minds and equip them with the knowledge, skills and values needed to become productive citizens and future leaders.
Sani commended the Christian Academy Management for its contribution to the education sector, describing the investment as a demonstration of the understanding that education is both a social responsibility and a strategic investment in human capital development
