“He urged the people to remain patriotic, peace-loving, and law-abiding, stressing that genuine love for the nation begins with love for one’s community and fellow citizens.

“The Governor further appealed to residents to sustain fervent prayers and collective efforts towards building a stronger and more prosperous Kebbi State and Nigeria.”

Governor Idris, who assured the people of the state of more prosperity, noted that the 2026 Budget of Transformation and People’s Empowerment would significantly improve living standards through expanded income-generating opportunities, enhanced healthcare delivery, quality education, and sustained infrastructural development.

Idris, according to the statement, reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of his administration to advancing the welfare of the people, noting that both the Kebbi State Government and the Federal Government are intensifying efforts to decisively address the recurring challenges of insecurity.

“The governor emphasised that peace, unity, and harmonious coexistence remain critical to development, describing Nigeria’s diversity as a strength rather than a weakness.

“Governor Nasir Idris expressed optimism that 2026 would usher in greater development, enhanced empowerment initiatives, and improved service delivery across the state.”

Idris, however, wished the people of Kebbi State a happy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year.
