In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Print media to the Governor Ahmad Muhammad Danyaro, the governor said, "As a roadmap we intend to make the progress consultative and inclusive to ensure that it responds to the yearnings and aspirations of the People of Jigawa State as well as addresses our current challenges and priorities."
The statement reads that, Governor Badaru appreciated United Kingdom Government for supporting the implementation of various programs particularly in the areas of governance reforms, human development and economic growth.
"I am happy to say that these have continued to impact positively on the socio economic development of Jigawa State and wellbeing of its people," he explained.
According to the statement, Since 2008, The Civic Resources Development and Documentation Center in Nigeria (CIRDOC-Nigeria) supported by UK-Aid and other development partners has ranked Jigawa state the first in the independent national assessment.
