Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna state, has inaugurated a 25-bed primary health care centre and a skill acquisition centre in Tudun Biri community of Igabi LGA.
The governor also distributed 300 bags of 50kg rice, 300 bags of 50kg maize and 500 bags of 50kg NPK fertilizer to residents of the community and surrounding villages.
On December 3, 2023, a Nigerian Army drone on the trail of bandits, had accidentally bombed the villagers during a muslim celebration, killing over 100 people.
On Sunday, residents marked the one year anniversary of the incident.

Earlier in the year, the Kaduna state government constituted a committee headed by Hadiza Balarabe, the deputy governor, to implement and monitor mechanisms for projects in the community, following donations of millions of naira by the Northern Governors Forum, the national assembly, the Nigerian Army and other corporate bodies.
Speaking while inaugurating the projects, Sani assured that he would continue to follow up on the unfortunate incident until “the perpetrators of the error bombing are brought to justice”.
“The skills acquisition centre will equip Tudun Biri youths with the skills to be employable and to even be employers themselves,” the governor said.
