On October 1st, Kaduna State will commemorate its 66th Independence Day with a parade, following special prayers held at the Sultan Bello mosque. Led by Deputy Chief Imam Malam Abdullahi Aliyu, the supplications for peace, stability, and economic prosperity were made after the Jumaat prayer, attended by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr AbdulKadir Muázu Meyere, senior officials, and Muslim faithful.

The prayers sought divine guidance for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani to steer the affairs of the country and state respectively. Imam Abdullahi urged political leaders and citizens to uphold trust, truthfulness, and integrity, reminding that political positions and wealth are temporary. He emphasized that honesty is a divine obligation applicable in both governance and commerce, and that trustworthiness in actions elevates one's status in this world, but betrayal of trust has severe consequences.

The state government's Information and Culture Commissioner, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, revealed that an inter-denominational church service will be held at Living Faith Church, Barnawa, with Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr James Kanyip, representing the Governor. The climax of the celebrations will be an official parade at Murtala Mohammed Square, presided over by Governor Uba Sani.
