Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani says the collaboration between the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the Kaduna State Government exemplifies cooperative governance at its best.
Sani said this at a special constituency empowerment programme organised by Abbas at the Nuhu Babajo Stadium in Zaria, Kaduna State, on Sunday, February 1, 2026, where the Speaker distributed 850 motorcycles and 30 vehicles, as well as commissioned sports centres across Zaria Federal Constituency as part of his empowerment programme.
Sani had earlier commissioned a 100-kilowatt solar mini-grid at Damau, in Kubau Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Sani stated that the partnership is “built on mutual respect, shared vision, and an unyielding commitment to the welfare of our people.”
“Together, we are demonstrating that when leaders work in harmony, development accelerates and trust in public institutions is strengthened,” he added.
The governor noted that the empowerment programme reflects Abbas’ unwavering belief that public office must translate into visible improvement in the lives of the people, adding that democracy finds its truest meaning when it delivers dignity, opportunity, and hope.
Sani further stated that the empowerment programme underscores a development philosophy anchored on productivity, inclusion, and human wellbeing.
“The empowerment programme, which began days ago and now reaches its crescendo, is a powerful reminder of what purposeful leadership can achieve,” Sani said.
The governor said Abbas’ leadership and sustained commitment to development have helped to unlock opportunities that directly benefit communities such as Damau.

He also acknowledged the efforts of the Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, “for believing in our vision and the commendable work he is doing”.
Sani also lauded the lawmaker representing Kubau/Ikara Federal Constituency, Aliyu Mustapha Abdullahi, “whose advocacy ensured that this community remained firmly on the agenda of rural electrification.”
Speaking, Abbas recalled that on Friday, the empowerment programmed focused on economic empowerment through training opportunities and financial grants for women and young people.
The Speaker added: Today (Sunday), we advance this commitment by investing in mobility, organisational, and community infrastructure.
“Together, these interventions form an integrated approach to building capacity, improving service delivery, and strengthening the systems that sustain education, security, political participation, and youth development across Zaria Federal Constituency and Kaduna State in general.”
“The empowerment is about rewarding service and reinforcing grassroots structures. It is about equipping those who hold communities together with tools that make their work more effective and their impact more visible.
“For this reason, we are distributing 850 motorcycles to primary and secondary school teachers, Imams, polling unit heads, support groups, and security personnel. Improved mobility reduces daily hardship and increases efficiency.
“Teachers can reach classrooms more consistently. Religious leaders can engage wider communities. Grassroots organisers can operate effectively across all wards.
“Security personnel can respond faster and maintain a stronger presence. When mobility improves, service improves, and when service improves, communities grow stronger.”
