Babangida to Uba Sani: Your govt not inflicting hardship

For his inclusive leadership style and the successful implementation of development projects in Kaduna State, Governor Uba Sani has been commended.

The commendation came from the former Governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu.

Since the inception of the Uba administration, notable projects have been carried out without causing hardship for the residents, despite the challenging economic conditions.

Former Governor Aliyu made the remarks when he led a high-powered delegation from the Sardauna Memorial Foundation to Governor Uba Sani at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna to offer their condolences following the tragic incident in Tudun Biri, Community, Igabi Local Government Area.

Aliyu specifically praised Governor Sani for allocating 100 hectares of land for the Arewa Unity University project, in which the Sardauna Memorial Foundation is actively involved.

This allocation is seen as a significant step towards the overall development of the region.

In his response, Governor Sani expressed his deep appreciation for the commendable efforts of the Sardauna Memorial Foundation, particularly in the crucial field of education.

He drew their attention to the alarming number of out-of-school children in the northern region and stressed the unwavering commitment of Northern governors to tackling this pressing issue and working towards reducing the levels of illiteracy in the region.

He reiterated that his administration is anchored on seven pillars: (1) Safety and Security, (2) Upgrade of Infrastructure, (3) Strengthening Institutions, (4) Trade and Investment, (5) Agriculture, (6) Investment in Human Capital and (7) Nurturing Citizens Engagement.

Through Sani’s people-centric governance style, the Kaduna State 2024 Appropriation Bill, amounting to N458.3 billion, has been successfully signed into law following its presentation to the Kaduna State House of Assembly.

The 2024 budget tagged “Rural Transformation for Inclusive Development” was designed to bring development closer to the people of Kaduna State and to bridge the gap between the rural and urban areas, revitalize rural economies, promote social inclusion, address the gaps in infrastructure and human capital, boost agriculture and food security, and make Kaduna State safe and secure for citizens and businesses.
