Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has declared that his administration will not borrow to finance projects and will also not incur debts while executing them.
Sani, who also said his government inherited several abandoned projects from previous administrations, promised to complete them before the end of his tenure.
The governor made these promises at the groundbreaking for the construction of the road that connects Kayarda Tasha, Kayarda Gari, Unguwan Sarki, Maskawa and Dan Alhaji towns in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
He disclosed that the 16.5-kilometre asphalt road will be handled by a reputable company, adding that “this kind of project is unprecedented in Lere local government.”
Sani also listed the abandoned projects in Lere local government, which his administration has either completed or mobilised contractors back to site.
“Rewa bridge that links Gure town has been completed. Marjeri bridge has also been completed. Tudai bridge will be completed in a month or two. I have taken steps to address the lack of electricity supply in Yarkasuwa, Kayarda, Ramin Kura and Mariri towns,” Sani disclosed.
Also speaking at the event, the Kaduna State Commissioner of Environment, Abubakar Buba, described Governor Sani as a man of his words and someone who keeps promises.

He thanked the governor for appointing several Lere indigenes into key positions and giving the local government and the entire state dividends of democracy.
“The Majority Leader of Kaduna State, Hon Munira Suleiman Tanimu, is from Lere local government. We are proud of our hardworking House of Representatives member, Hon Ahmed Munir. God has blessed us with a dynamic Council Chairman, Hon Jafaaru. I am a Commissioner of Environment,” Buba added.
Buba also disclosed that Sani has been giving them a free hand to run their affairs, adding: “That is why we operate an open-door policy and provide succour to our people.”
In her speech, the Kaduna State House of Assembly Majority Leader, Munira Suleiman Tanimu, recalled that during campaign, the people of Lere local government requested the construction of the road whose groundbreaking the governor has now performed.
The lawmaker promised that the results of the 2027 election will be a repeat of what happened in the recent by-election, where the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged victorious at the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency as well as Zaria-Kewaye and Basawa State Constituencies.
Also speaking, Ahmed Munir of the House of Representatives recalled Sani’s early years at Unguwan Makama in Saminaka town, headquarters of Lere local government.
He described the governor as a good striker who scores the highest goals for his team, adding: “Governor Uba Sani will continue to be a striker in the political realm.”
