Uba Sani: Tinubu behind my administration’s success

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani says his administration would not have recorded major achievements within two and half years without President Bola Tinubu’s support.

Sani said Kaduna State will be the first subnational to benefit from the $200 million Nigeria-China poultry project, the biggest in sub-saharan Africa, because of the president’s love for the state.

“By the grace of God, in the next two months, we will be doing the ground breaking for the construction of the biggest poultry project in Sub-Saharan Africa,” Sani said while hosting social media influencers for Iftar, the breaking of Ramadan fast, in Kaduna on Wednesday night.

The governor stated that the project will create 350 direct jobs and 150,000 indirect jobs, adding that it will support about 10,000 small businesses in Kaduna State.

He noted that Kaduna State will be the first to have a light rail outside Lagos State, “because of the benevolence of President Bola Tinubu.”

Sani, who disclosed that the ground breaking of the light rail project will take place in May, thanked the social media influencers for their support.

He reiterated that the influencers are professionals in their own right, who chose to promote the activities of the Kaduna State Government because of their passion for good governance.

Governor Sani further stated that his administration has recorded positive milestones in the two and half years, adding that the influencers have been promoting these achievements.

He said his administration in partnership with Kuwait Development Fund has built about 104 schools to address the issue of out-of-school children.

He said: “Kaduna State Government has built 65 secondary schools, renovated over 2,300 classrooms. We are also working toward building additional 55 secondary schools.

“We are also recruiting at least 2,000 teachers in our primary schools, starting from next month. And we will continue to do this exercise every year.

“When we came in, we had about 580,000 out-of-school children today, but by the grace of God, we have reduced that number to only about 182,000.”

The governor said Kaduna State is leading in skills development as his administration has established vocational institutions in Soba, Rigachukun, and Zangon Kataf.

He recalled that the Minister of Education said these institutions are more equipped than any Federal University of Technology in Nigeria.

“Every year we are going to be graduating 32,000 artisans that will be certified by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and they can work anywhere in the world,” he added.
