The atmosphere was convivial even when the interactions were frank, deep and elevated. It was the inaugural meeting of the North - West Stakeholders of the ruling All Progressive Congress hosted and chaired by the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, in his capacity as the Coordinating Governor of the North-west zone, reputedly…
Even more important, this crucial meeting afforded political leaders and stakeholders of the ruling APC in the North-west, the opportunity to introspect about the first year of the APC administration under President Ahmed Bola Tinubu. Upon robust deliberations, the northern political leaders commended the president for tackling Nigeria’s numerous challenges “with courage and uncommon commitment”.
Kaduna was once revered, even deified as the all-powerful capital of northern Nigeria; home to northern political, military, religious and business leaders whose words were unwritten codes by which Nigeria was governed. Kaduna was prodigious and was intensely coveted by all persons of northern extraction.
From the onset, Governor Sani was determined to deploy indelible and sustainable solutions to mitigate and eventually curb the hydra-headed problem of insecurity in the state. His preferred option turned out to be a deft combination of kinetic and non-kinetic solutions to stem a seemingly intractable problem.
Senator Sani was the first state governor, among his contemporaries, to visit and personally take his internal security masterplan to the NSA, the Chief of Defence Staff and the Chiefs of Army, Naval and Air staff respectively. The governor’s concerted efforts did not go to waste as the leadership of the Armed Forces saw reasons with him and accepted to set up more Forward Operation Bases in Kaduna State.
Governor Sani is a staunch believer in the decentralization of policing in Nigeria. The governor’s long-running advocacy to alter Nigeria’s constitution to enable states to establish and run their respective police force or service, as is the case in most developing and developed countries of the world, is well documented.
“In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, I wish to announce that our Kuriga school children have been released.
To safeguard the schools from the nefarious incursions of bandits, kidnappers and other criminal elements, the Kaduna State Government has designed and is currently implementing a unique Safe School Programme aimed at strengthening safety and security in primary and secondary schools across the state, through collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force.
Pursuant to this goal, in September 2023, Governor Sani flagged off the 21.7-kilometre road, linking Anchau and Gadas-Palla Road in Kubau and Ikara Local Governments. The road was conceptualized and designed to address the transportation challenges of 32 communities. A month later, the governor flagged off the construction of a 10.2-kilometre feeder road, stretching from Dan Makwarwa to Hunkuyi.
Speaking of the inflow of investments, Governor Sani has exceedingly excelled on this score. An example is the proactive collaboration between the Kaduna State Government and the Kuwait Fund. The Fund is currently supporting Kaduna State with $28 million to return several out-of-school children back to school.
The governor stressed the importance of the trip: “We held fruitful meetings with investors in the areas of solid minerals, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure development.
For the first time in a long while, farmers in Kaduna State are gearing up for bountiful harvests this year. Aside the fact that the state government in conjunction with security agencies are making it safer for them to return to their farms, Governor Sani’s administration has been distributing farm inputs and agro-processing machines to thousands of beneficiaries across the state under the Tallafin Noma scheme.
The governor has also inaugurated a Women and Children Centre for vulnerable women and children to facilitate access to a range of services including medical, legal, psychosocial, and counselling support. Addressing the congregation, Governor Sani said that his government will develop every part of Kaduna State, without giving ethnic or religious consideration to siting of development projects. “One of the most important agenda of our government is to ensure that we carry our people along. Human capital development is the most important thing. I try to make it clear to the people of Kaduna State that we are not concerned with any religious or ethnic differences.
