I Won’t Demolish Any Building Without Compensation – Gov. Uba Sani

Uba Sani

Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State has vowed that his administration would not demolish any structure without fair and adequate compensation to owners. He recently had his say at Rigasa during the flag-off of the distribution of cheques to 189 affected households along the Rigasa township roads.

According to him, his government would not hide under the guise of overriding public interest to displace property owners for the execution of projects.

He added that since taking the oath of office on May 29, 2023, his administration has anchored governance on justice, compassion and integrity.

His words, “As a matter of policy, we have resolved that no citizen will suffer unjustly in the name of development.

We will not cloak expediency in the language of ‘overriding public interest.’ Public interest must never eclipse private rights without restitution.

Roads, bridges and public works may define the physical landscape of a state, but fairness and empathy define its moral landscape.

This is not charity; it is justice fulfilled.

In total, we have disbursed about N2.85 billion in compensation.”

WOW.
