Kaduna State Is Now Much Better Than I Met It – Gov. Uba Sani

Uba Sani

Governor Uba Sani has said that Kaduna State is now much better than he met it. He recently had his say while speaking at a workshop for senior Government officials organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations(NIPR), as part of the ongoing Nigeria Public Relations Week, Croc City 2026.

According to him, he inherited a Kaduna State that has immense potential but was bedevilled with security challenges, infrastructure gaps and social indicators that required urgent attention.

He added that his government simply ensured that every ministry, department, and agency worked with clarity of purpose and accountability of outcome.

His words, “Kaduna is not where it was. Kaduna is by far a better place today and even more exciting is the fact that Kaduna is on the move and set to do even greater things and attain higher heights.

We institutionalised a performance framework built around Key Performance Indicators, ensuring that every ministry, department, and agency operates with clarity of purpose and accountability of outcome.

We strengthened mobility and response through the deployment of over 150 operational vehicles and 500 motorcycles to security agencies. In our urban centres, we constituted a Joint Task Force that has significantly reduced incidents of street crime and banditry generally.

We have reclaimed over 20,000 hectares of previously inaccessible farmland, enabling farmers to return to productive activity, especially in places like Birnin Gwari, Giwa and Kargarko.

We have facilitated the resettlement of over 1,000 displaced persons and continue to provide targeted support to more than 117,000 internally displaced persons, with particular attention to women and children.

The Kaduna Incident Report Centre— KAD-IR, now provides a 24-hour platform for real-time emergency response. Early warning systems are in place to detect and defuse tensions before they escalate.

We have constructed 736 new classrooms and renovated over 1,200 existing ones. We have recruited 10,000 teachers and trained more than 33,000 education personnel in modern teaching methodologies and digital skills.

This progress reflects not only investment, but also coordination, data-driven interventions, and sustained engagement with communities.”

WOW.
