Governor Uba Sani delivered the keynote address and participated in the panel discussion at the National Security Roundtable on Constitutional Reform and the Establishment of State Police Services.

He reaffirmed his support for the establishment of State Police, stressing that it should complement the Nigeria Police Force and operate with professionalism, accountability and constitutional safeguards. Drawing from Kaduna State’s experience, he noted that trust, dialogue and intelligence-led policing remain essential to achieving lasting security and strengthening Nigeria’s federal system.

It was a privilege to deliver the keynote address and participate in the panel discussion at the National Security Roundtable on Constitutional Reform and the Establishment of State Police Services, organised by the National Assembly Library Trust Fund in Abuja. The Roundtable brought together an eminent gathering of security practitioners, legislators, constitutional scholars, policymakers and other distinguished stakeholders to deliberate on one of the most consequential institutional reforms before our nation. At a time when Nigeria's security challenges are becoming increasingly complex and multidimensional, such thoughtful engagement is essential to shaping a constitutional and institutional framework that is both responsive to present realities and resilient enough to meet future demands.

In my keynote address, I reaffirmed my support for the establishment of State Police as a vital component of a more effective and responsive national security architecture. I stressed, however, that the success of this reform will depend not merely on constitutional amendment, but on building institutions anchored on professionalism, accountability, operational independence and robust constitutional safeguards.

I emphasised that State Police should complement, not replace, the Nigeria Police Force, with both institutions operating within a coordinated framework founded on collaboration, intelligence sharing and clearly defined constitutional responsibilities. I also underscored the imperative of nationally benchmarked recruitment and training standards, technology-driven policing, independent oversight and sustainable funding.

Drawing from our experience in Kaduna State, I observed that lasting security is built through trust, dialogue, inclusion, community partnership and intelligence-led policing. I remain convinced that a carefully designed State Police system will deepen federalism, strengthen democratic governance and significantly enhance the protection of lives and property across our country.

“I have come here with a heart full of joy to celebrate the distinguished work you (Gov. Uba Sani) have done in Ham land. I have looked forward to this kind of development since my childhood. For decades, our roads were nothing but dust, but today, you have made it leather (asphalt roads) connecting our hospital, and every corner of Jaba. You have demonstrated the true meaning of inclusive governance. On behalf of the people and stakeholders of Jaba, we assure you of our unwavering support at all times.”

I join family, friends, colleagues and countless admirers across Nigeria and beyond in celebrating my dear friend, Prince Nduka Obaigbena (The Duke), on the joyous occasion of his 67th birthday and the 40th anniversary of the founding of THISWEEK magazine; a pioneering publication that transformed the landscape of Nigerian journalism and laid the foundation for one of Africa's most influential media institutions.

Forty years ago, when many were content to follow familiar paths, The Duke chose to chart a new course. With uncommon vision, courage and intellectual audacity, he founded THISWEEK, a publication that challenged conventions, raised professional standards and redefined investigative and public-interest journalism in Nigeria. That bold enterprise evolved into THISDAY and the ARISE Media Group, institutions that have continued to shape public discourse, deepen democratic engagement and project African perspectives onto the global stage.

Prince Nduka Obaigbena is much more than an accomplished media entrepreneur. He is a humanist whose generosity has opened doors for countless professionals; a patriot whose unwavering belief in Nigeria has never faltered; a nationalist who understands that a strong democracy is sustained by a free, courageous and responsible press; and a steadfast pro-democracy crusader who has consistently defended the principles of free expression, accountability and good governance.

His remarkable journey is a testament to what visionary leadership can achieve. A trailblazer by instinct, bold in thought and resolute in action, he has never allowed convention to limit ambition. Time and again, he has demonstrated that institutions of enduring value are built by those who possess the courage to dream beyond the ordinary and the discipline to transform vision into reality.

Beyond his extraordinary professional accomplishments lies an even greater legacy: his abiding faith in people. He has mentored generations of journalists, nurtured talent, created opportunities and inspired countless young Nigerians to believe that excellence is not an aspiration but a duty.

As he marks this double milestone, I pray that Almighty God grants him continued good health, even sharper mental acuity, renewed strength and many more years of purposeful service to our beloved nation, the African continent and humanity at large.

Happy 67th Birthday, The Duke. May your remarkable legacy continue to inspire generations, and may your vision keep illuminating the path toward a stronger democracy, a freer press and a more prosperous Nigeria.

Kaduna Update: Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, CON, is attending the National Assembly Open Week as a special guest of honor.

Drawing from his hands-on experience leading Kaduna State through a period of significantly improved security, and his legislative background as the sponsor of the historic state policing bill, His Excellency will feature as a key panelist at the "National Security Roundtable." He is set to share vital perspectives on regional safety, legislative backing, and the future of state policing in Nigeria.

The best of Kaduna culture and tradition were on display today as I formally presented the Staff of Office to the newly installed 5th Chief of Moro'a, His Highness, Mr. Ishaku Tagwai Sambo at Manchok, Kaura Local Government, Kaduna State.

The coronation ceremony which attracted top traditional rulers, distinguished guests and sons and daughters of Moro'a Chiefdom was an opportunity to celebrate a proud and resilient people, and open a new chapter in the legacy of leadership, peace, and service. I congratulated His Highness, Mr. Ishaku Tagwai Sambo on his well-deserved ascension and commended the Asholyio people for a smooth and dignified transition from a glorious past to a promising future.

I also reminded His Highness that his appointment as First Class Chief of Moro’a is a trust bestowed by the people, a testament to his character and service, and a task that demands courage, clarity, and commitment. I also paid tribute to the late Chief Tagwai Sambo, whose 58 years of reign were defined by peace, patience, and purpose.

The traditional institution remains a critical partner in governance, security, and development. Our royal fathers are protectors of peace, promoters of progress, and pillars of our communities. Together, we will continue to build a safer, stronger, and more united Kaduna State.

In my capacity as the Coordinating Governor of the North West Zone, I had the honour today of hosting the All Progressives Congress (APC) North West Stakeholders Meeting in Kaduna.

The meeting was attended by the APC National Chairman, the Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Deputy President of the Senate, Governors of Kebbi and Jigawa States, Deputy Governor of Katsina, Ministers from the North West, National Assembly and State Assembly members from the North West, Presidential aides from the North West, APC State Chairmen and party stakeholders from North West. We took a critical look at the state of the party in the zone, assessed the performances of elected and appointed officials at the Federal and State Levels, and mapped out effective strategies to consolidate the party's dominance.

One of the major highlights of the well attended meeting was the passing of a Vote of Confidence on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and his endorsement as the sole candidate of the North West Zone in the forthcoming 2027 Presidential Election. Building on my well received submission that President Tinubu has demonstrated uncommon support to the North West with key interventions in the areas of infrastructure, security, agriculture, as well as the appointment of two service chiefs and 12 Ministers from the zone, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, Ph.D moved a motion for a vote of confidence on President Tinubu "for his progressive governance, inclusive leadership and unwavering support to the good people of the North West Zone." The motion was seconded by the Governor of Kebbi State, Comrade Nasir Idris. The Speaker thereafter put the question, and the response from the stakeholders was a resounding YES.

I had the privilege of being the Special Guest of Honor at the annual Durbar Festival (Hawan Daushe) in Zaria, held as part of this year’s Eid-El-Kabir celebrations. The event, renowned for its pageantry and cultural significance, brought together traditional titleholders, colorful horsemen, tourists from all over the world and a vibrant crowd in a grand display of our heritage and pride.

The festival was graciously hosted by His Highness, Amb. Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, the Emir of Zazzau. Shortly after the event, the reception we received from the good people of Zaria was truly electrifying, welcoming, and full of honor.

The doors of Parliament are open. So are the books.

For too long, Nigerians have asked one question: "What exactly does the House of Representatives do?"

At the 3rd National Assembly Open Week, we are answering that question with facts, figures, and full transparency.

The People's Governor: Simplicity in Action

Governor Uba Sani's simplicity and inclusive leadership are exactly why the people of Kaduna State hold him in such high regard. He doesn't just govern from behind a desk, he meets people right where they are, bringing real development directly to their communities.

Today's incredible reception in Jaba LGA is a perfect testament to his people-first approach to leadership.

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

I was delighted to return to Kwoi in Jaba Local Government Area to fulfil a solemn promise made during the groundbreaking ceremony on 11 September 2025 by commissioning the Audu Tilo Road, Sabon Gari Road, Doctor Sani Road, Hospital Road, Kpop Ham Palace Road and the strategic Kwoi–Gora Road. The warmth, enthusiasm and genuine joy with which the people received us were deeply humbling and reaffirmed the enduring bond of trust between our administration and the citizens we are privileged to serve. There is no greater fulfilment in public service than returning to a community to demonstrate that promises made have indeed become promises kept.

For more than two decades, Jaba Local Government Area witnessed no completed road construction and stood among the twelve local government areas that suffered prolonged neglect in critical road infrastructure. Today, that unfortunate chapter has given way to a new era of purposeful development. Since assuming office on 29 May 2023, our administration has initiated 150 road projects spanning more than 1,355 kilometres across all twenty-three local government areas of Kaduna State, with the overwhelming majority already completed.
