JUMU’AT MUBARAK
The 2025 Philips Consulting index ranked Kaduna State as 3rd in performance.This is an incontrovertible evidence of the developmental strides in the state in areas of accountable governance,resource management and infrastructural development.Despite the challenges of inherited debt burden and insecurity,the state is piloted with positive vision and goals,now gaining recognition and accolades.Kudos to Governor Uba Sani and his team for this feat.
That Kaduna was described as the heartbeat of Northern Nigeria is both humbling and instructive. It affirms our strategic significance and deepens our resolve to serve as a fulcrum for unity and progress. I am equally grateful for Her Excellency’s gracious recognition of the newly completed and commissioned Brigadier Abba Kyari Banquet Hall as a space dedicated to dialogue and development.
We acknowledge, with gratitude, the steadfast role of our religious leaders in nurturing peace, moral clarity, and social cohesion. As a government, we remain resolute; committed to policies and alliances that uplift our people, strengthen resilience, and advance inclusive, sustainable development across Kaduna State.

Governor Uba Sani Orders Immediate Completion of Western Bypass, Sets Up Task Force After Fatal Accidents
The Kaduna State Government has issued a firm directive for the immediate acceleration and completion of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Western Bypass, declaring ongoing delays “completely unacceptable” in the wake of repeated fatal accidents along the corridor.
The decision followed an emergency stakeholders’ meeting convened at the instance of Governor Uba Sani, who expressed grave concern over the rising number of crashes on the 21.5-kilometre expressway stretching from Command Junction through the bypass to Mando Roundabout.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the Commissioner for Information & Culture, Mallam Ahmed Maiyaki, conveyed the Governor’s deep concern and urgency:
“His Excellency is profoundly disturbed by the tragic loss of lives recorded on this highway. No level of progress can justify the continued loss of even a single life. This situation is intolerable, and decisive action must be taken immediately.”
The high-level meeting brought together critical stakeholders, including representatives of the Federal Ministry of Works, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), KASTELEA, the main contractor Dangote Industries, subcontractors Dantata & Sawoe, and leadership of transport unions such as NARTO, NURTW, and ACCOMORAN.
Maiyaki noted that although the project was awarded in 2021, prior to the current administration, progress had been sluggish until Governor Uba Sani personally intervened.
“Since the Governor’s direct engagement, we have seen a marked improvement in the pace of work. However, progress alone is not enough—timely completion is now non-negotiable.”
According to updates from the Federal Controller of Highways and contractors, approximately 19 kilometres of the road have been completed. Despite the official delivery timeline of December 2026, the Governor has now issued a clear directive for an earlier completion date.
“His Excellency has made it unequivocally clear: this project must be delivered ahead of schedule. Any further delay will not be tolerated.”
To ensure strict compliance, the government has established a multi-agency task force to monitor construction and enforce safety measures around the clock, particularly during the rainy season.
The task force, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Works, includes the FRSC, KASTELEA, Federal Ministry of Works officials, contractors, community representatives, traditional leaders, and transport unions. The Ministry of Information has been mandated to lead an aggressive public awareness and behavioral change campaign.
Maiyaki underscored that unsafe road use has been a major contributing factor to the accidents, noting that several high-risk crossing points have been identified.
“Beyond infrastructure, human behaviour remains a critical challenge. We are working closely with communities to enforce safer road usage. Recklessness on our roads must stop.”
He further stressed that both construction standards and road usage must align with global best practices:
“We are committed to ensuring that this road meets international safety standards—not just in design, but in how it is used.”
The government’s intervention follows mounting pressure from community leaders and youth groups, who have described the situation along the bypass as a “serious public safety emergency” with far-reaching economic and social consequences.
With the new directive and enforcement mechanisms in place, the Kaduna State Government says it is determined to restore safety, accelerate delivery, and ensure that the Western Bypass serves its intended purpose without further loss of life.
I receive with deep appreciation the decision of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations to confer upon me the distinguished honours of Fellow and Patron, alongside the recognition as a World Public Relations Forum Governance Ambassador, endorsed by the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communications Management, representing 126 member countries. These honours, conveyed during the recent courtesy visit led by the President of the Institute, Dr. Ike Neliaku, rise above the realm of personal distinction; they reflect a collective affirmation of the principles that guide our work in Kaduna State: integrity in leadership, transparency in governance, and responsibility in public communication.
I accept these recognitions with humility and with a heightened sense of responsibility. They reaffirm my conviction that sustainable governance is anchored not only on policy direction, but on trust; carefully built through clarity, consistency, and genuine engagement with citizens. The progress we have recorded in peacebuilding, infrastructure development, and inclusive growth is the product of deliberate choices, grounded in accountability and strengthened by open, credible communication.
I commend the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations for its enduring role in shaping narratives that enhance institutional credibility and public confidence. As we host the 3rd NIPR Week here in Kaduna State, we remain resolute in our commitment to fostering constructive dialogue, deepening national cohesion, and projecting a truthful and forward-looking image of our state and our country. Together, we will continue to uphold the values that inspire trust, strengthen unity, and advance our shared aspirations for progress.

I had the honour of joining the Vice President, His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, alongside other distinguished guests, at the wedding fatiha of the children of my brother and colleague, His Excellency Governor Babagana Umara Zulum. The ceremony took place at the Palace of the Shehu of Borno in Maiduguri, Borno State.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Umar Babagana, Mamman Babagana, Abba Babagana, and Aisha Babagana, as well as their spouses. I wish them all a happy and fulfilling married life. May Allah bless their unions and make their marriages among the best. Ameen.
I had the distinct pleasure of receiving the top management team of Dangote Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, where they presented a comprehensive update on the progress of their automobile assembly’s operations within our State. The delegation, led by the Managing Director, Ibrahim Issa Gachi, offered valuable insight into the company’s steady advancement and strategic direction.
As a major shareholder, Kaduna State remains unwavering in its commitment to supporting the growth, resilience, and long-term sustainability of this important enterprise. I commend the company’s ongoing efforts in assembling new vehicle models, soon to be introduced into the Nigerian market; an encouraging development that reinforces our collective aspiration to deepen local manufacturing capacity and reduce dependence on imports.
I am equally appreciative of their acknowledgement of our administration’s deliberate efforts to foster a secure, stable, and enabling environment for businesses. Their expansion plans and projected investments in the months ahead are both reassuring and aligned with our broader vision of industrialisation, job creation, and shared prosperity.
Our ranking as second in Ease of Doing Business nationwide, and first in Northern Nigeria, reflects sustained reforms anchored on transparency and efficiency. We shall also be increasing our equity stake in the company, further affirming our confidence in its future.
I encourage Dangote Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited to sustain its commitment to excellence, innovation, and transformative impact.

Governor Uba Sani’s Transformative Health Agenda positions Kaduna State as a model for Healthcare Excellence.
In the competitive landscape of Nigeria’s healthcare sector, few states have demonstrated the comprehensive, strategic, and results-driven approach to health system strengthening that Kaduna State has achieved under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Uba Sani. As the Independent Awards—now in its silver jubilee edition—prepares to recognize excellence in governance, Kaduna State emerges as a standout nominee for the prestigious Health Award, having fundamentally transformed healthcare infrastructure, accessibility, and outcomes for its citizens in less than two years.
The credentials are compelling.
From upgrading 255 Primary Healthcare Centers to establishing state-of-the-art tertiary facilities, from implementing universal medicine availability to recruiting thousands of healthcare workers, Kaduna State has executed a healthcare transformation that transcends the typical and rhetoric of governance to deliver measurable, tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary Nigerians. This is precisely the caliber of achievement the Independent Awards seeks to recognize and celebrate.
Infrastructure: From Rhetoric to Reality
When Dr. Uba Sani assumed office, Kaduna State’s healthcare infrastructure reflected decades of underinvestment and neglect. The administration’s response was decisive and comprehensive. The 255 Primary Healthcare Centers upgraded to Level-2 facilities represent more than mere statistical achievement—they signify the restoration of hope and health security to rural and underserved communities across the state’s 23 local government areas.
The establishment of 23 PHC Centres of Excellence, strategically positioned one in each LGA, represents strategic thinking that moves beyond one-off projects. These centers function as data hubs, monitoring staff performance, disease conditions, and medicine consumption while establishing two-way referral networks. This systemic approach ensures sustainability and accountability—hallmarks of genuine governance reform.
The 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital stands as a monument to this commitment. By providing advanced oncological, transplant, and surgical services, the facility directly addresses a critical gap in Nigeria’s healthcare landscape: the hemorrhage of medical tourism that depletes national resources while leaving ordinary citizens without access to specialized care. The hospital’s completion and commissioning demonstrates not just ambition, but execution.
Beyond tertiary and primary facilities, the administration invested in the unglamorous but essential infrastructure of healthcare systems. The upgraded KADHSMA warehouse, now pharma-grade with 1,600 square meters of storage capacity, and the completed quality control laboratory represent the backbone of reliable medicine supply. The solar-powered electricity installed at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital exemplifies the pragmatic problem-solving required in Nigeria’s context—ensuring continuity of care amid energy challenges.
Service Delivery: Reaching the Unreached
Infrastructure without service delivery is mere architecture. Kaduna State’s achievements in this arena demonstrate the integration of physical and human resources into functional, responsive healthcare systems. The establishment of 120 neonatal corners across the state directly contributes to reducing preventable neonatal mortality—a metric that resonates powerfully in global health discourse.
