“UBA SANI AND THE NORTH WEST’s ELECTRICITY RENAISSANCE” By Ali Usman

At a time when Nigeria’s electricity discourse is too often defined by deficits, disruptions, and deferred hopes, a new and quietly transformative narrative is taking root in the North-West. It is a narrative shaped not by lamentation, but by leadership; not by dependence, but by design. At its centre stands Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State, whose emerging stewardship of subnational energy reform is fast redefining both the possibilities and the pathways for sustainable electricity supply in Nigeria.

For decades, the North-West; comprising Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara States within the Kaduna Electric franchise, has borne the weight of an energy system stretched beyond its limits. The national grid, long the singular conduit of electricity supply, has struggled to meet the demands of a region marked by vast geography, dispersed populations, and rising industrial aspirations. In this context, Kaduna Electric, the Distribution Company serving the zone, has operated under immense strain; tasked with delivering power across a complex network while contending with upstream constraints, aging infrastructure, and systemic inefficiencies.

Yet history, however burdensome, does not dictate destiny. The passage of the Electricity Act 2023 has altered the architecture of Nigeria’s power sector in ways both profound and practical. By devolving authority to the states; granting them the power to generate, transmit, distribute, and regulate electricity within their jurisdictions, the Act has opened a new frontier of possibility. It has, in effect, shifted the locus of responsibility from the centre to the periphery, inviting states to become active architects of their own energy futures.

Gov. Uba Sani has embraced this invitation with uncommon clarity and resolve. His participation in the Kaduna Electric Franchise Area Energy & Investment Summit in London on April 1 was not merely symbolic; it was strategic. Convened under the theme “Driving Energy Investment and Regional Development,” the summit brought together a constellation of stakeholders: investors, development partners, and sector experts, at a moment when Nigeria’s electricity reform must transition from aspiration to execution.

Alongside Gov. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara and Gov Nasiru Idris of Kebbi, as well as the Deputy Governor of Sokoto, Idris Muhammad Gobir, Governor Sani articulated a vision that is at once regional and pragmatic. Energy security, he argued, must no longer be conceived as a fragmented pursuit, but as a coordinated enterprise. The states within the Kaduna Electric franchise are bound not only by shared infrastructure, but by intertwined economic destinies. Their industries, markets, and communities are interconnected; their energy futures must be as well.

This emphasis on regional coherence is perhaps the most compelling feature of the current reform effort. For too long, electricity policy in Nigeria has been shaped by centralised assumptions that overlook local realities. The result has been a system that is simultaneously overstretched and underperforming. By contrast, the emerging model in the North-West recognises that effective electricity markets must be grounded in context: responsive to local demand patterns, aligned with regional economic priorities, and structured to attract investment at scale.

Central to this effort is the revitalisation of Kaduna Electric itself. As the primary distribution interface between the grid and end users, the company occupies a pivotal position in the electricity value chain. Its franchise spans major urban centres such as Kaduna, Zaria, Sokoto, and Gusau, as well as rural communities where access remains uneven. The challenges it faces; technical losses, metering deficits, and revenue constraints, are emblematic of broader sectoral issues. Yet they also represent opportunities for targeted intervention and transformation.

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

I received, with deep appreciation, the leadership of the Arewa Think Tank on a courtesy visit at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna. The delegation was led by its Chairman and former Governor of Kaduna State, His Excellency, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, and the Former Chief of Defense Staff and Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (Rtd) as well as the Convener, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu. Our engagement was both warm and intellectually stimulating, reflecting the enduring role of thoughtful dialogue in shaping public life.

The delegation commended our administration’s unwavering commitment to good governance, inclusive leadership, and the deliberate nurturing of peace across Kaduna State. They observed that these values have created an open civic space in which nongovernmental organisations, including the Arewa Think Tank, can operate freely, responsibly, and productively. Kaduna, they noted, has increasingly emerged as a centre of ideas; a hub for intellectual engagement, policy debate, and national conversation, making the state a natural destination for critical discourse on Nigeria’s future.

I was also briefed on the Think Tank’s programme of activities for 2026 and the progress recorded thus far. Of particular note was their plan to mark three years of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and their gracious invitation for me to serve as Guest Speaker at the commemorative event.

I accepted the invitation with pleasure, informed by my long-standing personal knowledge of Mr. President: his sacrifices, resilience, and lifelong commitment to the democratic struggle. We stood together during the difficult years when democracy was neither guaranteed nor convenient. I can state without reservation that few Nigerians have invested as much personal courage, resources, and resolve in the defence and advancement of democratic governance as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

I welcomed the readiness of the Arewa Think Tank to partner with the Kaduna State Government in policy formulation and implementation for the benefit of our people. Constructive engagement between government and credible nongovernmental organizations remains indispensable to sustainable development and responsive governance. I commended the delegation for their work and urged them to continue championing peace, unity, and patriotism, while remaining steadfast in safeguarding the integrity of our state and nation beyond political, religious, or ethnic lines. At this defining moment in our national journey, unity of purpose and patriotism are not optional; they are essential to securing our collective future.
