I am truly elated to welcome the Federal Government delegation, led by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Engr. Olufunso Adebiyi along with representatives from the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) and our esteemed project contractor, Mota-Engil, on an important follow-up meeting on the Kaduna Light Rail Project.

This engagement presents a vital opportunity for both teams to harmonize our efforts and deepen our collaboration toward the successful realisation of this transformative initiative. I am heartened by the updates shared by the Federal Government team regarding the progress achieved thus far, underscoring our collective commitment to advancing modern transportation infrastructure in Kaduna State.

During their visit, the delegation undertook a reconnaissance tour of the project site, allowing stakeholders to assess developments firsthand and align on critical next steps.

I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his visionary leadership and unwavering support of infrastructure development in our dear state and indeed across the nation. We are especially appreciative of his approval of the N1 trillion funding for the 50KM Kaduna Light Rail Project and his commitment in ensuring that the contractors and project team moved swiftly into action.

We are equally encouraged that this visit demonstrates the readiness of all stakeholders for the groundbreaking ceremony, which is expected to take place in a month’s time. We remain grateful for the confidence placed in us by His Excellency, as the pilot state for this landmark project, which reinforces our status as a leading state in transportation innovation within Nigeria.

I also wish to acknowledge the delegation’s recognition of the Kaduna State Government’s cooperation and dedication. Together with our Federal Government partners and the project contractor, Mota-Engil, we remain resolute in our commitment to delivering the Kaduna Light Rail Project for the benefit of our citizens.

Three years of Transformation in Kaduna State Transport Sector under the Leadership of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State @ubasanius CON

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, ON THE AWARD OF STRATEGIC CONTRACTS WORTH OVER ₦1 TRILLION AND ₦178 BILLION IN KADUNA STATE

On behalf of the Government and people of Kaduna State, I extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Federal Executive Council for the gracious approval and award of transformative infrastructure contracts that will indelibly reshape the economic and social landscape of our state.

Foremost among these is the Kaduna Light Rail Project; an ambitious undertaking spanning a 30-kilometre corridor from Rigachikun to Sabon Tasha, alongside a 20-kilometre line from Millennium City to Rigasa, forming a 50-kilometre metropolitan network with an estimated value of One Trillion Naira. Complementing this is the critical reconstruction of the Mando–Kaduna–Birnin Gwari road, a 122-kilometre artery valued at ₦178 billion. Together, these projects represent not merely investments in infrastructure, but a deliberate re-engineering of mobility, security, and economic vitality across Kaduna State.

The Federal Government’s support for the light rail project is both historic and catalytic. It reinforces our vision of an integrated transport ecosystem, anchored by the 24-kilometre Bus Rapid Transit system currently underway. Kaduna has taken a pioneering role in Northern Nigeria by articulating a comprehensive State Transport Policy, one that privileges efficiency, safety, environmental sustainability, and affordability. Through initiatives such as subsidised Compressed Natural Gas buses, modern terminals, and structured transit corridors, we are systematically positioning Kaduna as a premier hub for transportation and logistics.

That Kaduna has been selected to lead this transformation; emerging as only the second state in the federation to embark on a light rail system, speaks to the confidence reposed in our vision and our capacity for execution. It is a testament to a leadership philosophy at the centre that recognises potential, rewards preparedness, and advances development without prejudice.

Equally significant is the rehabilitation of the Mando–Birnin Gwari road, a project imbued with both symbolic and practical importance. I recall, with clarity and respect, Mr. President’s visit to Birnin Gwari in the lead-up to the 2023 general elections, at a time when the area was beset by insecurity and infrastructural neglect. His promise then was unequivocal. Today, that promise is being fulfilled. This road will not only enhance connectivity but also strengthen security, facilitate agricultural productivity, and restore confidence to communities long burdened by isolation.

Kaduna State remains resolute in its commitment to the diligent execution of these projects. We view them not as isolated interventions, but as enduring legacies; foundations upon which a more prosperous, secure, and connected future will be built.

We thank Mr. President for his steadfast commitment to Kaduna State and to the equitable development of our nation.

Governor of Kaduna State

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

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.

Happy Wokers Day!

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

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.

EID EL-FITR: “A RENEWAL OF FAITH, A REAFFIRMATION OF UNITY, AND A CALL TO HIGHER PURPOSE”

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

I extend my warmest felicitations and heartfelt congratulations to the Muslim Ummah in Kaduna State, across Nigeria, and around the world, as we celebrate Eid el-Fitr, the blessed festival that marks the completion of the sacred month of Ramadan. With profound gratitude to Almighty Allah, we acknowledge His boundless mercy in granting us the strength, discipline, and spiritual awareness to observe the fast and partake in the deep blessings of this holy period.

Ramadan is far more than a ritual of abstinence; it is a sacred journey of inner renewal. It calls us to a higher consciousness; one rooted in humility, restraint, and devotion. Through fasting, prayer, charity, and reflection, we are reminded of our accountability to Allah and our responsibility to one another. The Qur’an teaches that fasting is prescribed so that we may attain righteousness. Thus, the true essence of Ramadan lies not merely in its observance, but in the transformation it inspires within us: the purification of the heart, the discipline of the self, and the elevation of our moral conduct.

Over the past month, we have sought to embody the enduring virtues of patience, compassion, generosity, and humility. We have experienced hunger and thirst, not only as acts of devotion, but as reminders of the struggles faced by the less privileged among us. We have given in charity, extended kindness to neighbours, and renewed our commitment to justice and mercy. As we celebrate Eid today, we must ensure that these virtues do not recede into memory but remain alive in our daily lives, shaping our actions and guiding our relationships.

This year’s Ramadan carries a unique and powerful symbolism. It coincided with the Christian season of Lent, a rare convergence that underscores the shared spiritual values of sacrifice, repentance, and devotion among people of faith. While Muslims mark the completion of Ramadan with joy and thanksgiving, our Christian brothers and sisters continue their solemn observance. This moment offers a profound opportunity to deepen interfaith understanding, strengthen mutual respect, and reaffirm our commitment to peaceful coexistence.

Kaduna State stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of diversity. Ours is a land where different cultures, traditions, and religions meet and interact. This diversity must not be a source of division, but a foundation for unity. It calls upon us to embrace tolerance, uphold justice, and work collectively for the common good. Eid el-Fitr, therefore, is not merely a celebration; it is a moment of reflection and renewal; a call to strengthen the bonds that unite us and to build a society anchored in peace and harmony.

The teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW (Peace Be Upon Him) remind us that the best among us are those who are most beneficial to others. This timeless guidance compels us to extend the spirit of Ramadan beyond personal devotion into the broader sphere of social responsibility. Our compassion must transcend boundaries, and our actions must reflect a sincere commitment to the welfare of all members of society. When we uphold integrity, fairness, and respect, we lay the foundation for enduring peace and collective progress.

These values continue to guide our administration in Kaduna State. We recognise leadership as a sacred trust; one that demands accountability, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of our people. Since assuming office, we have prioritised the restoration of peace and security, working closely with security agencies, traditional institutions, and community leaders to ensure that our citizens can live and work in safety and dignity.

With an unyielding sense of responsibility, I visited Kurmin Wali in Kajuru Local Government Area of our dear State, following the cruel abduction of innocent citizens by criminal elements. The visit was to properly identify and be in tune with the community, to listen with empathy, and to reaffirm that the Government of Kaduna State is resolute in its determination to secure the safe and dignified return of all those taken from their homes.

While in Kurmin Wali, I received a comprehensive briefing on the incident from the traditional ruler, His Highness, the Agwam Kufana, Mr. Dauda Titus, alongside community representatives. I addressed residents who gathered in large numbers, not only to welcome us, but to express collective grief, fear, and hope. I also met victims who sustained injuries during the attack and assured them that the Kaduna State Government will provide full medical care and continued support as they recover.

In keeping with our constitutional duty to protect lives and property, I have formally briefed His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the situation. I also held strategic engagements with the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and the Honourable Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (Rtd). I received firm assurances that all necessary measures are being deployed to secure the release of our people. I further advocated for the establishment of a permanent military base in Kurmin Wali to strengthen security in the community and surrounding areas.

I used this solemn occasion to caution conflict merchants and political opportunists to desist from exploiting the suffering of our people. Such actions undermine unity, weaken trust, and embolden criminality. I thank the people of Kurmin Wali for their resilience, restraint, and confidence in government at this difficult moment.

I reaffirm that Kaduna State remains one indivisible family, united beyond ethnic or religious lines. Our administration will continue to pursue peace, security, and inclusive development. In the coming weeks, construction will commence on a link road and a healthcare centre to improve access and enhance the wellbeing of the community.

Speaking on behalf of the people, the President of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU, Engr. Samuel Tabara, commended our government for compassionate and pragmatic leadership during this difficult defining moment.

Wishing you a happy birthday, sir.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄 HAPPY NEW IN ADVANCE

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

As Christians in Kaduna State and across the world mark the Christmas season, I extend warm greetings to our Christian brothers and sisters, and to all citizens of our dear state. Christmas offers an important moment for reflection on values that speak to our shared humanity; peace, compassion, service, and responsibility to one another. It is also an opportunity for us, as a people, to take stock of our collective journey and renew our commitment to building a Kaduna State that is peaceful, inclusive, and focused on the well-being and progress of every citizen.

In the realm of security, our gallant men and women in uniform, working hand in hand with vigilant communities, continue to labour with courage and sacrifice so that peace may reign. Together, we are illuminating dark corners of fear and uncertainty, restoring confidence to our towns and villages. Our administration remains firmly focused on addressing the root causes of conflict through inclusive governance, dialogue, justice, and targeted social protection.

Economically, Kaduna State is rising, like a star ascending in the night sky. Strategic investments in agriculture, infrastructure, transportation, and enterprise development are yielding tangible results. Our farmers are being empowered, our roads are opening new corridors of commerce, and our youth and women are finding renewed pathways to dignity, productivity, and prosperity.

On the social front, our commitment to education, healthcare, and social welfare remains unwavering. We are expanding access to quality education, strengthening primary healthcare, and cushioning the most vulnerable among us. Our vision is clear: a Kaduna where opportunity is not determined by circumstance, but by effort and aspiration.

Kaduna State is richly diverse in faith, culture, and ethnicity. Managed with wisdom, this diversity shines like a constellation; many stars, distinct yet united, forming something far greater than their individual light. We celebrate our differences, knowing they are the threads that weave our common destiny.

As we mark this sacred season, let us follow the guiding light of love, unity, and service. May Kaduna continue to shine as a model of coexistence, stability, and progress.

To our Christian brothers and sisters, I wish you a joyful and blessed Christmas. To all citizens, let us walk together, guided by hope.
