Feedback to UBA – WAEC/Independent Layout Branch, Enugu
@UBACares@UBAGroup@UBANigeriaPlc
Today, I visited the UBA branch around WAEC/Independent Layout, Enugu, and while I was there, I noticed something that I believe deserves attention.
Throughout my time with Customer Support, I had to remain standing while being attended to. There were no chairs or suitable seating arrangements for customers receiving assistance at the Customer Support desk.
This can be quite uncomfortable, especially for customers who may have to wait for some time before their issues are resolved. Other banks provide seating arrangements that allow customers to sit comfortably while being attended to.
I kindly suggest that UBA consider providing high-standing stools or suitable chairs around the Customer Support area so customers can sit and relax while receiving assistance.
And if UBA is looking for where to get quality high-standing stools, they can as well buy them from us at Mratm Interiors, Enugu. 😄 We would be happy to help upgrade the customer experience at the branch.
UBA is a reputable bank, and small improvements like this can make a significant difference to the overall customer experience.
I hope this feedback reaches the appropriate management team and is considered positively. Thank you.
Today, we take another decisive step in our collective journey towards building a more united, peaceful and inclusive Kaduna State.
After wide consultations, deep reflection and earnest prayers, I am delighted to announce the nomination of Mr. Jerry Adams, FCTI, FNIM, CNA, as my running mate in the 2027 Governorship Election.
This decision is far greater than the selection of a deputy governorship candidate. It is a reaffirmation of the values that have guided our administration since I took the oath of office on 29 May 2023; the values of inclusion, justice, fairness, equity and the unwavering conviction that every citizen of Kaduna State deserves a genuine sense of belonging.
Kaduna is a remarkable state, blessed with extraordinary diversity of faiths, ethnicities and cultures. That diversity is not a burden; it is our greatest strength. Our history has taught us difficult lessons about the heavy cost of division, mistrust and exclusion. Yet it has also shown us that when we choose dialogue over discord, inclusion over alienation, and justice over prejudice, our people achieve extraordinary things together.
For more than three years, our administration has worked tirelessly to heal old wounds and restore confidence in government. We have deliberately ensured that the dividends of democracy reach every part of our State. Across all 23 Local Government Areas, investments in roads, schools, hospitals, water supply, agriculture, rural development and social protection have been guided by one simple principle: no community should be left behind and no citizen should feel excluded.
Together with our traditional rulers, religious leaders, community organisations, women and youth groups, we have strengthened the foundations of peace through dialogue, mutual respect and shared development. As security has improved, farmers have returned to their lands, businesses have expanded, investments have grown and hope has steadily replaced fear in many communities. Our experience has affirmed a simple truth: lasting peace is built not only by security measures but by fairness, inclusion and equal opportunity.
It is in furtherance of this vision that I have chosen Mr. Jerry Adams to join me on this journey.
Jerry Adams is an accomplished public servant, an outstanding tax administrator and an institution builder whose leadership has transformed the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service into one of Nigeria's most respected revenue agencies. Through innovation, transparency & professionalism, he has helped strengthen our fiscal capacity, enabling government to invest even more in the education of our children, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture & other critical sectors that improve the lives of our people.
Beyond his impressive professional accomplishments, Jerry Adams is a man of integrity, humility and quiet strength. He has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to peace, reconciliation and inclusive governance, believing, as I do, that Kaduna's diversity must always unite us rather than divide us. His emergence reflects our continuing determination to build a Kaduna where merit, competence and character remain the true qualifications for leadership.
As we look towards 2027, I invite every son and daughter of Kaduna State to see this moment not through the narrow prism of religion, ethnicity or geography, but through the broader vision of the Kaduna we are building together; a Kaduna where every child can dream without fear, every community can flourish, every faith is respected & every citizen has an equal stake in our common future.
The work of building a peaceful, prosperous and inclusive Kaduna is not yet complete, but together we have laid a solid foundation. Together, we shall continue to strengthen that foundation and hand over to future generations a State that is more united, more secure, more just and more prosperous than we inherited.
May God continue to bless the good people of Kaduna State.
Not too long ago, my life was measured in the anxiety of small numbers. I vividly remember nights when finding just two thousand naira felt like trying to squeeze water from a stone. It wasn’t just about the money; it was the heavy, suffocating feeling of looking at a broken phone screen, an empty wallet, or a looming bill and realizing I was completely stuck. Two thousand naira—a sum some people drop on a casual drink without thinking—was the wall standing between me and peace of mind.
Then, I found Meta Earth. Specifically, I got my #ME730# Meta Earth Pass (ME PASS).
At first, it sounded like just another digital promise in a world full of noise. But I took the leap. I plugged into the ecosystem, claimed my pass, and committed to the journey.
That was exactly 579 days ago.
Five hundred and seventy-nine days of waking up, checking the network, and watching a vision turn into daily reality. I have watched this platform grow, and in tandem, it has watched me reinvent myself. What started as a hopeful click transformed into a steady, reliable lifeline.
Today, the desperate scramble for two thousand naira is a distant, fading memory. Because of Meta Earth, my financial landscape has completely shifted. I no longer look at the future with anxiety; I look at it with strategy. The ME PASS didn't just give me access to a decentralized web or a UBI-powered ecosystem—it gave me my breathing room back. It gave me the leverage to learn, to trade, and to build a life where I dictate the terms, not my financial lack.
579 days. And the best part? We are still counting.

The 2027 General Elections are around the corner, but beyond the ballot box is another important question:
How safe is the personal data of millions of Nigerian voters?
Join for a timely conversation. @DRLI_HQ@teewai_toyin@Kolawole_AO@InibeheEffiong
I am profoundly honoured and deeply humbled by the overwhelming confidence reposed in me by members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), following my emergence as the party’s gubernatorial flag bearer for the 2027 Kaduna State Governorship Election. The resounding affirmation of my candidacy, reflected in the 459,393 votes cast in support of our shared vision, is far more than a political endorsement; it is a solemn expression of collective faith in the ideals of unity, responsible leadership, and inclusive progress that bind us together as a people.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the leader of our great party and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose steadfast leadership and unwavering commitment to national renewal continue to inspire confidence across our nation. I equally acknowledge the National Working Committee of our party, respected stakeholders, delegates, youth and women groups, and the countless loyal party faithful across Kaduna State whose trust and solidarity have made this moment possible.
This outcome renews our collective determination to redouble our efforts at building a Kaduna State defined by peace, security, economic vitality, social justice, and opportunity for all. I dedicate this victory to the resilient and dignified people of Kaduna State, and I reaffirm my commitment to serve with humility, fairness, courage, and compassion as we continue the important work of consolidating the gains achieved since 2023.

It is quite unfortunate how people are often quick to align themselves with narratives designed to tarnish an individual’s reputation, while overlooking the countless positive contributions such individuals have made to society over the years.
Despite the smear campaigns and negative narratives allegedly amplified by certain media platforms, Ahmed Uthman remains widely recognized by many within his community as a philanthropist and humanitarian who has consistently empowered hundreds of people, both men and women, in his hometown.
A proper background check and objective assessment of his track record would have helped many avoid being misled by unverified claims, media sensationalism, and propaganda.
For those willing to look beyond the headlines, here are some of the empowerment initiatives and impactful contributions he has carried out over the years:
It is quite revealing that certain paid media platforms have deliberately chosen to describe Ahmed Uthman as “Dikko’s in-law” rather than simply referring to him by his name. This strongly suggests an intentional effort to drag the Governor into a matter he has absolutely no connection with, while using sensational headlines and misleading narratives to influence public perception.
The reports alleging that Ahmed Uthman was arrested over forex fraud are entirely false, misleading, and politically motivated. What is being circulated is nothing more than a coordinated smear campaign orchestrated by individuals threatened by his growing influence, success, and popularity, with the sole aim of damaging the reputation he has built over the years.
For the record, there has been no official statement from the police, DSS, or any other security agency linking Ahmed Uthman to the allegations being spread by these media outlets. At no point was he arrested or investigated for forex fraud.
The deliberate attempt by certain media organizations to distort a straightforward civil matter into allegations of financial crime is highly irresponsible, unethical, and deeply unprofessional. Journalism should be rooted in facts, credibility, integrity and not political bias, propaganda, or sponsored misinformation intended to tarnish reputations.
I therefore urge the public to disregard these false claims and avoid falling for the coordinated propaganda clearly designed to target and damage Ahmed Uthman’s reputation.

“IN KADUNA’s NEW BANQUET HALL, UBA SANI PARTNERS NIPR TO RECAST NIGERIA’s IMAGE”
By Ibrahim Jibo Yusuf
There are moments in the life of a polity when governance rises above routine administration and acquires a deeper symbolic resonance. Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in Kaduna, was one such moment; an occasion where structure became statement and public leadership found expression through deliberate, purposeful action. At the centre of this convergence stood Governor Uba Sani, whose administration continues to project a steady, reform-oriented vision for the state.
The inauguration of the new Banquet Hall at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House was, in immediate terms, the unveiling of a major public facility. Yet its broader significance lies in what it represents: a space intentionally designed not just for ceremonial use, but as a platform for engagement, policy dialogue, and institutional interaction. It reflects an understanding that governance today requires environments that can convene diverse actors: government officials, private sector leaders, civil society, and development partners, in pursuit of shared objectives.
Set on 2.7 hectares and covering about 5,000 square metres, the Banquet Hall embodies both scale and restraint. Its capacity, accommodating between 800 and 1,000 guests in banquet format and up to 1,300 in theatre arrangement, signals readiness for large-scale gatherings. However, the significance of the structure lies less in its size than in the intentionality of its design.
The facility integrates multiple meeting rooms, a conference suite, and a dedicated Governor’s Office, ensuring that governance functions can proceed seamlessly alongside formal events. Supporting infrastructure; including modern kitchens, service areas, and security systems aligned with global standards, further underscores a design philosophy anchored in efficiency and purpose. The result is a space where aesthetics and functionality are balanced, and where every element contributes to a coherent operational vision.
Naming the hall after Brigadier General Abba Kyari (rtd), a former Military Governor of the old North Central State, adds a historical dimension to the project. This decision reflects a deliberate effort to connect present initiatives with past leadership legacies, reinforcing continuity in governance. It also underscores the importance of institutional memory in shaping contemporary public administration.
The Banquet Hall’s significance became more evident as it hosted key events of the 3rd Nigerian Institute of Public Relations Week (Croc City 2026), organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations. The theme,“Food Security: From Policy Paper to Plate – The Imperative of Public Relations”, captured a central challenge in Nigeria’s development landscape: translating policy intentions into measurable outcomes.
By hosting this event, Kaduna positioned itself as both a venue and a participant in a national conversation about governance, communication, and development. In a context where public trust is often shaped by perception as much as by performance, the role of communication becomes critical. Policies must not only be well designed; they must also be clearly articulated, widely understood, and consistently implemented.
The presence of His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, added national weight to the occasion. In his remarks, he framed the Banquet Hall as more than a physical structure, describing it as evidence of what disciplined leadership can achieve. This perspective situates the project within a broader narrative of governance reform and institutional strengthening.
Infrastructure, when guided by purpose, serves functions beyond its physical utility. It becomes a signal of intent, projecting confidence and inviting engagement. The Banquet Hall exemplifies this dynamic, acting as both a venue for dialogue and a symbol of Kaduna’s developmental aspirations.

If Wadada is really popular and on the ground as some of his supporters have claimed, why then are they posting AI-generated images of him with a large crowd?
This is actually embarrassing. APC is going to have a serious problem in Nasarawa. The Nasarawa APC Chairman has been deceived with AI image
For a state that the party almost lost in 2023, the selection of this unpopular aspirant, who is using AI-generated images to claim popularity is likely going to cost them victory.
The only time you ever see Atiku in Nigeria is during election periods. A man who switches political parties every election year clearly doesn't care about the people. But only in advancing his selfish ambitions.
You will never see him talk about solutions to the economy, insecurity, or the k!llings carried out by fulani terr0rists. A person like that cannot improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
NADF is really driving mechanisation, blended finance, input support for thousands of farmers, and key interventions like the ginger blight response — powering food security & the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Nigeria’s agriculture is rising! 🇳🇬 #RenewedHope
NNPC Multispecialty Hospital (NMSH), Abuja, Welcomes Its First Baby of 2026 on New Year’s Day
