I am filled with joy and pride to share that our tireless efforts in improving healthcare access and service delivery have now been recognized on a global platform. Couple of weeks ago, the SDG Local Action highlighted Kaduna South Local Government in their publication for our deliberate and genuine interventions in healthcare. This recognition affirms that we are not only making progress, we are setting global standards in community-based healthcare delivery.
This achievement is a direct result of the enabling environment provided by His Excellency Governor Sen. Uba Sani CON, through his SUSTAIN Agenda, which we are vigorously implementing here in Kaduna South. We remain committed to doing even more for our people. We will continue to push for greater milestones to keep Kaduna South Local Government on the global stage.

In an interview with DCL Hausa, Nafiu Bola claimed that the Supreme Court declared him as the National Chairman of the ADC.
However, the journalist quickly asked:
“Are you sure you understand what the Supreme Court Justices actually said?”
Lol 😆
I received the representative of Teaching at the Right Level Africa (TARL Africa) on a follow-up visit to review their ongoing interventions in our Local Government.

I met with representatives of Muje Rider, an indigenous transport service provider, who presented their ideas, activities and plans for the formal launch of their operations. This locally built transport business is set to create several direct and indirect jobs for our young people in Kaduna South and across Kaduna State at large. I encouraged them and offered advice on how to align their services with the State Development Plan and His Excellency Governor Uba Sani’s SUSTAIN Agenda, in order to build a strong and sustainable public-private partnership.
We welcome initiatives like this that empower our youth and strengthen our local economy. In Kaduna South, we will continue to support genuine businesses that create opportunities and serve our people.

At Kurmin Mashi community yesterday, I was truly amazed by the beautiful cultural display, the clear proof of intellect among our public school pupils, and the real spirit of community development on full show.

My dear people of Kaduna South,
Following a rumour of tension in some parts of our Local Government, I went out immediately to supervise the situation and ensure calmness across the community. Before my arrival, the involved communities had already resolved the conflict peacefully. I summoned the community elders, stakeholders, and key executives to an emergency security meeting in my office. The meeting was also attended by the Honourable Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Dahiru Liman (representing the concerned community), the Honourable Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Sule Shuaibu SAN, the Honourable Commissioner for Information, Hon. Ahmed Maiyaki, the Chairman of Chikun Local Government, Hon. Engr. Salasi Musa, and representatives of military and paramilitary forces.
We discussed extensively about the tension caused by the rabble of young people, we also strengthened the decisions reached during the community dialogue, and calm has since been fully restored. Commercial activities are going on normally with no tension. I thank His Excellency Governor Uba Sani, CON, for his immediate support in containing the situation. I also thank our stakeholders and community elders for their swift action and wisdom in ensuring peace returned quickly.
Kaduna South is one family, we have shown this time and again through inclusive decision-making and shared responsibility. This peace must be sustained at all costs. As we promised , we will continue to work together to protect every home and every ward. May God bless our unity, our state, and our nation.

Adam Abdulwahab, a talented and innovative young shoe maker from Kaduna South, presented me with a beautiful pair of his handmade shoes. I was excited to see such valuable skill in one of our own young people, already turning it into a business that earns him income. I was even more excited to learn that he balances his shoe-making work with his studies. This is exactly what we want for the youth of Kaduna South.
With over a million potential buyers right here in our local government and millions more beyond our borders, talents like Adam’s show the real economic power our young people hold. Just as global brands like LV, Gucci, and Prada began from humble, skilled hands, we will support and grow local businesses under my leadership, taking them to wider stages. With the strong backing of His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani CON, we are committed to empowering our youth so they harness their potential, create wealth, and build a brighter Kaduna South for all.

I led the Kaduna South Local Government Council meeting to look back on our activities over the past year, draw lessons from what we have achieved, and build stronger momentum for the impactful initiatives planned for 2026. Together with council members, department heads, and key stakeholders, we reviewed our progress in health, education, security, economic empowerment, and governance. We examined what worked well, where we can improve, and how to deliver even more tangible results for our people across every ward.
We also discussed critical developmental plans that will position Kaduna South on the global map. As a young leader who grew up in these same communities, with family, friends, and loved ones here, I feel this responsibility personally. My drive is to transform Kaduna South into a place where our children thrive, talents are nurtured, peace is strengthened, and economic opportunities reach every household. Under the clear direction and SUSTAIN Agenda of His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani CON, we remain focused on listening to you, acting decisively, and making sure every step forward benefits our families and future generations.

Over the weekend, I personally directed the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS), in close collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, to conduct a community outreach and sensitization activities across selected areas. The purpose was to gather direct feedback from our people on how much we are achieving in terms of security, identify black-spots and concerns, and prepare the ground for a robust, active day-and-night patrol operation throughout the forthcoming Ramadan period. We are adopting and building on the same effective mechanism we used during the recent Christmas and New Year celebrations to ensure full protection of lives and properties.
This is in full support of the SUSTAIN Agenda of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani CON, which places strong emphasis on improving security and safeguarding the lives and property of every citizen. The general public is strongly encouraged to report suspicious activities promptly through established channels, your timely information saves lives, especially during this period of increased social and religious gatherings. In partnership with KADVS, the Nigeria Police Force, and all stakeholders, we remain fully committed to preventive security, community trust, and lasting peace in every ward.
