I recently conducted a thorough inspection of the environmental degradation and gully erosion site in Rigasa, Kaduna State, a pressing issue that has persisted for over 30 years. This relentless challenge has claimed lives, devastated livelihoods, and exposed communities to significant environmental hazards and safety risks, all without sufficient intervention.

In response, I am pleased to announce that the Kaduna State Government, through the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, will initiate a comprehensive intervention aimed at reclaiming degraded lands, restoring livelihoods, and fostering a healthier, safer environment for residents along the affected corridor.

This ambitious project will span a 17-kilometer stretch across the Igabi and Kaduna South Local Government Areas, covering Rigasa and other communities along the corridor, which are predominantly urban-poor communities that make significant contributions to the economic growth and development of Kaduna State. The project has an approved contract sum of N34 billion, and the necessary funding has been secured to ensure a seamless implementation process. Groundbreaking is scheduled to occur in two weeks, with project completion anticipated within 18 months.

While the construction will impact over 1,200 households, we have allocated more than N2 billion for compensation and resettlement support. This initiative will not only create direct and indirect employment opportunities but also stimulate economic activity and enhance the quality of life for our citizens. Upon completion, the project is expected to directly benefit and positively impact more than 2 million people living and working within the affected corridor and surrounding communities.

As Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ekiti State Governorship Campaign Council, I have since arrived in Ado-Ekiti ahead of the APC Grand Rally and the forthcoming governorship election. I was graciously welcomed by our gubernatorial candidate and Governor of Ekiti State, His Excellency Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.

Upon my arrival, I convened a strategic meeting with Governor Oyebanji and key stakeholders to assess our preparedness for the rally and the election. I also conducted a thorough assessment of the rally venue, where I observed a commendable level of organisation and enthusiasm among our party members.

As the Chairman of the Campaign Council, I am unwavering in my commitment to delivering this mandate successfully. This campaign aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and I am confident that, through unity, diligence, and dedication, the APC will secure a resounding victory at the Ekiti polls.

I am deeply encouraged by the remarkable turnout and enthusiasm displayed by the people of Ekiti State at the APC Campaign Grand Rally. The vibrant participation of our supporters underscores the unwavering confidence the Ekiti populace has in the leadership of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and the visionary ideals of our great party. The rally was graced by the presence of the Vice President , His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, alongside fellow governors, esteemed party leaders, members of the National Campaign Council, and key stakeholders.

The enthusiastic response from the crowd fortifies our commitment to achieving a target of no fewer than 500,000 votes for Governor Oyebanji in the upcoming governorship election this weekend. This confidence is anchored in his commendable record of service, which includes the timely payment of salaries and pensions, substantial investments in education and healthcare, and policies designed to enhance the welfare of citizens across the state.

I would also like to acknowledge the visionary leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose bold reforms are empowering states and establishing a robust foundation for sustainable national development. The deep passion witnessed at the rally is a testament to the increasing trust in APC leadership at both the state and national levels.

I had the distinct honour of delivering the welcome address at the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) Retreat for National Mobilisation in my capacity as Deputy Director-General, Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation. This retreat served as a vital forum for party leaders, governors, legislators, ministers, and other key stakeholders to cultivate a more cohesive approach to national mobilisation and grassroots engagement.

Our discussions were centered on enhancing the connection between governance and the citizenry, while establishing a unified framework for articulating the objectives and impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda across our nation.

A significant outcome of this gathering was the acknowledgment of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose bold reforms are steering our nation toward economic stabilization, infrastructure advancement, institutional resilience, and sustainable growth. It was a consensus among participants that these remarkable achievements must be strategically amplified and effectively communicated to reach Nigerians at the grassroots level.

As we concluded, we emerged with a renewed commitment to unity, coordination, and sustained engagement, all aimed at advancing national development and ensuring the enduring success of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“DEMOCRACY DAY 2026: DEFENDING DEMOCRACY, STRENGTHENING UNITY, SECURING THE FUTURE”

My Esteemed Citizens of Kaduna State,

Today, on June 12, 2026, we stand in solidarity with our fellow Nigerians, both at home and abroad, to commemorate Democracy Day; a day that encapsulates sacrifice, courage, freedom, and national unity. This moment invites us to honour the countless men and women whose unwavering struggles have ensured that democratic governance prevails over authoritarianism. It is also a time for deep reflection on our nation’s journey, a celebration of our progress, and a renewed commitment to forge a stronger, more united, and prosperous Nigeria.

June 12 holds a singular place in the annals of our national history. The historic election of June 12, 1993, revealed the extraordinary capacity of Nigerians to transcend ethnic, religious, and regional divisions in pursuit of a shared national destiny. Though that democratic mandate was unjustly annulled, the sacrifices that ensued ignited a national movement, ultimately restoring constitutional rule and laying the foundation for the freedoms we cherish today.

As one who actively participated in the pro-democracy struggle, I reflect with profound respect and deep gratitude on the sacrifices made by luminaries such as the clear winner of the Presidential Election of June 12, 1993, Chief MKO Abiola, GCFR, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, GCON, Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti, Hajiya Kudirat Abiola, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Col. Dangiwa Umar (Rtd) and many other patriots who risked their liberty, comfort, and, in some instances, their very lives in defense of democracy. Their courage serves as a timeless reminder that freedom is never free, and democracy must never be taken for granted.

This year’s celebration bears particular significance, as it marks over twenty-seven years of uninterrupted democratic governance under the Fourth Republic; the longest period of constitutional rule in Nigeria’s history. During this epoch, our nation has successfully conducted seven consecutive general elections, witnessed peaceful transfers of power at both national and sub-national levels, and demonstrated that democratic institutions can endure, adapt, and strengthen over time. The right of citizens to freely associate, organize, form political parties, forge alliances, contest elections, and engage in governance remains one of the crowning achievements of our democracy.

As we revel in these accomplishments, we must remain vigilant. Across Africa and particularly in our West African sub-region, constitutional governance has faced increasing pressure from anti-democratic forces, leading to unconstitutional changes in government. These developments remind us that democracy cannot thrive in complacency; it must be actively defended by citizens, institutions, and leaders who uphold the rule of law, constitutionalism, and the supremacy of the people's mandate.

Thus, we must resolutely reject all forms of anti-democratic tendencies and resist any romantic notions of military rule. While democracy may sometimes appear slow or imperfect, it remains the most effective system for managing our diversity, protecting fundamental rights, promoting accountability, and ensuring peaceful political succession. Under democracy, citizens enjoy the freedom to choose their leaders, express their opinions, and pursue change through constitutional means rather than coercion.

[Senator Uba Sani @ubasanius]

In exercising the Prerogative of Mercy bestowed upon me by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended), I am pleased to announce the granting of clemency to 97 eligible inmates of the Kaduna Medium Security Custodial Centre, as part of our 2026 Democracy Day celebrations. This decision embodies our unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and compassion, particularly for those vulnerable citizens whose socio-economic circumstances may have played a role in their incarceration. We firmly believe that every individual merits a second chance and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

I implore the beneficiaries to embrace this opportunity with responsibility, to cultivate good character, and to acquire skills that will enable them to positively impact society. My administration is steadfast in its commitment to support their rehabilitation and reintegration. It is never too late for them to become valuable members of their families and communities.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the Judiciary, the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Legal Aid Council, security agencies, traditional and religious leaders, civil society organizations, and the Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy for their invaluable contributions to the success of this initiative. Together, we are forging a Kaduna State where justice is harmonized with mercy, where compassion enriches accountability, and where every citizen has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our collective growth and development.

In line with our administration’s commitment to enhancing the operations of the Kaduna Custodial Centre, I have directed the immediate deployment of essential medical supplies and the provision of an operational vehicle to bolster its effectiveness, as we identify and address other critical areas of need.

Governor, Kaduna State.

I had the honor of serving as Chief Host at the Wedding Fatiha of Zainab Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar and her groom, Ibrahim Iro Danfuloti, which took place shortly after Juma’at prayers at the Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna.

I was pleased to serve as the Waliyy of the bride, Zainab, the beloved daughter of my friend, Malam Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar (MaiRago), while my brother and colleague, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, graciously served as the Wakil of the groom. Following the solemnization, I hosted distinguished guests at a reception held at the Abba Kyari Banquet Hall, Kaduna.

I wish the newlyweds a happy and blessed married life, and pray that Allah makes their union among the best. Ameen

“KADUNA SCORES ANOTHER BIG WIN UNDER UBA SANI”

By Raheem Braimah

The recent announcement of the 2025 Phillips Consulting State Performance Index (pSPI) has illuminated Kaduna State’s remarkable progress, ranking it third nationally and awarding it an Excellent Four-Star Rating. This accolade not only showcases the state’s achievements but also serves as an independent validation of the transformative and inclusive leadership exemplified by Governor Uba Sani since he assumed office on May 29, 2023.

The significance of this ranking is profound. It reflects measurable advancements in governance, fiscal management, economic development, infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture, security, and social inclusion. Utilising a robust methodology that combines objective performance indicators with citizen feedback, the assessment illustrates Kaduna’s substantial strides in critical areas vital to the well-being of its citizens.

Governor Sani’s leadership style has been characterized by a commitment to dialogue, inclusion, and meaningful service over mere propaganda. This approach resonates deeply in a state previously beset by insecurity and social fragmentation. Upon assuming office, Sani faced a daunting landscape where banditry and violent attacks had become commonplace, leading to a crisis of confidence among the populace. Rather than succumbing to despair, he chose to rebuild trust through focused initiatives.

A cornerstone of Governor Sani’s security strategy is the Kaduna Peace Model. By working closely with security agencies, traditional leaders, and local stakeholders, the administration has adopted a holistic approach to peace-building, addressing not only immediate security threats but also their underlying causes. This multidimensional strategy has yielded impressive results, with reports indicating a significant reduction in violent crime rates. Communities previously paralysed by fear are regaining their confidence, farmers are returning to their fields, and schools that once faced disruptions are now operational.

In fiscal management, the Governor Sani administration has exhibited remarkable discipline. Faced with substantial debt obligations, the governor opted for restraint, prioritizing fiscal sustainability over short-term gains. This prudent governance approach has seen Kaduna State repay more than ₦90 billion in inherited debts without incurring new loans, a feat that underscores responsible governance. The administration’s commitment to transparency has fostered investor confidence, enhancing revenue collection and reducing dependency on external funding sources.

Equally remarkable has been the restoration of confidence in Kaduna’s financial management architecture. Under Uba Sani, transparency and accountability ceased to be rhetorical ornaments and became measurable governance principles. For two consecutive years, Kaduna emerged as Nigeria’s most transparent and accountable state, according to the Transparency and Integrity Index released by the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity, supported by the MacArthur Foundation.

This ranking was not accidental. Kaduna institutionalized open procurement systems, strengthened citizen engagement frameworks, expanded fiscal transparency mechanisms, and deepened the Open Government Partnership framework through its extended State Action Plan III covering 2024–2027. Governance increasingly became participatory rather than opaque.

Perhaps nowhere is the administration’s reformist instinct more visible than in revenue generation. At the time Governor Sani assumed office, Kaduna’s monthly internally generated revenue hovered around ₦5 billion. Through tax reforms, automation, expansion of the tax net, and improved ease of doing business, Kaduna rapidly emerged as the leading internally generated revenue-performing state in Northern Nigeria.

KADUNA GOVERNMENT SETS NEW STANDARD IN PILGRIMS’ WELFARE AHEAD OF 2026 HAJJ OPERATIONS

The Kaduna State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, intensified preparations for the 2026 Hajj exercise as part of its commitment to pilgrims’ welfare and quality service delivery. Ahead of the inaugural flight scheduled for Wednesday, 13th May 2026, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Malam Sani Kila, alongside the Special Adviser on Islamic Affairs, Ustaz Abdulrahman Hunain, conducted an inspection tour of the Kaduna State Hajj Transit Camp to assess the level of preparedness for the exercise.

During the visit, the delegation expressed satisfaction with the state of facilities and operational arrangements at the transit camp, describing it as one of the most modern and best-equipped Hajj transit facilities in Nigeria. The Chief of Staff commended Governor Uba Sani for prioritizing the welfare of intending pilgrims and providing the necessary support that strengthened the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency and improved service delivery.

The delegation toured accommodation facilities, medical units, registration and documentation centers, feeding areas, security arrangements, and luggage handling sections. Malam Sani Kila emphasized the importance of professionalism, discipline, and proper coordination among officials and service providers, stressing that Kaduna State remained committed to ensuring a smooth, safe, and successful pilgrimage exercise for all intending pilgrims.

Also speaking during the visit, Ustaz Abdulrahman Hunain applauded the level of organization and urged intending pilgrims to cooperate with officials and pray for peace, unity, and progress in Kaduna State and Nigeria.

The inspection visit reflected the administration’s determination to deliver a seamless Hajj operation while further positioning Kaduna State as one of the leading states in Hajj administration and pilgrims’ welfare in Nigeria.
