Ya Allah! As we witness this blessed Jumaโah, fill our hearts with faith, our souls with tranquility, and our lives with Your endless mercy. Forgive our sins, accept our prayers, ease our burdens, and open for us doors of goodness that no one can close. Make us among those who remember You often, trust You completely, and depart this world with Your pleasure. Ameen.

It was a privilege to deliver the keynote address and participate in the panel discussion at the National Security Roundtable on Constitutional Reform and the Establishment of State Police Services, organised by the National Assembly Library Trust Fund in Abuja. The Roundtable brought together an eminent gathering of security practitioners, legislators, constitutional scholars, policymakers and other distinguished stakeholders to deliberate on one of the most consequential institutional reforms before our nation. At a time when Nigeria's security challenges are becoming increasingly complex and multidimensional, such thoughtful engagement is essential to shaping a constitutional and institutional framework that is both responsive to present realities and resilient enough to meet future demands.
In my keynote address, I reaffirmed my support for the establishment of State Police as a vital component of a more effective and responsive national security architecture. I stressed, however, that the success of this reform will depend not merely on constitutional amendment, but on building institutions anchored on professionalism, accountability, operational independence and robust constitutional safeguards.
I emphasised that State Police should complement, not replace, the Nigeria Police Force, with both institutions operating within a coordinated framework founded on collaboration, intelligence sharing and clearly defined constitutional responsibilities. I also underscored the imperative of nationally benchmarked recruitment and training standards, technology-driven policing, independent oversight and sustainable funding.
Drawing from our experience in Kaduna State, I observed that lasting security is built through trust, dialogue, inclusion, community partnership and intelligence-led policing. I remain convinced that a carefully designed State Police system will deepen federalism, strengthen democratic governance and significantly enhance the protection of lives and property across our country.

It was a great honour to serve as Wali at the wedding fatiha of the children of our revered Islamic scholars, Sheikh Yusuf Muhammad Sambo Rigachikun, as well as Sheikh Ibrahim Muhammad Jalo Jalingo . The ceremony was held at the Sheikh Abubakar Ahmad Gumi Jumaโat Mosque in Rigachikun, Kaduna State, and was a beautiful gathering of faith, family and community.
I warmly congratulate Aisha Yusuf Sambo and Muhammad Jalo Jalingo, Maryam Yusuf Sambo, Fatima Yusuf Sambo, and Ummukhultum Yusuf Sambo, as well as their spouses, on this joyous milestone.
I pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) blesses their unions with love, peace, understanding and abundant barakah and make their marriages among the best. Ameen.
Governor Uba Sani attended the Access Bank Charity Polo Tournament in London, which is raising funds to build 120 classroom blocks in Kaduna State and expand free education to an additional 14,000 children, building on support already provided to over 14,000 children through Access Bank, Fifth Chukker, UNICEF and the Kaduna State Government.
He highlighted Kadunaโs reduction of out-of-school children from over 550,000 to fewer than 190,000. Says the State Government is committed to partnerships that invests in its people.

I pay tribute to the late Herbert Wigwe, whose vision helped transform a prestigious sporting event into one of Africa's most inspiring platforms for educational philanthropy. May Almighty God continue to grant him and his departed family members eternal rest. I also commend the current leadership of Access Bank, led by my dear friend, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, for preserving and advancing this noble vision with conviction and purpose.
This initiative aligns closely with our educational transformation agenda in Kaduna State, where we have reduced the number of out-of-school children from over 550,000 to fewer than 190,000 through sustained investments in schools, teachers and learning infrastructure. Education remains the surest foundation for lasting peace, shared prosperity and inclusive development, and Kaduna State will continue to embrace partnerships that expand opportunity and secure a brighter future for every child.

It was my pleasure to receive the Chairman and members of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), led by Dr. Mohammed Bello Shehu, OFR, an illustrious son of Kaduna State, at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna.
Our engagement centred on strengthening Nigeria's fiscal architecture, enhancing revenue mobilisation, and advancing a revenue allocation system that is equitable, transparent and fiscally sustainable. These are essential pillars for building resilient institutions and accelerating national development.
During our discussions, I highlighted the significant progress Kaduna State has recorded through deliberate reforms, prudent financial management and sustained investments in human capital. From expanding internally generated revenue to strengthening healthcare delivery and broadening access to quality education, our focus remains on ensuring that sound public finance translates into tangible improvements in the lives of our people.
I was particularly encouraged by Dr. Shehu's generous assessment of Kaduna State's development trajectory and his recognition of our administration's achievements across security, infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, social inclusion and economic growth. His affirmation of Kaduna's place as Nigeria's leading sub-national government, and his appreciation of our partnership with the Commission, further strengthen our resolve to deepen reforms, consolidate fiscal resilience, improve service delivery, and deliver lasting, measurable progress for every citizen of Kaduna State.
