Uba Sani Invests Over N1 Billion in Scholarships, Student Welfare in Three Years

The Kaduna State Government has disclosed that Governor Uba Sani’s administration has invested over N1 billion in scholarships, student loans and educational support programmes within the last three years, significantly expanding access to higher education and easing the financial burden on students across the state.

The Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, made the disclosure while interacting with journalists in Kaduna, describing education as a key pillar of Governor Uba Sani’s human capital development agenda.

According to the Commissioner, one of the administration’s landmark interventions was the signing of an Executive Order reducing tuition fees by 50 per cent across all Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions, a move aimed at making higher education more affordable and accessible to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

Maiyaki revealed that the state government has spent N493.27 million on overseas scholarships for 42 students pursuing studies in critical fields such as medicine, computer science, cybersecurity, engineering and other strategic disciplines.

He further disclosed that N425.52 million has been disbursed in local scholarships to indigent students studying in tertiary institutions across the country. In addition, the administration has committed N105 million to its student loan scheme, while N27.25 million was released to support law graduates with registration fees for the Nigerian Law School.

The Commissioner said the combined impact of the tuition fee reduction, scholarship awards and student loan programmes reflects Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to removing financial barriers to education, strengthening human capital development and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders and professionals in Kaduna State.

He added that the administration’s investments in education are aimed at building a skilled workforce capable of driving innovation, economic growth and sustainable development, while ensuring that no deserving student is denied access to higher education due to financial constraints.

Providing further details, the Executive Secretary of the Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board, Professor Yahaya Saleh Ibrahim, said the scholarship programme has benefited over 21,106 students studying in more than 40 higher institutions, including federal and state universities, polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of education, colleges of health technology and nursing schools.

“The Kaduna State Scholarship Scheme under Governor Uba Sani has witnessed unprecedented growth and transformation over the last three years. Kaduna became the first state in Nigeria to provide not only scholarships but also student loans, expanding access to higher education for thousands of young people,” Prof. Ibrahim said.

He noted that Kaduna State has emerged as a national model in educational support by becoming the first state in Nigeria to operate both scholarship and student loan schemes on a broad scale.

“What makes the initiative even more remarkable is its flexible repayment structure, which allows beneficiaries to choose repayment plans that suit their circumstances, ensuring they can pursue their education without the fear of overwhelming financial burdens,” he stated.

The impact of the programme is already being felt by beneficiaries across the state. A student of the Department of Geography at Kaduna State University (KASU), Al’Ameen Abdul Waheed, expressed gratitude to the state government for the support, describing the scholarship scheme as a lifeline for many students and their families.

“My parents and I no longer have to worry about paying my tuition fees because I know the Kaduna State Scholarship Scheme will support my education. This has lifted a huge burden from my family, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity,” he said.

2026 Hajj Remains My Best Pilgrimage in 45 Years, Says Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha

Yesterday, the Kaduna State 2026 Hajj Delegation, led by Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, visited the Kaduna pilgrims at their hotel in Makkah.

Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha praised the entire Hajj operation, declaring that this year’s pilgrimage is his best since he first performed Hajj 45 years ago.

Alhaji Abubakar, a former Kaduna State Head of Service, who first performed Hajj in 1981 and later led the Kaduna State Delegation as Amirul Hajj in 1999, commended the management of the Kaduna State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, led by Malam Salihu S. Abubakar, for conducting a transparent and hitch-free exercise.

He also praised the pilgrims for their exemplary behaviour, noting that the delegation had not received any reports of unruly conduct. He further urged them to remain disciplined and orderly by following all guidelines issued by the Saudi authorities, which will help accelerate their return journey to Nigeria.

The District Head of Rigasa and Dangaladiman Zazzau, Arc. Mohammed Aminu Idris; the Principal Private Secretary to the Governor, Professor Bello Ayuba; and Islamic clerics Sheikh Imam Tukur Adam Al-Mannar and Sheikh Abdullahi Rabiu Ishaq, all of whom are members of the committee, were part of those who accompanied the leader of the delegation.

Uba Sani Signs 3 Landmark Laws to Transform Energy, Agriculture, and Climate Governance in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Government has described the signing of three strategic laws by Governor Senator Uba Sani, CON, as a major milestone in the State’s drive to accelerate economic growth, strengthen institutions, and promote sustainable development.

In a statement issued by the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the Government said the newly enacted Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026, Kaduna State Agricultural Development Fund (KADFund) Law, 2025, and Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026 provide a comprehensive framework for transforming the State’s energy, agriculture, and environmental sectors.

Speaking on the development, Deputy Chief of Staff, Legal and Legislative Matters to the Governor, Dr. Mustapha Musa, described the three laws as one of Kaduna State’s most transformative governance reform packages, aimed at expanding energy access, accelerating agricultural growth, strengthening climate resilience, and driving sustainable economic development through strong institutions.

The Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026 establishes the Kaduna State Electricity Regulatory Commission to oversee electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and supply within the State, while creating opportunities for private-sector investment, renewable energy development, and improved access to electricity.

The KADFund Law, 2025 creates a dedicated financing mechanism to support farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and agricultural value-chain actors through grants, soft loans, technical assistance, and investments in critical infrastructure aimed at boosting food security and agricultural productivity.

Similarly, the Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026 establishes a state-level framework for climate action, environmental sustainability, climate finance mobilization, and the integration of climate considerations into development planning, reinforcing Kaduna’s commitment to sustainable development.

Maiyaki said the three laws collectively underscore the administration’s vision of building resilient institutions capable of driving inclusive growth, attracting investment, expanding opportunities, and delivering lasting benefits to citizens.

He noted that the landmark legislations reflect Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to laying the foundations for a prosperous, sustainable, and competitive Kaduna State through electricity sector reform, agricultural transformation, and climate-responsive governance.

According to him, the reforms establish the institutional framework needed to strengthen food security, improve living standards, and position Kaduna as a model for innovation, sustainable development, and effective subnational governance.

Kaduna Ranks Among Nigeria’s Top Three Performing States as Independent Assessments Validate Reform Agenda

The Kaduna State Government has welcomed the outcome of the 2025 Phillips Consulting State Performance Index (pSPI), which ranked Kaduna State 3rd nationally and awarded it an Excellent Four-Star Rating, placing it among Nigeria’s highest-performing states.

In a statement issued by the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the Government described the ranking as an independent validation of the reform-driven and people-centred policies being implemented by the administration of Governor Uba Sani.

According to the Commissioner, the ranking reflects measurable progress in governance, fiscal management, economic development, infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture, security, and social inclusion.

"This recognition is significant because it comes from an independent and credible assessment that combines objective performance indicators with citizen feedback. It confirms that Kaduna State is making steady progress in strengthening institutions, improving governance outcomes, and expanding opportunities for its citizens," Malam Maiyaki said.

The Commissioner noted that the latest ranking adds to a growing list of independent recognitions received by Kaduna State. Earlier in the year, the state emerged Number One in Nigeria on the 2025 Transparency and Integrity Index (TII) published by the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity (CeFTPI), while also recording the country's highest score on the Control of Corruption Indicator.

The Commissioner further said the recognitions reflect the impact of ongoing reforms and investments across critical sectors.

"These rankings are encouraging because they demonstrate that our efforts are yielding measurable results. However, our focus remains on improving the lives of our people through inclusive development, economic empowerment, quality service delivery, and sustainable peace," the statement stated.

Malam Maiyaki reaffirmed the commitment of Governor Uba Sani’s administration towards building a peaceful, prosperous, transparent, and globally competitive Kaduna State, while sustaining reforms that will deliver greater benefits to citizens.

The Kaduna State Government expressed appreciation to citizens, development partners, traditional and religious institutions, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders whose support continues to contribute to the state's progress and development.

“REFLECTIONS ON UBA SANI’s THREE YEARS OF TRANSFORMATION LEADERSHIP IN KADUNA STATE”

By Tahir Ahmad Saliu

Three years ago, when Senator Uba Sani was sworn in as Governor of Kaduna State on May 29, 2023, he inherited a state facing challenges far beyond the ordinary demands of governance. Kaduna was weighed down by insecurity, fiscal pressures, economic disruption, and deep social divisions.

Banditry, kidnapping, and violent attacks had become recurring threats across many communities. Thousands of farmers had abandoned their fields, rural economies were struggling, and public confidence in government had diminished. Yet beyond these visible problems lay an even greater challenge: the erosion of trust among the people.

Years of ethno-religious tensions had left deep scars on Kaduna’s social fabric. Communities increasingly retreated into identities defined by ethnicity, religion, and geography. Political discourse often deepened divisions rather than building consensus. In many respects, Kaduna appeared trapped in a cycle of insecurity, mistrust, and uncertainty.

Many expected the new governor to spend his tenure explaining away inherited difficulties. Others predicted years of political recrimination and blame. Instead, Uba Sani chose a different path. He refused to become a prisoner of circumstance and embraced the harder task of rebuilding confidence and restoring hope.

Rather than dwelling on the failures of the past, he focused on the possibilities of the future. Rather than governing through resentment, he pursued reconciliation. Rather than exploiting existing divisions, he sought to heal them.

His governing philosophy was captured in a statement that has since become synonymous with his administration: “We chose dialogue over division, inclusion over exclusion, compassion over bitterness, and service over propaganda.” Few political declarations have been reflected more consistently in governance outcomes.

Three years later, Kaduna’s transformation is visible not only in physical infrastructure but also in the renewed confidence of its people. Indeed, Governor Uba Sani’s greatest achievement may not be measured solely in roads, hospitals, or budgetary statistics. It may be found in the restoration of trust and the rebuilding of social harmony across one of Nigeria’s most diverse states.

When he assumed office, Kaduna remained burdened by longstanding ethno-religious fault lines. The old divisions between communities often shaped public perception and political engagement. Uba Sani consciously rejected that trajectory.

“My dear people, Kaduna State belongs to all of us. Our diversity is not a weakness; it is our greatest strength,” he declared.

Those words were more than political rhetoric; they became a governing principle. Across the state, development projects, social investments, and public interventions increasingly reflected a deliberate commitment to fairness and inclusivity. Communities that once felt excluded now see themselves as stakeholders in a common future.

The long-standing and politically charged divide between Kaduna North and Southern Kaduna has gradually lost some of its potency because the administration has consistently promoted what may be described as the politics of belonging. Inclusion has replaced exclusion as a central theme of governance.

This philosophy is perhaps most evident in the administration’s approach to security.

At the beginning of his tenure, insecurity represented one of Kaduna’s greatest challenges. Entire communities lived in fear. Agricultural activities declined. Markets suffered disruptions, and schools struggled to operate in affected areas.

Governor Sani understood that while security operations were necessary, sustainable peace required more than military action alone. Lasting stability, he argued, must rest on justice, fairness, opportunity, and mutual respect.

Governor Uba Sani has completed all his Hajj rituals in excellent health and offered earnest prayers for the continued peace, unity, and prosperity of Kaduna State.

In a historic move, His Excellency personally visited Kaduna State pilgrims.

Remarkably, he is the first sitting governor to do so since 1999—a thoughtful gesture that brought immense joy and a deep sense of pride to Kaduna State pilgrims.

During the visit, Governor Uba Sani toured all the pilgrims' tents in Muna, enquired about their welfare and generously gifted each of them 300 Saudi Riyals from his personal funds.

Demonstrating his compassionate leadership, the Governor also took time to visit and comfort a sick pilgrim who was receiving care .

May Allah (SWT) accept his Hajj, reward his generosity, and answer all our prayers, Aameen.
