Today, Kaduna State had the honour of hosting the Joint Meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council; a gathering united by one overriding purpose: securing the future of our region and improving the lives of the millions of citizens we are privileged to serve.
Our deliberations were candid, constructive and anchored on a shared recognition that the security challenges confronting Northern Nigeria require far more than isolated responses. They demand uncommon unity, stronger intergovernmental collaboration and sustained engagement with our revered traditional institutions, whose proximity to our communities remains indispensable to building lasting peace.
We reaffirmed our collective support for the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen and improve security across the country and expressed our appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the decisive steps being taken to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture. We also welcomed the significant progress towards the establishment of State Police, a reform that has become both timely and necessary. With the right constitutional safeguards, professional standards and institutional accountability, State Police will strengthen community-based policing and enhance our collective capacity to protect lives and property.
The Forum also inaugurated the Board of Trustees of the Northern Nigeria Security Trust Fund (NNSTF), comprising distinguished security experts and elder statesmen whose expertise will help strengthen regional security coordination. We reaffirmed our collective commitment to sustaining the Trust Fund through monthly contributions of ₦1 billion by member states, reinforcing our shared resolve to build a more coordinated regional security framework.

It was both an honour and a profound privilege to serve as Chief Host at the Grand Finale of the Renewed Hope 2nd Edition of the West African Horse Racing Derby, held at Murtala Muhammed Square, Kaduna. The occasion was further enriched by the distinct responsibility entrusted to me to deliver the goodwill message of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to an august gathering of participants, traditional rulers, distinguished guests, and equestrian enthusiasts from across Nigeria and the West African sub-region. The championship once again demonstrated the remarkable capacity of sport to transcend borders, celebrate our shared heritage, and strengthen the bonds of friendship among our peoples.
The President's message underscored the enduring role of sport as a powerful instrument for promoting national unity, preserving our rich cultural heritage, empowering young people, and advancing regional integration. It also reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Federal Government to harnessing sports as a catalyst for economic growth, social inclusion, youth development, and national cohesion under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
As Governor of Kaduna State, I was delighted to welcome our esteemed guests and to host this prestigious championship in our great State. Our administration remains resolute in prioritising investments in sports infrastructure and youth development because we recognise that sport is far more than recreation. It is a strategic vehicle for peacebuilding, talent development, economic opportunity, and human capital advancement.
I warmly congratulate all the winners on their outstanding performances and commend every participant for exemplifying discipline, excellence, and sportsmanship. I also reaffirmed that horse racing, like every major sporting discipline, must increasingly evolve into a sustainable platform for job creation, enterprise, and youth empowerment. I commend the Horse Racing Federation of Nigeria, the National Sports Commission, and all partners whose vision and dedication have transformed this Derby into one of West Africa's foremost sporting and cultural spectacles.

The People's Governor: Simplicity in Action
Governor Uba Sani's simplicity and inclusive leadership are exactly why the people of Kaduna State hold him in such high regard. He doesn't just govern from behind a desk, he meets people right where they are, bringing real development directly to their communities.
Today's incredible reception in Jaba LGA is a perfect testament to his people-first approach to leadership.
I was particularly encouraged by the heartfelt testimonies of community leaders and other stakeholders, who described these projects as transformative investments that have restored hope, improved mobility and opened new opportunities for commerce, agriculture and social life. Their appreciation strengthens our resolve to continue pursuing a development agenda anchored on fairness, equity and justice, without regard to ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
These roads will improve access to schools, healthcare facilities and markets while supporting agricultural productivity in Nigeria's leading ginger-producing state. Our vision remains unwavering: to build a Kaduna State where every community is included, every citizen is valued, and every part of our State shares equitably in the dividends of sustainable development.

I was delighted to return to Kwoi in Jaba Local Government Area to fulfil a solemn promise made during the groundbreaking ceremony on 11 September 2025 by commissioning the Audu Tilo Road, Sabon Gari Road, Doctor Sani Road, Hospital Road, Kpop Ham Palace Road and the strategic Kwoi–Gora Road. The warmth, enthusiasm and genuine joy with which the people received us were deeply humbling and reaffirmed the enduring bond of trust between our administration and the citizens we are privileged to serve. There is no greater fulfilment in public service than returning to a community to demonstrate that promises made have indeed become promises kept.
For more than two decades, Jaba Local Government Area witnessed no completed road construction and stood among the twelve local government areas that suffered prolonged neglect in critical road infrastructure. Today, that unfortunate chapter has given way to a new era of purposeful development. Since assuming office on 29 May 2023, our administration has initiated 150 road projects spanning more than 1,355 kilometres across all twenty-three local government areas of Kaduna State, with the overwhelming majority already completed.
Whilst others are either attempting to dethrone and remove their traditional rulers or are systematically whitling down, dismantling and undermining their authority and power, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna (@ubasanius) has done the opposite and has instead not only honored and strengthened the Royal fathers in his state but also reinstated and restored those that had hitherto been humiliated and deposed.
This is encouraging and commendable and it speaks volumes about the courage, fortitude and foresight of Uba Sani.
It was an honor and privilege to have met with my Governor @ubasanius yesterday to discuss means and ways to expand on the great work he has been carrying on in Kaduna. This is the sort of leadership we require to restore broken institutions , build wealth for all the great people of Kaduna and to make Kaduna great again!!
