NEW CHAPTER OF HOPE AND UNITY”
By Morrison Atigogo
On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani clocked a significant milestone—his 55th birthday. The occasion did not only draw heartfelt tributes from across Nigeria but also highlighted the transformative leadership that has redefined governance in Kaduna State. It was characterized by a deluge of moving tributes, all celebrating and espousing the milk of kindness and humanity flowing in Governor Uba Sani’s veins; his uncommon vision that transcends ethno-religious divides; the show of true political will-power and the unflinching display of courage to do the right things for the benefit of all; the passion to always foster unity among the people and ensure peaceful co-existence and the prosperity and development of all people in the state and above all, the celebration of the emergence of visionary and inclusive leadership to which all can relate.
Interestingly, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led the pack in showering heartfelt eulogies on the governor who is simply loved to bits by his people and well-spoken of throughout the country and beyond. In a detailed tribute he personally signed on December 30, 2025, President Tinubu painted a vivid portrait of Governor Uba Sani as a steadfast democrat, reformer, and compassionate leader.
Echoing the sentiments of many who took paid adverts in national newspapers to express their goodwill messages and sing the praises of the governor, President Tinubu underscored how Kaduna has indeed turned a new chapter under Uba Sani’s stewardship, emerging from past challenges into an era of unity, progress, and renewed hope.
President Tinubu referred to Governor Uba Sani as “my younger brother and friend in the struggle for democracy in Nigeria.” He reflected on Uba Sani’s early commitment to noble causes, noting, “The life, struggles, and triumphs of Governor Uba Sani glisten with golden lessons, especially for our younger ones. As a young man, he identified a noble purpose for his life: the quest for a free and egalitarian society. It was a cause that some of us chose not for personal gain or self-promotion, but for the betterment of our society and the freedom of our people.”
This theme of principled sacrifice runs deep in Tinubu’s message. He described the Governor as part of “a rare generation of leaders whose journey into power was preceded by sacrifice and principle.” The president said during the dark days of military rule, Governor Sani emerged as a pro-democracy activist who “stood firmly on the side of justice, freedom, and national unity.” He emphasizes that “at a time when fear was widespread and silence tempting, he—like a few of us—chose the more challenging path of conviction.” And noted that even in power, Uba Sani has not strayed from this essential point, instead “it has matured into statesmanship, guiding his conduct in office with humility, empathy and resolve.”
Governor Uba Sani’s legislative tenure as a senator in the 9th National Assembly has been hailed as a period of profound impact. And no less a person than President Tinubu praised him for the feat he achieved during the period. He declared Uba Sani as “a reformist lawmaker and a thinker,” particularly for his role in the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020.
This legislation, according to the President, “demonstrated foresight and a deep understanding of Nigeria’s future. That legislation strengthened financial stability, embraced innovation, laid a solid foundation for fintech growth and expanded access to credit for businesses and entrepreneurs. It remains a testament to his capacity to deliver enduring reforms.” Such eloquent tributes from the President of the country speak volumes.

My dear brothers and sisters, citizens of Kaduna State, and fellow Nigerians,
As we draw the curtain on the year 2025 and welcome the dawn of a new year filled with promise, I extend warm greetings and sincere goodwill to you all. Above all, I give thanks to God Almighty for His abiding grace, protection, and guidance over our state and nation. I am profoundly grateful to the people of Kaduna State for your trust, love, cooperation, and collective resolve, which made 2025 a year of peace, stability, and steady progress.
The year we leave behind was not without its challenges. Economic pressures and security concerns tested our endurance, but we stood firm: united by faith, strengthened by resilience, and inspired by hope. Together, we demonstrated once again that Kaduna State draws its greatest strength from its diversity, its unity of purpose, and the unbreakable spirit of its people.
Over the past years, our administration has remained deliberate and unwavering in restoring peace and stability across Kaduna State. Since 2023, our state has recorded zero violent conflict; an achievement anchored on our home-grown Kaduna Peace Model, which prioritises dialogue, community engagement, early-warning systems, and coordinated security response. For us, peace is not merely the absence of violence; it is the foundation upon which trust, development, and shared prosperity are built.
With peace restored, life has returned to normalcy across our communities. Farmers are back on their farmlands, children have returned to schools, markets are thriving, and families once displaced by fear are rebuilding their lives with dignity and renewed hope.
In 2025, we pursued governance with discipline, transparency, and compassion. Kaduna State ranked among the top three performing states nationally in independent assessments and retained its position as Nigeria’s number one state on the Transparency and Integrity Index for the second consecutive year. Our improved international standing reflects renewed global confidence in our reforms and affirms a simple truth: progress is most sustainable when built on integrity.
At the heart of our development agenda is the wellbeing of our people. We invested heavily in healthcare by revitalising hospitals and primary healthcare centres, deploying modern equipment, recruiting and motivating health workers, and more than doubling health insurance coverage. The completion of the 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital stands as a landmark achievement in strengthening specialist healthcare delivery. Our commitment remains clear: no resident of Kaduna State should be denied healthcare because of cost or distance.
We also took deliberate steps to restore dignity to labour. In fulfilment of our promise of fairness and social justice, we implemented the new minimum wage and approved a 70 percent salary increase for staff of state-owned tertiary institutions. Conditions of service for health workers were improved, while retirement benefits for academic and non-academic staff were enhanced. A state that seeks progress must honour those who serve it.
To ease the daily burdens of our people, we introduced the Free CNG Mass Transit Scheme. Within months, it transported over 1.4 million passengers and saved households billions of naira in transport costs. Encouraged by its impact, we approved its indefinite continuation, because governance must translate into tangible improvements in everyday life.
We remained equally committed to rebuilding lives shattered by insecurity. Through partnerships with development organisations, we delivered free housing units to victims of banditry, restoring shelter, stability, and hope. Development, for us, must heal as well as build.
On this auspicious last day of the year, as I quietly mark my 55th birthday, I have been deeply moved by the overwhelming outpouring of goodwill, prayers, and kind messages from across Kaduna State, Nigeria, and beyond. I am truly humbled, profoundly touched, and sincerely grateful to every one of you who took the time to celebrate me with words of encouragement, affection, and goodwill.
Birthdays are moments for reflection, and this one has offered me the rare privilege of pausing to appreciate the grace of God in my life and the generosity of people whose love I do not take for granted. Your messages reminded me that public service, when rooted in sincerity and purpose, forges bonds that transcend politics and position. For this, I thank you most warmly.
I am particularly grateful to our leader, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his exceptionally warm and thoughtful birthday message. Beyond the tribute itself, I was deeply touched by his fatherly prayers, encouragement, and goodwill. His words strengthened my spirit and reinforced my resolve to continue serving with humility, courage, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of good governance and national progress. I remain profoundly appreciative of his leadership, trust, and personal kindness. I also deeply appreciate the felicitation from the mother of our dear nation, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON. Her message was warm and truly motherly, and I receive it with gratitude.
My heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, my brother, the Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, PhD, GCON, for his kind words and goodwill, as well as to my dear colleagues, Governors across the country; Distinguished Senators; Members of the House of Representatives; Honourable Ministers; and Members of the Kaduna State House of Assembly who honoured me with messages and prayers. I am equally grateful to heads of institutions, political and party leaders nationwide, and respected elders whose encouragement I hold in very high esteem.
I am also grateful to the highly esteemed members of my original constituency: the civil society ecosystem in Nigeria. Your goodwill messages came in torrent. I reiterate that even while occupying public office, I will remain steadfast to our cause; which is upholding human dignity, at all times, through democratic institutions.
To the good people of Kaduna State, your love means more to me than words can adequately convey. From our towns and cities to our rural communities, your prayers and messages reflect a bond of trust and shared destiny that I treasure deeply. You continue to inspire me to serve with empathy, fairness, and an abiding sense of responsibility.
I pray most earnestly that Almighty God rewards you all abundantly for your kindness. May He grant each of you long life, good health, peace, and the grace to be celebrated in your own seasons of joy and fulfilment.
The love shown to me today has renewed my sense of purpose and strengthened my determination to redouble my efforts in the service of Kaduna State and our beloved country. It is my firm resolve to continue working, with integrity and compassion, to help build a Kaduna and a Nigeria that offer opportunity, dignity, and hope to all always.

Governor, Kaduna State
December 31, 2025
As Christians in Kaduna State and across the world mark the Christmas season, I extend warm greetings to our Christian brothers and sisters, and to all citizens of our dear state. Christmas offers an important moment for reflection on values that speak to our shared humanity; peace, compassion, service, and responsibility to one another. It is also an opportunity for us, as a people, to take stock of our collective journey and renew our commitment to building a Kaduna State that is peaceful, inclusive, and focused on the well-being and progress of every citizen.
In the realm of security, our gallant men and women in uniform, working hand in hand with vigilant communities, continue to labour with courage and sacrifice so that peace may reign. Together, we are illuminating dark corners of fear and uncertainty, restoring confidence to our towns and villages. Our administration remains firmly focused on addressing the root causes of conflict through inclusive governance, dialogue, justice, and targeted social protection.
Economically, Kaduna State is rising, like a star ascending in the night sky. Strategic investments in agriculture, infrastructure, transportation, and enterprise development are yielding tangible results. Our farmers are being empowered, our roads are opening new corridors of commerce, and our youth and women are finding renewed pathways to dignity, productivity, and prosperity.
On the social front, our commitment to education, healthcare, and social welfare remains unwavering. We are expanding access to quality education, strengthening primary healthcare, and cushioning the most vulnerable among us. Our vision is clear: a Kaduna where opportunity is not determined by circumstance, but by effort and aspiration.
Kaduna State is richly diverse in faith, culture, and ethnicity. Managed with wisdom, this diversity shines like a constellation; many stars, distinct yet united, forming something far greater than their individual light. We celebrate our differences, knowing they are the threads that weave our common destiny.
As we mark this sacred season, let us follow the guiding light of love, unity, and service. May Kaduna continue to shine as a model of coexistence, stability, and progress.
To our Christian brothers and sisters, I wish you a joyful and blessed Christmas. To all citizens, let us walk together, guided by hope.

“HOW UBA SANI’s INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP IS RECLAIMING KADUNA’s SOUL”
By Alhassan Ibrahim
For decades, Kaduna State occupied a paradoxical space in Nigeria’s national imagination. It was at once a land of immense promise and painful contradiction: a cosmopolitan centre of culture, faith, and enterprise, yet also a theatre of recurring ethno-religious tension. The state’s diversity, rather than being harnessed as a strength, too often became a fault line. But history, as Kaduna is now demonstrating, is not immutable. Since May 29, 2023, a quiet but profound transformation has been underway, driven by a leadership philosophy that treats peace not as a slogan, but as a system. At the heart of this transformation stands Governor Uba Sani.
The clearest symbol of this new Kaduna emerged on Sunday, December 21, 2025, when Governor Uba Sani attended the Kaduna Unity Christmas Carol organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State Chapter, in collaboration with the state government. It was not a novelty appearance. It was his third consecutive attendance at the Christian gathering; an audacious yet deeply reassuring act by a Muslim Governor in a state long scarred by religious suspicion. More profoundly, he attended alongside leaders of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), one of the most respected Islamic organisations in Northern Nigeria. In that single image lay a powerful message: Kaduna has chosen coexistence over confrontation.
The mood at the carol was reverent, joyful, and unmistakably historic. Christian leaders from across denominations rose to commend a Governor whose leadership they described as fair, equitable, and inclusive. Ademola Tinuoye, Chairman of the Pentecostal Bishops’ Forum, spoke with rare clarity: “You promised fairness, and we have seen it; there is no crisis because of your fair dealings.” In a state once conditioned to expect unrest, the absence of crisis has become the most eloquent endorsement of leadership.
That absence is not accidental. Since Uba Sani assumed office, Kaduna State has not witnessed a single ethno-religious crisis. This is unprecedented in recent memory and deeply instructive. It confirms that peace is not sustained by force alone, but by justice, trust, and consistency. Tinuoye reinforced this reality when he added: “You promised equity and inclusiveness; everyone is being carried along. You also promised justice, and you have delivered.” These were not ceremonial compliments; they were statements grounded in lived experience.
Amos Kiri, President of the United Church of Christ, captured the historical weight of the moment when he observed: “Over the years, Christians in Kaduna have not had the privilege of seeing their governor attend a Christian programme like this.” That reflection spoke as much about the past as it did about the present. By attending the carol with his entire cabinet, Governor Uba Sani sent an unmistakable signal that governance in Kaduna belongs equally to all its people, irrespective of faith.
The interfaith character of the event itself reinforced this message. Muslims and Christians worshipped, reflected, and celebrated together. Kiri aptly described the gathering as an interfaith celebration and added a hope that deserves national attention: “If you continue this way, Kaduna will remain peaceful, and Nigeria will progress.” Peace in Kaduna, after all, carries implications far beyond its borders.
Governor Uba Sani’s address at the carol offered rare insight into the convictions guiding his leadership. “I am here today by choice, by conviction, and by commitment,” he declared. In those words was a redefinition of power; not as obligation, but as moral responsibility. He described Christmas as a season whose values of love, sacrifice, humility, and compassion transcend religious boundaries and speak directly to shared humanity. Faith, in his framing, is not a divider but a bridge.

On this momentous occasion, I urged the good people of Kaduna State to use the festive season to further consolidate the peace now prevailing across our communities. Kaduna has rebounded with renewed confidence and collective purpose. The Kaduna Peace Model is steadily gaining national recognition, with several conflict-affected states expressing interest in studying and replicating its successes. Let us therefore continue to choose peace, and to deliberately spread love, kindness, and compassion.
At the event, I commended His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his purposeful and resolute leadership, and further noted that the First Lady’s noble gesture during this festive season complements our administration’s efforts to reduce poverty and improve living conditions for all, irrespective of differences.
Senator Uba Sani, CON
Governor of Kaduna State
I had the distinct honour of serving as Chief Host as our beloved First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, OON, flagged off, at the Yar’Adua Multipurpose Hall, Murtala Square, Kaduna, the distribution of food items and palliatives to Christian families across Northern Nigeria ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
This well-attended and truly epoch-making event stands as a compelling testament to the First Lady’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of Nigerians, particularly the most vulnerable among us. Her Excellency has, by her consistent compassion, earned the endearing and well-deserved title of Mother of the Nation. This initiative reflects deep empathy, an abiding devotion to national service, and exemplary moral leadership. It rises far above the realm of charity, sending a powerful message of care, dignity, and solidarity with families during a season that calls for love, hope, and shared humanity.
What renders Her Excellency’s philanthropy especially remarkable is its profound inclusiveness. Her compassion recognises no religious, ethnic, or regional boundaries. Across our great nation, Muslims and Christians alike have benefited from her generosity, reaffirming our shared values and strengthening the bonds that unite us as one people with a common destiny.
With profound pride and gratitude for the immeasurable sacrifices of the Nigerian Armed Forces, I formally launched the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem and Appeal Fund at Arewa House, Kaduna. The solemn ceremony afforded us the privilege to honour our fallen heroes, reassure veterans and bereaved families of our enduring commitment to their welfare, and mobilize resources to improve their living conditions.
It was also a moment of quiet reflection on the courage, patriotism, and selflessness with which our Armed Forces have defended Nigeria’s unity and protected our collective future. Prayers were offered for the peaceful repose of the souls of those who paid the supreme price, while renewed attention was drawn to the plight of widows, orphans, and veterans who continue to bear the burdens of service long after the guns fall silent.
Our administration remains resolute in confronting insecurity through comprehensive and adaptive strategies that address both immediate threats and their underlying causes. Through sustained collaboration with federal security agencies, we have strengthened security architecture in Kaduna State, and our Kaduna Peace Model continues to deliver encouraging and measurable outcomes.
I therefore urge public-spirited individuals, corporate institutions, and stakeholders to sustain support for our veterans and families of fallen heroes nationwide.
Senator Uba Sani, CON
Governor of Kaduna State.
Earlier today, I assented to the 2026 Appropriation Bill, appropriately titled “Consolidation of Transformation for Inclusive Development.” This landmark Act authorizes a total expenditure of ₦985.9 billion, with ₦698.9 billion, representing 70.9 percent, earmarked for capital investment, while ₦287 billion, or 29.1 percent, is devoted to recurrent expenditure. Together, these allocations reflect our deliberate resolve to deepen development, strengthen institutions, and improve service delivery across Kaduna State.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Liman, and the Honourable Members for their diligence, cooperation, and the timely passage of this Bill. I also commend the Kaduna State Planning and Budget Commission, alongside all stakeholders, for their professionalism, dedication, and tireless efforts in crafting a budget that aligns vision with the needs of our people.
As we transition into implementation, I call on the good people of Kaduna State to continue to support and partner with their government. Our administration remains steadfast in its commitment to inclusive development and to building a future that is secure, prosperous, and just for all.
