On this blessed Juma’ah, may Allah shower us with mercy, ease our burdens, and fill our hearts with peace. May He heal the sick, answer our prayers, forgive our shortcomings, and grant mercy to the departed. May He bless our families, guide our steps, and strengthen our faith. Alhamdulillah for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Ameen.

I am deeply honoured and humbled to be the central subject of a momentous occasion today in Kaduna, commemorating my enduring relationship with my late mentor, Chief Abdul-Ganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi, SAN, GCON, and celebrating the publication of the very important book, ‘Gani Fawehinmi and Uba Sani: A Tale of Mentor and Mentee’, authored by his daughter, my dear sister, Mrs. Basirat Fawehinmi-Biobaku, Esq. This gathering is far more than a book launch; it is a tribute to a remarkable life and an invitation to reflect on the values of courage, justice, democracy, education and service that defined Chief Gani’s extraordinary journey. I am particularly delighted to welcome and reconnect with many of the comrades and activists with whom I stood shoulder to shoulder during Nigeria’s historic pro-democracy struggle.
I am immensely grateful to Mrs. Fawehinmi-Biobaku for documenting this important chapter of our national story. By bringing these memories and experiences into enduring form, she has preserved not merely the account of a personal relationship, but a remarkable tradition of mentorship, sacrifice and service whose lessons will continue to resonate with generations yet unborn.
Among Chief Gani’s many enduring legacies, his unwavering commitment to education remains especially close to my heart. I was privileged to play a role in extending his scholarship scheme to Northern Nigeria, where it supported more than 1,000 brilliant but indigent students. Many of these beneficiaries have since become accomplished professionals, contributing meaningfully to our nation. That experience reinforced my abiding conviction that investing in the education of one young person can transform a family, uplift a community and positively alter the destiny of generations.
I was deeply moved by the generous reflections of the comrades, activists and distinguished speakers who spoke about my closeness to Chief Gani, my participation in the pro-democracy struggle and the responsibility I have assumed to preserve and advance the ideals for which he lived and fought. Their description of me as a living reflection of his values is profoundly humbling, but it is also a solemn reminder that public service must ultimately be judged not by titles or acclaim, but by the difference it makes in the lives of ordinary people. This conviction continues to shape my administration in Kaduna State, particularly our commitment to education, vocational training, human capital development and social inclusion.

10: Data no dey lie. Revenue dem dey use am for free CNG buses, roads agriculture, fertilizers, inputs etc. @Iam_shuayb@DepGovKaduna@BashirSZuntu@KADRA_kdsg
Today, I was pleased to present CNG-powered buses to the Kaduna State chapters and branches of five institutions of critical importance to our collective wellbeing: the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), and Kaduna State University (KASU). These institutions occupy indispensable positions in our society. Through healthcare, justice, journalism, education and corrections, they help sustain the foundations of a functional, secure and progressive society. I commend their leadership and members for their professionalism, dedication and steadfast commitment to public service.
The provision of these operational vehicles is intended to strengthen mobility, improve institutional efficiency and enable these organisations to discharge their responsibilities more effectively. It is also a practical expression of our administration’s belief that meaningful governance is strengthened by constructive partnerships with the institutions that serve our people.
The leadership of the beneficiary organisations expressed appreciation for the support of our administration and for the enabling environment we continue to foster. Their commendation reinforces our conviction that government works best when it listens, collaborates and builds enduring relationships with institutions across society.
We shall continue to deepen these partnerships and support institutions whose work advances the welfare, stability and development of Kaduna State. Our shared objective remains clear: to build a state in which institutions are strengthened, professionals are empowered, and every citizen has greater opportunity to thrive.

I was joined by Nigeria’s legendary football stars, including Daniel Amokachi, Garba Lawal, Emmanuel Babayaro and other distinguished sports icons, on an inspection tour of the ongoing reconstruction of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium (ABS), Kaduna. We are rebuilding ABS as a modern, FIFA-standard sporting complex, anchored by a 33,000-capacity main bowl; more than twice its original 16,000 capacity, alongside a hybrid turf, the first of its kind in Nigeria, and other world-class facilities. The training pitches are complete, while work continues on the main bowl, ticketing points, media centre and athletes’ hostel.
Our objective is larger than rebuilding a stadium. We are restoring Kaduna’s historic place at the heart of Nigerian sports; attracting major competitions; expanding opportunities for our young people; increasing internally generated revenue; and stimulating wider economic activity.
We are also closing a 30-year chapter of an unfulfilled promise. The Atlanta 1996 Super Eagles were promised land and streets named in their honour. Our administration is now delivering on that commitment. Lands have been allocated to the legends, while streets across Kaduna State will bear their names. These football heroes elevated Nigeria’s name, inspired generations and left an indelible mark on the global game. They deserve not merely our applause, but enduring recognition.
I reaffirmed that the reconstruction of ABS will be completed by November 2026, ready to host major local and international competitions. Kaduna is not merely rebuilding a stadium. We are rebuilding a legacy and reclaiming our rightful place in Nigerian sports.

I had the honour of serving as Chairman of Occasion at the wedding ceremony of Innocent Oborevwori, son of my dear friend, brother and Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Sheriff Oborevwori, as he tied the knot with his beautiful bride, Uvietobore Arigbodi, in Asaba, Delta State.
The joyous occasion brought together fellow Governors, government officials, captains of industry, family members, friends and well-wishers to celebrate the union of two young people embarking on a new journey of love and companionship.
In my remarks, I urged the couple to imbibe the values and lessons instilled in them by their parents and allow these virtues to guide them as they build their home. I also encouraged them to nurture their marriage with friendship, sacrifice, mutual respect, understanding and, above all, love. I warmly congratulate Innocent and Uvietobore, may Almighty God bless their union and strengthen their bond.

I was honoured to attend the National Seminar of Fityanul Islam of Nigeria as Special Guest of Honour at the newly commissioned Muhammadu Buhari Hall in Kaduna. The seminar brought together more than 2,000 members of the First Aid Group from across the country for intensive training in administration, first-aid response, discipline, dress code, and specialised sessions by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Beyond the training itself, the seminar represents an important investment in civic responsibility. In moments of crisis, communities are often strengthened not only by institutions, but by citizens equipped with the knowledge, discipline and practical skills to respond effectively. I commend the leadership of Fityanul Islam for sustaining this culture of service and for placing human capacity development at the heart of community wellbeing.
I was deeply humbled to receive an Award of Excellence in recognition of the progress recorded in security and public safety across Kaduna State, our commitment to responsible leadership, and our support for humanity. I accept this honour on behalf of the people of Kaduna State.
The commendations on our administration’s efforts to strengthen security, foster peace, support vulnerable citizens and invest in human capital are encouraging. They also reinforce our responsibility to do more. Our commitment remains unwavering: to build a Kaduna where governance is measured by the welfare, dignity, security and wellbeing of every citizen.

I am deeply gratified by the successful maiden graduation of 4,050 trainees of the Kaduna State Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development (KIVTSD), drawn from our three campuses strategically serving the three senatorial zones of Kaduna State.
The commendations from top officials of the Federal Government, industry stakeholders, parents and, most importantly, our graduates affirm our conviction that investment in skills is an investment in the future of Kaduna. Through a ₦810 million grant, start-up support, internationally recognised qualifications and meaningful industry linkages, we are deliberately bridging the gap between training and opportunity, ensuring that skills translate into livelihoods, enterprise and sustainable economic value.
Of particular significance is the Federal Ministry of Education’s decision, through the Honourable Minister, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, to adopt KIVTSD’s training manuals as reference materials for the development of a nationwide guide for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme. Equally encouraging is the recognition by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), under the leadership of Prof. Idris Bugaje, of our Institutes as among the best in Nigeria, on account of their excellence, modern facilities and industry-standard technology. These acknowledgements affirm that the Kaduna Model is not merely producing skilled young people; it is shaping a framework with growing national relevance.
No president in the history of this country has practically shows that he delivers like President Tinubu. Kaduna State will certainly repay President Tinubu during the 2027 general elections. Under President Tinubu, states have been given wings to fly.

Under the leadership of His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, Kaduna continues to invest in skills and opportunities for its young people.

Earlier today, I attended the Maulud Nabiyy celebration organised by Fityanul Islam, Kaduna Chapter, at Murtala Square, Kaduna, where I was warmly received by a large and jubilant gathering.
I used the occasion to express my profound appreciation to our religious leaders, particularly the Imams and Ulamas, for their tireless efforts in promoting peace, mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence across our communities. Their moral authority and sustained commitment remain invaluable to the preservation of harmony in our State.
I also urged our people to cherish and protect the peace that has made it possible for us to gather freely and joyfully in celebration of the life and exemplary teachings of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The successful observance of this year’s Maulud Nabiyy is, in many respects, a testament to the progress we are making in restoring peace and stability across Kaduna State. We must therefore remain united in our determination to consolidate these gains and build a durable foundation for peaceful coexistence.
I assured our people of faith that our administration will continue to support initiatives that strengthen interfaith dialogue, deepen mutual respect and advance peace, unity and shared prosperity. Together, we shall build a Kaduna anchored in justice, tolerance and collective progress.

I was in Osogbo today as Chairman of the Monitoring and Compliance Committee of the APC Osun State Governorship Campaign Council, joining our great party at its Grand Rally in support of our candidate for the gubernatorial election that holds this Saturday, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO).
I delivered a goodwill message and engaged with our dear citizens from northern parts of the country that reside in Osun State, underscoring the imperative of peaceful, responsible and inclusive participation in Saturday’s election. Osun stands at a defining moment, and the choice before its people is both consequential and clear: to embrace the Renewed Hope Agenda of our great leader, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and open the way to greater opportunities, investment and transformation.
The APC has demonstrated that meaningful development is possible when leadership is purposeful, visionary and firmly anchored in the aspirations of the people. With AMBO, the very popular and experienced gubernatorial candidate of APC, Osun can attract greater investment, expand economic opportunities, empower its youthful population and harness its abundant human and material resources for sustainable growth.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is one of Nigeria’s foremost champions of democracy and remains deeply committed to peace, justice and fairness. We are confident that, under his leadership, the Osun election will be free, fair, peaceful and credible.
The impressive turnout, the enthusiasm of our supporters and the palpable optimism across Osun are unmistakable. The people are ready for the APC and for Renewed Hope. I therefore urge the people of Osun to come out peacefully on Saturday and vote for AMBO.

KADIRS ACTING EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN ENGAGES KADGIS, KASUPDA LEADERSHIP ON REVENUE PERFORMANCE
The Acting Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), Dr. Mohammed Lawal, ACTI, CNA, has engaged the leadership of the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) and the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KASUPDA) as part of efforts to strengthen inter-agency collaboration and enhance internally generated revenue performance in Kaduna State.
The engagements, which followed the recent performance review meetings, focused on actions and resolutions reached on operational challenges affecting revenue generation and remittance. Discussions centred on identifying areas for improved cooperation, strengthening data sharing and compliance with applicable revenue laws and policies, as well as exploring automation and process improvements to enhance efficiency and revenue administration.
At KASUPDA, the Director General, Dr. Abdulrahman Yahaya, and the representative of the Director General of KADGIS reaffirmed their total commitment to liaising with KADIRS towards achieving the state’s revenue generation objectives. The agencies agreed to deepen collaboration through joint operations, joint enforcement and strategic media advocacy, aimed at improving compliance, expanding the revenue base and supporting the attainment of the set revenue generation target.
The engagements reaffirm KADIRS’ commitment to sustained collaboration with Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Kaduna State Government in strengthening revenue administration and service delivery. The parties expressed confidence that the implementation of agreed resolutions, stronger institutional cooperation and coordinated enforcement efforts will significantly improve revenue performance and contribute to sustainable revenue generation for Kaduna State.
Part of the entourage at the technical sessions included the Director of Revenue Operations, Hajiya Asmau Inuwa Mora; Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Comrade Idris Muhammad; Director of Planning and Statistics, Mr. Paul Michael, Director of MDAs Revenue, Alh. Aminu Dan-Gambo, and KADIRS Corporate Communication team.

I was honoured to participate in the International Conference on “Diversity and Social Peace: Partnership for a Promising Future,” organised by the Muslim World League and Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
The gathering of leaders and stakeholders from across religious, ethnic, political and racial divides reaffirmed a profound truth: our diversity should be a source of strength, not division. Peaceful coexistence is indispensable to Nigeria’s stability, development and shared prosperity.
In Kaduna State, we have demonstrated that inclusive governance can fundamentally reshape the narrative. Since assuming office, our administration has pursued a leadership philosophy that recognises every citizen as an equal stakeholder, irrespective of religion, ethnicity or political affiliation. Through sustained dialogue, community engagement and purposeful partnerships, we have confronted longstanding sources of tension, rebuilt confidence and strengthened the bonds that hold our communities together. Today, Kaduna is more peaceful, and our Kaduna Peace Model is increasingly inspiring other states to embrace inclusive approaches to insecurity and ethno-religious challenges.
I commend the Muslim World League and JIBWIS for convening this timely and consequential dialogue. I equally appreciate the Muslim World League led by the Secretary-General, Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa for choosing Kaduna for this landmark Cardiac Centre, the first of its kind in Northern Nigeria and among the best in Nigeria. The choice of Kaduna is a global recognition of our administration’s commitment to inclusive leadership, religious harmony, peaceful coexistence and deliberate investment in healthcare. Established in partnership with the Kaduna State Government, the Centre is a fitting recognition of the peace, trust and progress we have collectively nurtured.
