I'm deeply grateful and humbled to have been given this opportunity! Thank you for the opportunity, Sen. @ubasanius , CON. Thank you Soba Chairman, Hon. @Molash7879 for the trust & confidence in my abilities. I'm excited to take on this new role and contribute my best efforts...

Happy birthday to a wonderful friend and brother, Honorable Abdulmutallif Isah Babuji. May your new year be filled with continued prosperity and long life. Our incoming member KDSHA insha Allah

I had the pleasure of receiving the management team of Kaduna Polytechnic, an institution I am proud to call one of my alma maters. The delegation, ably led by the Rector, Dr. Suleiman Umar, conveyed thoughtful reflections on our administration’s ongoing efforts to reposition the education sector in Kaduna State. Their gracious acknowledgment of our initiatives: ranging from the reduction of school fees and decisive action against the scourge of out-of-school children, to the construction of new schools, the recruitment and retraining of teachers, and the steady upgrading of educational infrastructure, was deeply appreciated. Our engagement afforded me an opportunity to reflect on my formative years at the Polytechnic, where I acquired not only knowledge but also enduring values that continue to guide my public service. I commended the management for their steadfast commitment to preserving the institution’s standards and urged them to remain resolute in their pursuit of excellence and innovation. I was particularly honoured by the iconic institution’s invitation to serve as Special Guest of Honour at the forthcoming Convocation Ceremony and 70th Anniversary celebration of the Polytechnic, a milestone of enduring significance that I look forward to celebrating with pride. I was equally humbled by the management’s decision to confer on me the prestigious title of Fellow of the Polytechnic, the highest honour bestowed by the institution. I assured the management of our administration’s resolve to further upgrade, reconstruct and rehabilitate infrastructures within the institution in order to provide a more conducive learning environment for both staff and students. I reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Kaduna State Government to supporting the welfare of staff and students, and to strengthening the Polytechnic’s capacity to deliver quality, future-ready education. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State

In furtherance of our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the lives and livelihoods of our people, I had the privilege of inaugurating the Kaduna State Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) Peace and Security Committee. This marks a decisive step in our ongoing efforts to consolidate peace and entrench sustainable security across Kaduna State. Kaduna State is also serving as the pilot state for this peace and security initiative, reflecting national confidence in the effectiveness and promise of our security framework. From the very outset, this administration has pursued a carefully balanced strategy; combining kinetic responses with thoughtful non-kinetic interventions, within what has come to be widely recognised as the Kaduna Peace Model. This approach is grounded in a clear understanding that insecurity is not merely a function of criminality, but often the consequence of deeper structural challenges, including poverty, exclusion, and limited economic opportunity. Through sustained collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser, the National Counter Terrorism Centre, the Armed Forces, and other security agencies, we have recorded measurable progress. Intelligence coordination has been significantly strengthened; key transport corridors, including the Kaduna–Abuja highway, the Birnin Gwari axis and other previously flash points, are now markedly safer; economic activity is steadily rebounding across these places; markets have reopened; and our farmers are returning to their fields with renewed confidence. I am particularly encouraged by the commendation of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, ably represented by Ambassador Abimbola Wonosikou, who described the Kaduna Peace Model as worthy of emulation for its deliberate focus on addressing the underlying drivers of insecurity. The Committee, under the able leadership of the Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, Dr. Abdulkadir Muazu Meyare, brings together a broad coalition of stakeholders: government institutions, security agencies, civil society, and traditional and religious leaders. Its mandate is to guide the structured rehabilitation, skills development, and reintegration of individuals exiting violence, while fostering community trust and long-term stability. Together, we shall build a Kaduna State where peace is not merely promised, but lived; where security is shared by all; and where the future is defined not by fear, but by possibility. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State

I had the pleasure of receiving a delegation from the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), participants of the Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 19, Syndicate 4, led by their Team Lead, Uduak Uduak Ituen, during a courtesy visit to Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna. The delegation is in the state as part of its ongoing security study tour. I was particularly encouraged by their thoughtful engagement and their commendation of our administration’s peace and security framework. Their recognition of the now famous Kaduna Peace Model, as a template worthy of study and possible replication, underscores the quiet but determined work we have undertaken to stabilise our communities and rebuild trust in public institutions. I am equally mindful of their observation that our progress in security, inclusive governance, and people-centred development contributed to my recognition as the recipient of the “2026 Governor of the Year Award” by the National Leadership Summit Group. In my remarks, I expressed sincere appreciation for their generous assessment, while reaffirming a principle that continues to guide our approach: that sustainable security cannot be achieved through enforcement alone. It must be anchored in credible intelligence, strengthened by inter-agency cooperation, and sustained through trust between government and the governed. I further emphasised the intrinsic link between security and development. Our investments in infrastructure, education, and social protection are deliberately designed not only to respond to immediate challenges, but to address the underlying conditions that give rise to instability. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State.

I had the esteemed honor of commissioning the Renewed Hope 100-Bed Specialist Hospital in Zaria, a landmark intervention that affirms our collective resolve to advance the wellbeing of our people. This project stands as a compelling testament to the transformative force of the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, which continues to anchor purposeful, people-centred development across our nation. I commend the Speaker of the House of Representatives, The Rt. Hon.Tajudeen Abbas, GCON, for his foresight and unwavering dedication in bringing this vital initiative to fruition. The gracious acknowledgements of the Kaduna State Government’s role in enabling and supporting this project are deeply appreciated. This facility is firmly aligned with our administration’s integrated healthcare reform agenda, designed to strengthen service delivery across every tier of care. Beyond this specialist hospital, we have upgraded 255 Primary Health Care Centres to Level-2 facilities and established 23 Centres of Excellence across the state. We have also commissioned the 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital and upgraded 15 General Hospitals statewide. In the coming weeks, additional Centres of Excellence will commence in Babban Dodo and Chikaji, further extending access to quality care across Zaria and Sabon Gari. In addition to our support for this 100-bed facility, we have assured its management of enhanced security within the surrounding area, the provision of an operational vehicle, and other critical healthcare support to strengthen service delivery. Our objective remains clear: to ensure accessible, affordable, secure, and reliable healthcare for every citizen of Kaduna State. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State May 2, 2026

I was deeply honoured to witness the Qur’anic graduation ceremony of 153 students of the Na’ibi Charity Foundation, established by the respected Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, national leader of JIBWIS. This inspiring milestone stands as a testament to the discipline, perseverance, and spiritual devotion of the graduands, who have committed themselves to the memorisation and living guidance of the Holy Qur’an. Their achievement is not merely academic; it is profoundly moral. I urged them to remain steadfast in the virtues they have imbibed: humility, integrity, compassion, and peace, and to reflect, in both word and deed, the true essence of Islam, which calls for justice, mercy, and harmonious coexistence among all people. I extend my sincere appreciation to Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau and other distinguished speakers for their gracious remarks and their recognition of our administration’s efforts to strengthen security and advance inclusive development across Kaduna State. I am particularly encouraged by their consistent emphasis on peaceful coexistence across religious and social divides. Their voices remain vital in nurturing unity and guiding our communities towards mutual respect and understanding. As a government, we remain committed to treating every citizen fairly and equitably, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation. We stand firm against all forces of division and will continue to resist those who seek to profit from instability and disunity. Kaduna State will continue to support and partner with institutions and initiatives that foster peace, cohesion, and shared progress. We are convinced that enduring development can only take root in an environment defined by trust, stability, and collective purpose. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State.

Gov. @ubasanius commissioned the Renewed Hope 100-bed Specialist Hospital in Zaria, expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare for all in Kaduna State. Thanks to President @officialABAT and Speaker Rt. Hon. @Speaker_Abbas for making this possible. #WorkingforKaduna

It was an immense honour receiving and hosting Her Excellency, Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, OON, in Kaduna State for the official flag-off of the distribution of 100 trucks of rice and ₦1.2 billion in palliative support to vulnerable households across the 19 Northern States and the FCT. The occasion was not merely ceremonial; it was a profound affirmation of compassion translated into action. I seized the moment to convey my deep appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose purposeful and steady leadership continues to chart a path toward economic recovery, social inclusion, and enduring national stability. The Renewed Hope Agenda is not an abstract promise; it is a living framework steadily improving lives and restoring confidence in our collective future. I commend the First Lady’s unwavering commitment to humane and inclusive interventions. Her initiatives resonate beyond policy: they touch lives, restore dignity, and rekindle hope across religious, ethnic, and social divides. The collaboration with the Muslim Intellectuals Forum and the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Political and Other Matters, under the able stewardship of Hon. Ibrahim Masari, stands as a compelling testament to what purposeful partnerships can achieve.

STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, ON THE AWARD OF STRATEGIC CONTRACTS WORTH OVER ₦1 TRILLION AND ₦178 BILLION IN KADUNA STATE On behalf of the Government and people of Kaduna State, I extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Federal Executive Council for the gracious approval and award of transformative infrastructure contracts that will indelibly reshape the economic and social landscape of our state. Foremost among these is the Kaduna Light Rail Project; an ambitious undertaking spanning a 30-kilometre corridor from Rigachikun to Sabon Tasha, alongside a 20-kilometre line from Millennium City to Rigasa, forming a 50-kilometre metropolitan network with an estimated value of One Trillion Naira. Complementing this is the critical reconstruction of the Mando–Kaduna–Birnin Gwari road, a 122-kilometre artery valued at ₦178 billion. Together, these projects represent not merely investments in infrastructure, but a deliberate re-engineering of mobility, security, and economic vitality across Kaduna State. The Federal Government’s support for the light rail project is both historic and catalytic. It reinforces our vision of an integrated transport ecosystem, anchored by the 24-kilometre Bus Rapid Transit system currently underway. Kaduna has taken a pioneering role in Northern Nigeria by articulating a comprehensive State Transport Policy, one that privileges efficiency, safety, environmental sustainability, and affordability. Through initiatives such as subsidised Compressed Natural Gas buses, modern terminals, and structured transit corridors, we are systematically positioning Kaduna as a premier hub for transportation and logistics. That Kaduna has been selected to lead this transformation; emerging as only the second state in the federation to embark on a light rail system, speaks to the confidence reposed in our vision and our capacity for execution. It is a testament to a leadership philosophy at the centre that recognises potential, rewards preparedness, and advances development without prejudice. Equally significant is the rehabilitation of the Mando–Birnin Gwari road, a project imbued with both symbolic and practical importance. I recall, with clarity and respect, Mr. President’s visit to Birnin Gwari in the lead-up to the 2023 general elections, at a time when the area was beset by insecurity and infrastructural neglect. His promise then was unequivocal. Today, that promise is being fulfilled. This road will not only enhance connectivity but also strengthen security, facilitate agricultural productivity, and restore confidence to communities long burdened by isolation. Kaduna State remains resolute in its commitment to the diligent execution of these projects. We view them not as isolated interventions, but as enduring legacies; foundations upon which a more prosperous, secure, and connected future will be built. We thank Mr. President for his steadfast commitment to Kaduna State and to the equitable development of our nation. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor of Kaduna State

That Kaduna was described as the heartbeat of Northern Nigeria is both humbling and instructive. It affirms our strategic significance and deepens our resolve to serve as a fulcrum for unity and progress. I am equally grateful for Her Excellency’s gracious recognition of the newly completed and commissioned Brigadier Abba Kyari Banquet Hall as a space dedicated to dialogue and development. We acknowledge, with gratitude, the steadfast role of our religious leaders in nurturing peace, moral clarity, and social cohesion. As a government, we remain resolute; committed to policies and alliances that uplift our people, strengthen resilience, and advance inclusive, sustainable development across Kaduna State. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor of Kaduna State

As National Chairman of the Ekiti State Governorship Campaign Council, I was deeply honoured to stand in solidarity with the discerning and steadfast people of Ekiti State at the official flag-off of the All Progressives Congress gubernatorial campaign in Ado-Ekiti. The occasion transcended its ceremonial significance; it was, in essence, a compelling affirmation of collective purpose, marked by an unmistakable spirit of unity and an abiding faith in the leadership of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. The remarkable turnout and the sincerity of public engagement offered a clear testament to a people resolute in their commitment to continuity, stability, and enduring progress. Earlier in the day, I had the privilege of inaugurating a free medical outreach thoughtfully convened by members of the National Assembly from Ekiti State in honour of the Governor. This initiative, both humane and strategic, exemplifies a governance ethos grounded in empathy, collaboration, and measurable impact. It reflects a leadership model that not only prioritises the welfare of citizens but also galvanises institutions toward shared developmental goals.

“IN KADUNA’s NEW BANQUET HALL, UBA SANI PARTNERS NIPR TO RECAST NIGERIA’s IMAGE” By Ibrahim Jibo Yusuf There are moments in the life of a polity when governance rises above routine administration and acquires a deeper symbolic resonance. Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in Kaduna, was one such moment; an occasion where structure became statement and public leadership found expression through deliberate, purposeful action. At the centre of this convergence stood Governor Uba Sani, whose administration continues to project a steady, reform-oriented vision for the state. The inauguration of the new Banquet Hall at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House was, in immediate terms, the unveiling of a major public facility. Yet its broader significance lies in what it represents: a space intentionally designed not just for ceremonial use, but as a platform for engagement, policy dialogue, and institutional interaction. It reflects an understanding that governance today requires environments that can convene diverse actors: government officials, private sector leaders, civil society, and development partners, in pursuit of shared objectives. Set on 2.7 hectares and covering about 5,000 square metres, the Banquet Hall embodies both scale and restraint. Its capacity, accommodating between 800 and 1,000 guests in banquet format and up to 1,300 in theatre arrangement, signals readiness for large-scale gatherings. However, the significance of the structure lies less in its size than in the intentionality of its design. The facility integrates multiple meeting rooms, a conference suite, and a dedicated Governor’s Office, ensuring that governance functions can proceed seamlessly alongside formal events. Supporting infrastructure; including modern kitchens, service areas, and security systems aligned with global standards, further underscores a design philosophy anchored in efficiency and purpose. The result is a space where aesthetics and functionality are balanced, and where every element contributes to a coherent operational vision. Naming the hall after Brigadier General Abba Kyari (rtd), a former Military Governor of the old North Central State, adds a historical dimension to the project. This decision reflects a deliberate effort to connect present initiatives with past leadership legacies, reinforcing continuity in governance. It also underscores the importance of institutional memory in shaping contemporary public administration. The Banquet Hall’s significance became more evident as it hosted key events of the 3rd Nigerian Institute of Public Relations Week (Croc City 2026), organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations. The theme,“Food Security: From Policy Paper to Plate – The Imperative of Public Relations”, captured a central challenge in Nigeria’s development landscape: translating policy intentions into measurable outcomes. By hosting this event, Kaduna positioned itself as both a venue and a participant in a national conversation about governance, communication, and development. In a context where public trust is often shaped by perception as much as by performance, the role of communication becomes critical. Policies must not only be well designed; they must also be clearly articulated, widely understood, and consistently implemented. The presence of His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, added national weight to the occasion. In his remarks, he framed the Banquet Hall as more than a physical structure, describing it as evidence of what disciplined leadership can achieve. This perspective situates the project within a broader narrative of governance reform and institutional strengthening. Infrastructure, when guided by purpose, serves functions beyond its physical utility. It becomes a signal of intent, projecting confidence and inviting engagement. The Banquet Hall exemplifies this dynamic, acting as both a venue for dialogue and a symbol of Kaduna’s developmental aspirations. thisdaylive.com/2026/04/26/in-…

Following my appointment by our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as Chairman of the Ekiti State Governorship Campaign Council, I arrived in Ado-Ekiti ahead of the official flag-off rally with a clear sense of responsibility. I was warmly received by the Governor of Ekiti State and our gubernatorial candidate, His Excellency, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. I held a strategic meeting with Governor Oyebanji and key stakeholders to review our preparedness, refine campaign plans, and strengthen coordination across the state. Thereafter, I conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the rally venue, which reflected strong organisation, enthusiasm, and readiness among party faithful. I am impressed by the visible development across Ekiti State under Governor Oyebanji’s leadership, which provides a solid foundation for our campaign. His purposeful governance and connection with the people present a compelling case for continuity. As Chairman, I remain committed to delivering on this mandate by mobilising grassroots support and ensuring a successful campaign. This effort aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, and I am confident that, with unity and dedication, victory is assured. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State.
