Uba Sani: I’m determined to leave Kaduna better than I met it

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, says he is laser focused on leaving the state better than he met it by executing projects at a frenetic pace across the education, health and agriculture sectors.

Sani spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction and upgrade of Zaria township roads — from Magajiya Junction to Kasuwan Amaru, with a link to Unguwan Liman/Albarkawa road intersection — and Audi to Kako roads. 

The governor said his administration is ramping up the execution of its rural transformation programme.

Sani reiterated that the projects are progressing well, with contractors adequately funded to meet deadlines.

The governor said his goal is to connect local communities for social and economic benefits.

“When completed, these Zaria Township Roads will serve a significant population of Zaria city, predominantly the urban poor. Job opportunities would be created. Commercial activities will significantly improve, while security will be enhanced in the city and its surroundings,’’ he said.

Sani added that Zaria is too important to be left in its current state. 

“The groundbreaking is another demonstration of our firm commitment to the construction of new road networks, as well as the expansion, repair and maintenance of existing roads to ease transportation and enhance businesses across the state,” he said. 

“The road from Audi to Kako on the outskirts of Zaria City connects the predominantly farming communities.

“Our administration is dedicated to promoting accelerated development by extending infrastructure to all LGAs, supporting our communities in achieving rapid economic growth, addressing infrastructure deficits, curbing rural-urban migration, and improving the quality of life for our people.”

Jamil Ahmad, chairman of Zaria LGA, appreciated the governor for the projects executed in the LGA.
