Uba Sani: Kaduna has reduced out-of-school children by 300k

Uba Sani, Kaduna state governor, says the number of out-of-school children in the state has been reduced by 300,000.

Sani spoke on Monday at the Murtala Square while launching the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign for the upcoming local government election in October.

He noted that more than 200 primary schools have been equipped across the 255 wards in the state, alongside the construction of 60 secondary schools.

Sani praised APC candidates for their efforts in mobilising support for the party.

He highlighted the progress his administration has made across key sectors, particularly in rural development.

Sani said his government has prioritised rural development, with the construction of 62 roads across the 23 local government areas, since taking office.

The governor added that nine secondary healthcare centres have been built, with construction of four others ongoing.

He said the social intervention programmes have impacted 1.9 million vulnerable individuals. 

Sani added that the defection of over 200,000 opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members, particularly from Southern Kaduna, to the APC, reflects the progress his administration has made in promoting justice, equality, and transparency.
