Reels: The visit of Uba Sani Aides Assembly (USAA) - comprising Technical, Special, and Senior Special Assistants to Ahmadu Bello Stadium for a firsthand look at its transformation, showcasing Governor Uba Sani's commitment to world-class infrastructure. Governor Uba Sani's administration is doubling the stadium's capacity from 16,000 to 33,000 seats, turning it into Nigeria's second-largest stadium after the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. The upgrades include a state-of-the-art hybrid pitch and Olympic-standard facilities. Beyond serving as a national asset for top-tier sports and federal events, this project is a powerful economic driver. It will attract major tournaments, stimulate local businesses, create jobs for youths, and firmly re-establish Kaduna as a premier sports hub.

I reaffirmed our administration’s commitment to the welfare and dignity of pensioners across Kaduna State by announcing plans to further increase pensions to provide greater support and improve the quality of life of our retirees. I made this announcement during a courtesy visit by the National and State Executives of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP). Since assuming office, our administration has disbursed more than ₦21 billion towards the payment of pension arrears, gratuities and death benefits, while sustaining prompt monthly pension payments. We recognise the sacrifices made by our retirees in serving Kaduna State, and we remain determined to honour their service with compassion, responsibility and concrete action. I am deeply humbled by the decision of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners to honour me with the “Pensioner-Friendly Governor” award, in recognition of our administration’s dedication to the welfare and wellbeing of pensioners over the last three and a half years. I dedicate this recognition to the people of Kaduna State and, most importantly, to our pensioners whose years of dedicated service helped build the state we are proud of today. The Union also expressed its confidence in the direction of our administration by endorsing me for another term in office and declaring its readiness to mobilise its members across Kaduna State for our victory in the 2027 election. I am grateful for this show of confidence and remain committed to earning the trust and support of our people through continued delivery of good governance, inclusive development and improved welfare for all. As a further demonstration of our commitment to supporting our pensioners, I presented an official operational bus to the union and allocated a parcel of land for the construction of its permanent state secretariat. These interventions will strengthen the Union’s operations and provide our pensioners with the institutional support and dignity they deserve. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State.

Today, I had the honour of serving as Special Guest of Honour at the Special Interfaith Dialogue organised by the Kaduna State Bureau of Interfaith at the Abba Kyari Banquet Hall, Kaduna State Government House. The theme, “An Overview of the Impactful Three (3) Years of Peaceful Co-Existence and Inclusivity in Kaduna State; Unveiling the Secret,” provided a platform to reflect on our progress and deepen engagement with religious and traditional leaders. I was encouraged by their unanimous commendation of our administration’s commitment to inclusive governance, peace and development. Their renewed pledge of partnership reinforces our shared determination to make Kaduna a beacon of peaceful coexistence, shared prosperity and good governance, and a preferred destination for investment. I deeply appreciate their honest and constructive counsel and the patient work through which they continue to strengthen understanding across our communities. I emphasised that Kaduna has now moved beyond the recurrent ethnoreligious crises that once overshadowed our collective promise. Indeed, Kaduna State has not experienced any form of ethno-religious crisis in the last three (3) and half years, a significant achievement duly acknowledged by our religious leaders and community stakeholders at the dialogue. We are also addressing the neglect that left some communities feeling excluded from development. Across our 23 Local Government Areas, our investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, skills and essential infrastructure are guided by need and the conviction that every citizen deserves opportunity, irrespective of faith, ethnicity or location. Lasting peace requires justice, trust and the assurance that government serves everyone fairly. Development gives that assurance practical meaning when families can access essential services, pursue livelihoods and look to the future with confidence. Our progress must therefore be measured by both the stability of our communities and the dignity of the lives within them. We will continue working with religious and traditional institutions and all stakeholders to consolidate these gains and address unfinished work. Together, we must build a Kaduna where belonging is secure, opportunity is accessible and our diversity strengthens our common future. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State. October 5, 2026

In commemoration of Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, I have exercised my prerogative of mercy to grant clemency to 27 inmates in correctional facilities across Kaduna State. This decision reaffirms our commitment to a humane justice system that upholds accountability, promotes rehabilitation and offers deserving individuals an opportunity to rebuild their lives. The intervention provides for the release of eligible inmates and the settlement of fines and compensation for others, enabling beneficiaries to regain their freedom, reunite with their families and embrace the responsibilities of a fresh beginning. Since assuming office, we have extended clemency to more than 500 inmates and committed over ₦300 million to the payment of fines and compensation for victims. Behind these figures are human lives, families awaiting reunion and communities whose wellbeing depends upon the successful reintegration of those returning to them. I hold firmly to the conviction that justice must protect society, respect the interests of victims and preserve the possibility of redemption. Mercy, exercised with discernment, strengthens that purpose by recognising the capacity for change and making room for renewal. Our decisions follow established processes, with due regard for accountability, rehabilitation and the obligations that accompany freedom. The settlement of fines and compensation also gives these interventions a restorative dimension, addressing barriers to liberty while recognising the need for redress. To the beneficiaries, I urge you to honour this opportunity through responsible conduct, honest endeavour and respect for the rights of others. Let your return bring reassurance to your families and renewed confidence to your communities. As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we must continue to give practical meaning to freedom through institutions that uphold dignity and policies that restore hope. Our shared humanity places upon us a duty to recognise those who deserve another chance and support their journey towards responsible citizenship. We remain committed to strengthening rehabilitation, encouraging reconciliation and helping deserving individuals return to society with purpose, dignity and the resolve to contribute meaningfully to our common progress for the benefit of all. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor of Kaduna State

Happy Birthday Sir 🎂🎉

RT. HON. SPEAKER TAJUDEEN ABBAS AT 61: A STATESMAN, A BROTHER, A SOURCE OF PRIDE On behalf of the Government and people of Kaduna State, I warmly felicitate with my dear brother, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, PhD, GCON, on his 61st birthday. Today, we celebrate a distinguished son of Kaduna whose life demonstrates how scholarship, humility and steadfast devotion to the people can elevate public service and strengthen the foundations of our democracy. Mr. Speaker, you are a thoroughbred leader, a gentleman of uncommon grace and a grassroots politician whose connection with the people remains enduring. From Zaria Federal Constituency to communities across Kaduna State and beyond, your immense following rests on trust earned through accessibility, empathy and faithful representation. The affection you command reflects the consistency with which you have listened, served and upheld the dignity of those who entrusted you with their hopes. As Iyan Zazzau, you carry a cherished heritage with distinction; as Speaker, you have embraced the larger responsibilities of national leadership with wisdom and integrity. You are a core nationalist whose commitment to Nigeria rises above sectional considerations. Your capacity to build consensus across political, ethnic and religious differences affirms a conviction we share: that our diversity must enrich our common purpose and that leadership must give every Nigerian a sense of belonging. In my considered judgment, you are one of the finest Speakers to have presided over the House of Representatives since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999. Your calm authority, legislative experience and respect for colleagues have fostered stability, cooperation and purposeful deliberation. Through your stewardship, the House continues to demonstrate the value of disciplined leadership, institutional responsibility and legislation responsive to the aspirations of our citizens. I particularly commend your outstanding commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. As one of its foremost champions, you have provided invaluable legislative support for reforms directed towards national renewal, economic opportunity and improved wellbeing. Your partnership in this endeavour reflects a clear understanding that the ultimate measure of governance is the difference it makes in the lives of ordinary Nigerians. For me, your birthday also honours a dear brother, trusted ally and generous team player. Our partnership in the onerous but joyful task of restoring Kaduna State’s glory and pride remains a source of encouragement. Together, we are working to renew Kaduna’s promise as the soul and capital of Northern Nigeria, strengthening unity, widening opportunity and ensuring that progress reaches our communities. I deeply cherish your counsel, solidarity and unwavering commitment to our people. As you mark this milestone, I pray that Almighty Allah grants you sound health, enduring strength, greater wisdom and many more years of fruitful service to Kaduna State and Nigeria. May your home remain blessed, your endeavours prosper and your legacy of service continue to inspire generations. Happy 61st birthday, Mr. Speaker, my dear brother. May the years ahead bring fulfilment and abundant grace. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor, Kaduna State. October 1, 2026

FULL TEXT OF THE 2026 INDEPENDENCE DAY ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS BY H.E GOV. UBA SANI, CON “NIGERIA AT 66: THE NATION WE OWE OUR CHILDREN” As we commemorate our great nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary, I join all Nigerians, particularly my dearly beloved people of Kaduna State, in gratitude to Almighty God for the gift of nationhood and the grace that has sustained our journey. This anniversary invites us to honour our founding fathers, whose courage transformed the yearning for freedom into the sovereign nation we proudly call our own. Their enduring legacy entrusts every generation with the responsibility to make independence meaningful in the lives of our people. Nigeria stands as the world’s most populous black nation, a source of African pride and a beacon of possibility. Our cultural richness, human ingenuity and extraordinary resilience have sustained our promise through difficult seasons. Under the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, our shared responsibility is to translate that promise into prosperity that reaches every household and opportunities that expand every child’s horizons. I am proud of Mr. President’s courageous leadership and steadfast commitment to this national endeavour. Peace and stability are indispensable to the fulfilment of our aspirations. A farmer must be able to cultivate his land, a trader open her shop and a child attend school without fear. My administration in Kaduna State, working closely with the FG under President Tinubu’s leadership, remains committed to strengthening security, improving public safety and creating an environment in which our people can live, work and pursue their legitimate aspirations with confidence. To the people of Kaduna State, I reaffirm an abiding conviction: our diversity is our strength, and our shared humanity must guide our relationships. The dignity we seek for ourselves must extend to our neighbours. Let us reject prejudices that weaken our bonds and resist attempts to turn our differences into instruments of division. Through mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and collective determination, we will build a stronger Kaduna State and a more prosperous Nigeria. The patriotism of our founding fathers calls us to sacrifice and accountability. Citizens must discharge their civic responsibilities, just as leaders must honour the trust placed in them. Sacrifice acquires moral force when leadership shares its demands and ensures that its rewards improve the lives of the people. Our love of country must find expression in the integrity of our conduct and the care we show one another. This year, we celebrated 27 years of uninterrupted democratic rule. We thank Almighty God for this achievement while acknowledging our responsibility to deepen its substance. Democracy fulfils its purpose when citizens are heard, institutions inspire confidence and public service safeguards human dignity. Its enduring value must be evident in the security, opportunity and wellbeing it delivers. To every public official, I offer this solemn reminder: we shall ultimately account for our stewardship before Almighty God. Let wisdom guide our decisions, integrity govern our conduct and compassion shape our priorities. The authority entrusted to us obliges us to serve faithfully, protect public resources & leave our communities better than we found them. A new, albeit far better, Nigeria is achievable. Through our work in Kaduna State and the Renewed Hope Agenda nationally, we remain resolute in building a country worthy of our heroes’ sacrifices and our children’s trust. Let us pray for its peace, labour for its prosperity and strengthen the bonds that sustain our common destiny. I wish the good people of Kaduna and all Nigerians a happy 66th Independence Anniversary. May Almighty God protect our nation, bless our people & strengthen our resolve to build the Nigeria we owe our children. Senator Uba Sani, CON Governor of Kaduna State

Uba Sani Aides Assembly Commends Governor Over Scale, Quality and Spread of Infrastructure Across Kaduna, Pledges Statewide Awareness Campaign The Uba Sani Aides Assembly (USAA), a forum of Technical Assistants, Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants to the Governor, has commended His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, CON, for delivering infrastructure renewal on a scale, quality and spread never before seen in the history of Kaduna State. The commendation followed the Assembly's tour of three flagship projects in Kaduna metropolis: the Kaduna Modern Inter-State Bus Terminal at Millennium City in Chikun LGA; the Kabala Costain to Aliyu Makama Road and Bridge linking the northern and southern parts of Kaduna City; and the ongoing reconstruction of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium. The tour was led by the Chairman of the Assembly, Hon. Ibrahim Mohammed, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Energy. The Kaduna Modern Inter-State Bus Terminal sits on 18 hectares at Millennium City. It is the largest of its kind in sub-Saharan West Africa, with capacity for 5,000 vehicles. Designed as a modern transport hub with state-of-the-art facilities, it is powered entirely by an independent solar grid, making it efficient, environmentally responsible, and a model for public infrastructure. The terminal will ease chronic congestion in Kaduna city by diverting inter-state and heavy vehicle movement to Millennium City, reducing travel time, improving safety, and enhancing the passenger experience. It will also create jobs, open commercial opportunities for small businesses and attract investment to Chikun and adjoining communities. The Assembly noted that the terminal is not a stand-alone project but part of a wider transport vision that includes the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, the planned Light Rail and the modernisation of motor parks across the state. Speaking at the site, Hon. Ibrahim Mohammed said: "This terminal is a statement of vision. Governor Uba Sani is not building for the next election; he is building for the next generation. What we have seen here will change how people travel, trade and do business in Kaduna and across the region. The Assembly also visited the Kabala to Aliyu Makama Road and Bridge. The strategic corridor had stalled since 2022 due to unpaid contractor certificates, unresolved compensation claims and utility relocation costs. Inherited at about 30 percent completion, Governor Uba Sani settled the outstanding obligations and remobilized contractors to site. The contractor has now launched 42 of the 56 required beams on the bridge, a section where no work had previously been done. Upon completion, the link will shorten travel time between both sides of the city, relieve pressure on existing routes, improve access to schools, markets, hospitals and workplaces, and revive commercial activity along the Barnawa-Kabala corridor. The third stop was the historic Ahmadu Bello Stadium. The stadium is being reconstructed and expanded from 16,000 to 33,000 seats, making it the second largest in Nigeria after the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. It will feature a hybrid football pitch and Olympic-standard facilities. The stadium will remain a national asset, open to national teams, federal sporting programmes and major events. Beyond sports, it is an economic investment that will attract tournaments and visitors, boost hotels, restaurants and transport services, create jobs for youths and restore Kaduna's place as a centre of football and athletics. The Assembly stressed that these three projects are only a fraction of a larger picture. The administration has initiated 160 new road projects in addition to inherited ones, bringing the total road network under construction to 1,355 kilometres across the 23 LGAs. Both urban and rural communities are benefiting.

Update on the construction of Sabon Gari Township Roads (from PZ to Sabon Gari Market through PZ Cusson, Park Road, Crescent Road, Lagos Street and Kasuwan Mata) Governor Uba Sani's administration continues to bring development to both urban and rural settlements, improving living standards by enhancing connectivity, supporting commerce, and raising the quality of life for all residents. Since May 2023, the administration has launched more than 160 road projects spanning more than 1,355 kilometres, with many stretches already completed and others under active construction. #WorkingForKaduna

In line with His Excellency, Sen. Uba Sani’s vision for a cleaner and healthier Kaduna, I am pleased to announce the screening and orientation of new personnel for Operation Tsapta. Facilitated through my Ministry, these new recruits will complement the 5,000 sanitation personnel engaged earlier this year to strengthen environmental sanitation across Kaduna metropolis. We remain committed to sustaining a clean, safe and healthy environment for all citizens.
