El-Rufai hands over transition report to Uba Sani, says Gov-elect lucky

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, says the administration of the Governor-elect, Uba Sani, is lucky to have a working document to work with on the first day in office.

El-Rufai said this while handing over a copy of the report of the Transition Committee to Sani at the Government House in Kaduna on Saturday, May 27.

The governor said: “We were not so fortunate when we came in 2015 because briefings only started after we took office on the 29th of May. Then our Transition Committee had all the materials and documents to prepare a report.

“But the fact that our party won the election for the third time, we have had the benefit of getting officials to brief the committee, to get this report prepared.”

He thanked the members of the committee for doing a very good job, adding that the quality of the people on the committee is such that “I expect nothing less”.

Governor El-Rufai also congratulated Sani for having a working document before taking office, recalling that “our 2015 Transition Committee Report remains our blueprint for all that we have done in eight years.”

Speaking shortly after receiving the report, Sani assured that he will study the report and implement most of the recommendations.

The Governor-elect also thanked El-Rufai for his support and for pooling together all the people that can help his administration, promising to complete the projects that the governor started.

Sani, who commended members of the Transition Committee for doing a good job, also promised to deliver on all his campaign promises.

On his part, the Chairman of the Transition Committee, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, said the members exhibited transparency in their assignments, adding that the committee engaged extensively in agriculture, environment, and natural resources sectors.

Balarabe, who is also the Secretary to Kaduna State Government, said the committee also focused on Human Capital and Institutional Development, security law, and safety.
