The Agwan Atyap, His Highness Sir Dominic Gambo Yahaya has commended Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna for his targeted and inclusive policies and programmes to develop Kaduna’s rural communities.

The commendation came during Governor Sani’s visit on December 23 2023 to the Atyap Chiefdom for the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a Vocational and Technology Skills Acquisition City in Samarun Kataf and the groundbreaking for the construction of a feeder road linking Takjey to Mayayet all located in Zangon Kataf LGA of Kaduna State.

“Your visit to our chiefdom is historic and we will live to remember this day. We remain grateful and will continue to support all programmes and projects by the Kaduna State Government. Your presence here is a confirmation of your commitment to transform the rural areas of this state.

Babangida to Uba Sani: Your govt not inflicting hardship

“We are particularly grateful for both projects; the new feeder road will serve many communities along its route, as it will enable the smooth transportation of our farm produce from the hinterland to other parts of Kaduna State and Nigeria. The groundbreaking of the Skills Acquisition Centre at Samarun Kataf will greatly assist our youths and reduce adolescent delinquency in the Chiefdom and the state at large,” the Agwan Atyap said.

To show appreciation, the traditional title of “A Chad Atyap” or “Mai Kaunar Kasar Nan” was conferred on the governor.

The Kaduna State Vocational and Technology Skills Acquisition City (KAD-VTSAC) Project is a vocational and technology skills hub, an initiative of the Governor Uba Sani-led administration, created to ensure that people from all walks of life are empowered with critical skills to function in the technology-driven, globally-competitive environment of today and the future.

KAD-VTSAC has as its mandate “to prepare all youths in the state to enter the job market with the right skills, quality education, knowledge and competences to participate in the global labour market of the twenty-first century.”

Recently, the groundbreaking was done for a similar skill acquisition centre in Rigachikun Igabi LGA and a third centre is also to be constructed at Soba LGA.

Governor Sani has continued to receive commendations for his inclusive leadership style of citing projects equally across all the Senatorial Zones of the state.
