Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani says he is taking development to all parts of the state in fulfilment of his pledge to run an inclusive government, anchored on equity, fairness, and justice.
Sani stated that the “people of Zone 3 have reciprocated by ensuring that peace prevails so that there will be unhindered development.”
The governor said this at the second edition of the Southern Kaduna Festival held at Kafanchan on Saturday, December 21, 2024.
Sani, who was the Chief Host of the event, said culture plays a role in shaping identities and values and inspiring creativity, adding: “Our cultural heritage is the foundation upon which we build our progress, and it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations.
“Our administration is committed to massive transformation of rural communities, recognizing the immense potential that lies within them.
“We believe that by empowering rural communities, we can unlock the secrets to sustainable development, economic growth, and social prosperity.”
Governor Sani noted that his administration has recorded a lot of transformative projects in the 18 months of being in office “that are reshaping our communities and enhancing the quality of life for our citizens.”

He recalled that the Kafanchan township roads “were abandoned for many years, bringing untold hardship on the people of this area. Contractors have been fully mobilized and work is ongoing.”
The governor said his administration is constructing a 22.5km road from Gwantu through Kibam to Godogodo, a 21.95km road from Madauchi to Kafanchan through Madakiya, including a branch to Matsirga Waterfalls, linking Jema’a to Zangon Kataf LGAs.
He said the Kaduna State Government is also re-constructing a 21.85km Pambeguwa to Kauru Road through Kahuta, linking Kubau to Kauru LGAs.
Sani added: “We have installed 200 units of All-in-One Solar Street Lights across various local governments in Zone 3, illuminating our streets and enhancing safety for all.
“Alongside these infrastructural advancements, we are prioritizing agriculture, as evidenced by our distribution of fertilisers, farm inputs and agricultural implements.
“Additionally, we have been constructing new schools and upgrading existing ones. We have also been carrying out massive distribution of educational materials to schools, ensuring that our children have the resources they need to thrive.
“The construction of the Kaduna State Vocational and Technology Skills Acquisition City at Samaru Kataf is a testament to our commitment to empowering our youths with relevant skills for the modern economy.”
