Governor Uba Sani has been diligently fulfilling his campaign promises since taking office in Kaduna State. He initiated the SUSTAIN Agenda, a seven-point development programme designed to uplift both rural and urban communities. This agenda includes Safety and security, Infrastructure upgrade, Strengthening Institutions, Trade and Investment, Investment in Human Capital, and Nurturing Citizen’s Engagement.
A notable achievement under this agenda is the distribution of free fertilisers and agricultural mechanisation equipment to 150,000 small-holder farmers across the state's 23 Local Government Areas. This initiative, which has been ongoing since 2024, is part of the Governor's commitment to revolutionize agriculture and uplift the rural communities.
The government's financial inclusion drive has also been a significant highlight, with over $2bn in investment attracted by the state. The administration has paid over N90bn of the debt inherited and has not taken any loans since coming into power. The investment climate in Kaduna State has improved due to the secure environment, resulting in the commencement of several projects such as the Sunagrow Soya oil Refinery Plant, Lithium Processing Plant, and the KBRT project.
Governor Uba Sani's administration has also made significant strides in infrastructure development, paying off debts and constructing over 150 road projects covering more than 1,355 kilometres. These roads have improved transportation, boosted the economy, and enhanced access to essential services. Furthermore, education and health sectors have received significant attention, with tuition fees reduced by about 40 percent in state-owned institutions.
