Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani has stated that he took over a state with vast potential but facing serious security challenges, infrastructure deficits and poor social indicators. He made the remarks during a public relations workshop organised by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) as part of its Public Relations Week, 'Croc City 2026,' held in Kaduna. The event, themed 'From Policy To Public Trust: Strategic Communication For Vision Alignment And Governance Delivery For Renewed Hope,' brought together senior government officials for discussions on governance and public communication. Sani said Kaduna is now a better place, describing the state as being "on the move" and poised for greater achievements. His administration, he said, adopted a governance model focused on measurable outcomes and accountability, using a performance framework based on key performance indicators across all ministries, departments and agencies. The governor outlined seven strategic pillars guiding his administration: security, infrastructure development, institutional strengthening, trade and investment, agriculture, human capital development and citizen engagement. On security, Sani cited collaboration with federal authorities to establish military bases in Giwa, Birnin Gwari and southern Kaduna, improved logistics and the deployment of a Joint Task Force that has reduced urban crime. Over 20,000 hectares of farmland have been reclaimed, more than 1,000 displaced persons resettled, and support continues for over 117,000 internally displaced persons. The Kaduna Incident Report Centre (KAD-IR) now offers 24-hour emergency response, complemented by early warning systems, a forensic laboratory, peace dialogues and rehabilitation programmes under the Kaduna Peace Model. In education, the government has built 736 classrooms, renovated over 1,200 schools, recruited 10,000 teachers and trained more than 33,000 personnel.
Uba Sani claims he inherited a Kaduna crippled by insecurity, yet his administration's own figures show over 117,000 people remain displaced, raising questions about the scale of recovery. More than 1,000 have been resettled, but the continued dependence on state support suggests stability is still fragile. The 20,000 hectares of farmland reclaimed may signal progress, but for thousands of displaced farmers, the promise of return remains incomplete. Sani's emphasis on measurable outcomes rings hollow when so many are still unable to go home.
