Public Opinion: Why Governor Uba Sani’s Three-Year Legacy Deserves Celebration

As Governor Uba Sani marks three years in office, the Editorial Board of Privilege Magazine engaged respected community leaders, public affairs commentators, and stakeholders to assess the impact of his administration.

The overwhelming sentiment is that the Governor has redefined governance in Kaduna State through inclusive leadership, strategic infrastructure development, improved security, education, healthcare, and people-oriented policies.

Musa Hassan Ikara: “Road Infrastructure is Transforming Kaduna”

According to Musa Hassan Ikara, one of the most remarkable achievements of Governor Uba Sani is the unprecedented expansion of road infrastructure across Kaduna State.

He cited several flagship projects, including:

– Construction of about 140–150 road projects covering more than 1,300 kilometres across the 23 Local Government Areas.
– Commissioning of the 35-kilometre Gadan Gayan–Gwaraji–Kujama Junction Road, linking Igabi, Chikun and Kajuru LGAs and connecting over 70 farming communities.
– Commissioning of the Durum–Kuruntumawa Road in Makarfi Local Government.
– Reconstruction of the 60-kilometre internal road network of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
– Expansion of rural access roads under the administration’s rural revitalisation agenda.

Lady Mrs. Margaret Ayuba KSJ: “Education and Healthcare Define a Caring Government”

Lady Mrs. Margaret Ayuba KSJ observed that the administration’s investments in education and healthcare represent one of its strongest legacies.

She pointed to:

– Upgrading of 255 Primary Healthcare Centres to Level-2 facilities.
– Rehabilitation and equipping of General Hospitals across the state.
– Completion and operationalisation of the 300-Bed Specialist Hospital in Millennium City after years of delay.
– Construction of over 600 classrooms.
– Construction of 62 new secondary schools, with additional schools under development.
– Establishment of 23 Centres of Excellence—one in each Local Government Area.
– Expansion of technical and vocational education through the Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development.

Mrs. Janet Shammah Victor Bobai: “Inclusive Leadership Has Restored Hope”

Mrs. Janet Shammah Victor Bobai praised Governor Uba Sani for promoting unity and inclusive governance.

She described Project 255 as one of the administration’s defining initiatives because it aims to ensure that each of Kaduna State’s 255 wards benefits from at least one impactful government project.

According to her, projects such as classroom renovations, Primary Healthcare Centre upgrades, solar-powered boreholes, feeder roads, culverts, rural electrification and community development initiatives have demonstrated that no part of Kaduna State should be left behind.

Mallam Rufai Adams Badiko: “Peace Has Opened the Door to Development”

Mallam Rufai Adams Badiko commended the administration’s collaborative security approach.

He argued that improved security has enabled government to extend development projects into rural communities, particularly road construction, healthcare delivery and agricultural access routes.

According to him, improved peace has encouraged farming, increased commercial activities and restored confidence among residents and investors.

Bishop James Ladan: “Every Zone Has Felt the Impact of Government”

Bishop James Ladan described Governor Uba Sani’s project distribution as a practical demonstration of fairness and equity.

He observed that Southern Kaduna, Central Kaduna and Northern Kaduna have all benefited from:

– Rural and urban road construction.
– Renovation of schools.
– Primary Healthcare Centre upgrades.
– Solar-powered water projects.
– Rural electrification.
– Community development projects under Project 255.

According to him, the administration has deliberately pursued balanced development across the state’s three senatorial districts.

Victor Mathew Bobai: “Governor Uba Sani Deserves the Trust of Kaduna People”

Victor Mathew Bobai, Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Governor Uba Sani, maintained that the Governor’s performance has justified the confidence reposed in him by the people of Kaduna State.

According to Bobai:

“Governor Uba Sani deserves to be trusted because he has demonstrated that leadership is measured by service, integrity and the ability to fulfil promises. The completion of the 300-Bed Specialist Hospital, the upgrading of 255 Primary Healthcare Centres, the expansion of road infrastructure across all 23 Local Government Areas, Project 255, investments in education, vocational training and rural transformation all reflect a government that is committed to leaving no community behind. These are visible projects that speak louder than political rhetoric.”»

Editorial Conclusion

Privilege Magazine Editorials observes that Governor Uba Sani’s first three years have been characterised by deliberate efforts to build a more peaceful, connected and inclusive Kaduna State. While citizens may continue to hold differing political views and expectations, many supporters point to investments in roads, healthcare, education, water, rural development and inclusive governance as evidence of the administration’s priorities.

As Kaduna looks ahead, the enduring measure of this administration will remain the sustainability of these projects and the lasting benefits they bring to communities across the state.
