Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, says his administration will do everything to implement vital projects in the state.
The governor spoke while inaugurating the Kagarko township road, three months after the construction was flagged off.
The inauguration occurred on Monday as part of activities marking the second anniversary of the Sani administration.
The governor restated his commitment to bridging the infrastructure gap between urban and rural communities.

“This is one of the most important local governments in the state, and we believe we must do everything possible to implement vital projects, particularly roads, hospitals, and other basic amenities that will transform the lives of the people of Kagarko,” he said.
Sani added that his administration embarked on 79 road projects across Kaduna, totalling approximately 780 kilometers.
Out of these, 25 have been completed, including the newly commissioned road in Kagarko, he said.

“This road will not only connect markets and people to infrastructure like hospitals and schools, but will also enable our farmers to access their farms and help citizens move easily between their homes, farms, and healthcare facilities,” he added.
Sani said over N400 million has been invested in an electrification project to restore power to the area.
“I am proud to announce that we have invested over N400 million to ensure lasting electrification that will reach every home,” he said, noting that the project would be completed within the next one or two months.
The governor spoke about the presence of private investors in Kagarko, including a firm that has “committed N650 million” to local operations.

“Supporting small businesses is key to promoting economic prosperity. They create jobs, reduce poverty, and uplift families,” he said.
“This is crucial not just for economic growth, but also for addressing insecurity in our state.”
Sani praised traditional, religious, and youth leaders for maintaining peace and stability in the area.
