“From Infrastructure To Impact: Uba Sani’s Bold New Era For Kaduna”
In a country often fixated on concrete monuments and flashy infrastructure, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State is crafting a bold new definition of leadership, one that reaches beyond the visible and ventures deep into the lives of the people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
While overseeing massive urban and rural infrastructure projects, Sani has made it clear that brick-and-mortar accomplishments are only a means to a greater end: liberating citizens from the grip of multidimensional poverty.
According to NIVONEWS, Governor Uba Sani’s administration is not just tarring roads or erecting structures — it is building a future anchored in health, education, agriculture, and economic inclusion. His strategic departure from optics-driven governance is placing Kaduna on a trajectory rarely seen in contemporary Nigerian politics: a human capital revolution designed to uplift lives, not just skylines.
Kaduna’s roads now link more than towns — they connect farmers to markets and children to schools. But for Governor Sani, infrastructure is only meaningful when it serves people. His policies reflect a deep understanding of poverty as a multifaceted affliction — one that demands action across education, health, job creation, and security. This vision has drawn comparisons to the developmental philosophies of global icons like Bill Gates, who once said, “By unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity.”
According to NIVONEWS, that’s exactly the path Kaduna is pursuing under Uba Sani. In the education sector, the KADA EduPACT International Summit 2025 marked a turning point, introducing a six-pillar roadmap for educational transformation. With over 1,000 classrooms built or rehabilitated and tuition fees slashed by 40%, Kaduna is now offering not just access, but opportunity. Vocational institutes in Rigachikun, Soba, and Samaru Kataf — commissioned by President Tinubu himself — are bridging the skills gap, offering training in everything from artificial intelligence to welding, and empowering youth to compete in a 21st-century economy.
Health, too, is at the heart of his human capital strategy. From rural clinic upgrades to widespread immunisation campaigns, the administration has aggressively tackled maternal and child mortality, while also investing in preventive health education. A healthier population, Governor Sani argues, is a more productive one — and Kaduna is already reaping the early dividends.
Agriculture, historically the backbone of Kaduna’s economy, has received unprecedented attention. According to NIVONEWS, the state’s agricultural budget surged from ₦1.4 billion in 2023 to ₦74.2 billion in 2025, driven by initiatives like the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone in Chikun. These investments target food security and economic diversification, aiming to position Kaduna as Nigeria’s agro-industrial powerhouse.
But none of this would be possible without peace. Uba Sani’s security-first approach has relied on data-driven strategies, inter-agency collaboration, and grassroots engagement, drastically improving safety and reviving community confidence.
Complementing all of this is an aggressive financial inclusion campaign. Over 2.5 million unbanked Kaduna residents were brought into the digital economy through fintech innovations like Credo and PocketMoni. At the Kaduna Economic and Financial Inclusion Summit (KEFIS), Governor Sani declared: “Development is not real unless everyone can participate in the economy.”
Under his leadership, Kaduna is not just laying down concrete — it is laying down legacies. The state is turning classrooms into launchpads, health clinics into lifelines, and farms into engines of prosperity. Uba Sani’s Kaduna is proof that when leadership prioritises people over projects, the returns are exponential.
This, ultimately, is governance beyond brick-and-mortar — a model that should challenge every Nigerian leader. As Governor Uba Sani declared, “Let us build an education system that is inclusive, technology-driven, and resilient — one that reflects the best of our people and their boundless potential.”
”NIVONEWS REPORTS”
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
Nigerian music star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has declared that he no longer impregnates women.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The singer made the statement on Saturday during a live performance at Rehab Lounge in Calgary, Canada.
While performing his hit song True Love, 2Baba paused to interact with the audience and playfully asked the women present to identify where his true love was.
He jokingly wondered whether she was standing at the back of the venue or somewhere in front of him before making a remark about his experiences with women.
The award-winning musician told the audience that he had stopped getting women pregnant, adding that he had been making the same confession wherever he performed recently.
He said, “For the purpose of this show, I will pretend like I’ve never seen anything before. Where’s my true love? Is she back there? Is she right here? Is she somewhere here? Where’s my true love? You people shouldn’t put out me for trouble.
“As I said, some ladies they fear to shout. See, everywhere I go these days, I make this confession. As I say, some ladies they fear to shout. I say, I don’t fear to shout. Because I don’t stop to dey give woman belle. Ask anyone, they’ll tell you, I don’t do such thing things again.”
The singer’s comment comes amid public interest in his personal life and relationships.
2Baba was previously married to Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The couple announced their separation in January 2025 after having two children together.
