In a commendation letter, Vice President Kashim Shettima highlighted Governor Sani’s leadership in chairing the State Council, noting that the initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda and sets a benchmark for other states.
“By creating a dedicated institutional framework for skills development, Kaduna State has shown a proactive commitment to reducing unemployment and advancing human capital in line with national goals,” Shettima stated.
He described the creation of the Kaduna State Council on Skills as a clear reflection of the governor’s vision for integrated economic growth and emphasized that the “Kaduna Model” serves as a key template for the ‘Bottom-Up’ approach, ensuring vocational and technical training reaches grassroots communities effectively.
The Vice President encouraged Governor Sani to sustain the momentum and expressed hope for continued collaboration between the National Secretariat and Kaduna State Council to harmonize standards and expand the impact of skills interventions.
Governor Sani has also boosted technical and vocational education through the establishment of three state-of-the-art Kaduna State Institutes of Vocational Training and Skills Development (KIVTSD) in Soba, Rigachikun, and Samarun Kataf. These centers, serving the three senatorial districts, are expected to train 12,000 artisans annually in fields such as welding, aluminum fabrication, fashion design, and solar panel installation, with graduates receiving certified credentials through a partnership with the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
Additionally, the governor plans to transform Panteka Market, home to about 38,000 artisans, into an industrial hub covering welding, fabrication, carpentry, joinery, and masonry, further expanding opportunities for skill acquisition and economic growth.
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that it is part of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Thursday, NNPP National Secretary Ogini Olaposi said the party is not affiliated with the ADC and has no plans to join or merge with the coalition.
He clarified that the involvement of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and members of the Kwankwasiya Movement in ADC activities does not represent the NNPP as a political party.
Olaposi also claimed that only a minority of Kwankwasiya supporters followed Kwankwaso, insisting that many of them have since joined the APC.
He further accused Atiku of misinformation, stressing that NNPP remains an independent political party focused on contesting elections on its own platform.
According to him, any previous association with the Kwankwasiya Movement ended after the 2023 general elections, adding that Kwankwaso and some associates had already been expelled from the party.
The NNPP maintained that it respects other political parties but has no interest in joining the ADC coalition.
National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has said the 2027 presidential election would be concluded by 12 noon if a Peter Obi–Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket emerges under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Tanko made the remark during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while reacting to comments by ADC chieftain Dele Momodu, who had suggested a possible Atiku–Obi alliance.
Momodu had argued that a pairing of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi could perform strongly in the election, citing their past collaboration in 2019 and Obi’s 2023 electoral performance.
Responding, Tanko questioned the logic of choosing a candidate who might win a primary but lose the general election, insisting that the Obi–Kwankwaso combination would be more formidable.
He further warned that if the ADC fails to zone its presidential ticket to the South, the party risks losing the 2027 election.
Tanko maintained that with Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso on the same ticket, victory would be decisive and swift.
