Governor Uba Sani has said that the colouration between House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and the Kaduna State government exemplifies cooperative governance at its best.

The governor also said that the partnership is “built on mutual respect, shared vision, and an unyielding commitment to the welfare of our people.”

‘’Together, we are demonstrating that when leaders work in harmony, development accelerates and trust in public institutions is strengthened,’’ he added.

Governor Uba Sani made this known at a special constituency empowerment programme organised by the House speaker, Abbas, at the Nuhu Babajo Stadium in Zaria on Sunday.

Rt Hon Abbas distributed 850 motorcycles and 30 vehicles, as well as commissioned sports centres across Zaria Federal Constituency as part of his empowerment programme.

Teachers, religious leaders, polling unit heads, community support groups, and security operatives, including the Old CPC Support Group for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Uba Sani, benefitted.

Speaking at the ceremony, the governor noted that the empowerment program “reflects the Speaker’s unwavering belief that public office must translate into visible improvement in the lives of the people, and that democracy finds its truest meaning when it delivers dignity, opportunity, and hope.”

Governor Uba Sani further said that the empowerment programme ‘’underscores a development philosophy anchored on productivity, inclusion, and human wellbeing.’’

According to him, the “empowerment programme, which began days ago and now reaches its crescendo, is a powerful reminder of what purposeful leadership can achieve.”

In his address, Rt Hon Abbas recalled that on Friday, the empowerment programme had “focused on economic empowerment through training opportunities and financial grants for women and young people.”

The House speaker noted that ‘’today, we advance this commitment by investing in mobility, organisational, and community infrastructure.’’

‘’Together, these interventions form an integrated approach to building capacity, improving service delivery, and strengthening the systems that sustain education, security, political participation, and youth development across Zaria Federal Constituency and Kaduna State in general,’’ he explained.

According to him, Sunday’s empowerment “is about rewarding service and reinforcing grassroots structures. It is about equipping those who hold communities together with tools that make their work more effective and their impact more visible.’’

‘’For this reason, we are distributing 850 motorcycles to primary and secondary school teachers, Imams, polling unit heads, support groups, and security personnel. Improved mobility reduces daily hardship and increases efficiency.

‘’Teachers can reach classrooms more consistently. Religious leaders can engage wider communities. Grassroots organisers can operate effectively across all wards,’’ he added.

The speaker further states that “security personnel can respond faster and maintain a stronger presence. When mobility improves, service improves, and when service improves, communities grow stronger.’’

He also presented 30 vehicles to the Old CPC Support Group for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Uba Sani Continuity 2027 in recognition of loyalty, sacrifice, and enduring commitment.

‘’Politics is sustained by structure, discipline, and organisation. The old CPC tradition in Kaduna State and across the north helped lay the foundation of the political movement that produced the APC and delivered national leadership.

‘’This presentation reflects appreciation and reinforces readiness. Strong structures remain essential to political stability, mobilisation and governance,’’ he clarified.

Justifying the commissioning of sports centres across Zaria Federal Constituency, he said that sports play a vital role in community development, adding that ‘’it promotes discipline, teamwork and confidence.”

Earlier, Governor Uba Sani had commissioned a 100-kilowatt solar mini-grid at Damau in the Kubau Local Government.

Underscoring the significance of the mini-grid, he disclosed that ‘’for more than a decade, the people of Damau lived without access to electricity.’

‘’Daily life was shaped by limitation. Markets closed early, small businesses struggled to grow, healthcare delivery was constrained, and children relied on candlelight to study,’’ he lamented.

Governor Uba Sani pointed out that “such conditions diminish productivity and weaken social progress.”

He disclosed that the project is a “partnership between the Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria, the National Assembly, and the Kaduna State government.”

The governor commended House Speaker Abbas, whose “leadership and sustained commitment to development have helped to unlock opportunities that directly benefit communities such as Damau.”

He also acknowledged the efforts of the managing director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Mr Abba Aliyu, for believing in our vision and the commendable work he is doing.

The governor also praised the House member who represents the Kubau/Ikara Federal Constituency, Hon. Aliyu Mustapha Abdullahi, “whose advocacy ensured that this community remained firmly on the agenda of rural electrification.”

He emphasised that ‘’this project demonstrates what is possible when the executive and the legislature work in concert, guided by a shared sense of responsibility to the people they serve.”
