Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has once again underscored his administration’s unwavering commitment to advancing education across the state. In a recent move highlighting his dedication, Governor Sani allocated valuable land to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, providing them opportunities for housing and improved living conditions.
Since assuming office in May 2023, Governor Uba Sani has positioned education at the core of his development strategy, describing it as a powerful tool for individual empowerment and societal transformation. His administration has launched numerous initiatives to modernize and expand educational infrastructure, enhance teacher capacity, and integrate technology to make learning accessible and impactful for every child in Kaduna State.
At the recent KADA EduPACT International Summit 2025, Sani highlighted comprehensive reforms including curriculum redesign, digital literacy, and embracing vocational education pathways aimed at equipping students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills for a rapidly evolving world. Efforts like the Reaching Out-of-School Children (ROOSC) Project aim to tackle the lingering crisis of out-of-school children, targeting to return thousands of learners to classrooms.
The land allocation to ABU staff members marks a significant step in improving the welfare of academic personnel, whose contributions are vital to sustaining high-quality tertiary education. This gesture addresses long-standing housing challenges faced by university staff, reinforcing the governor’s reputation as a proponent of supportive policies for educators.
Governor Sani’s administration has also prioritized reducing tuition fees and investing in Kaduna State University’s expansion, which recently saw the National Universities Commission approve 40 new academic programs for the 2024/2025 academic year. These measures collectively seek to enhance accessibility, promote innovation, and align higher education offerings with both national needs and global trends.
The governor’s initiatives have garnered praise from education stakeholders, including Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, who commended Kaduna State as a model for educational reforms nationwide. Emphasizing that teachers remain central to any successful education system, Alausa highlighted Kaduna’s leadership in teacher training, quality assurance, and inclusive education policies.
Governor Uba Sani’s holistic approach—spanning infrastructure, teacher development, student welfare, and community engagement—demonstrates a robust commitment to fostering a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready educational landscape in Kaduna State. The ongoing policy advancements and strategic partnerships are designed to ensure the state’s youth are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s socioeconomic development.
