The Kaduna state All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Senator Uba Sani has promised to focus his infrastructural development on rural areas when voted into office.
The APC candidate, who made this promise during a Town Hall Interactive Meeting with Stakeholders from Southern Kaduna senatorial zone in Kafanchan, Monday, said the present administration has improved the infrastructure of the three cities of the state and their surrounding local governments, in its Urban Renewal Programme.
He reiterated that the Urban Renewal Programme has built new link roads, improved existing ones, built bridges and beautified Kaduna, Zaria and Kafanchan towns and the projects are ongoing. He promised to complete all ongoing Urban Renewal Projects and focus more on the rural areas, “i will build roads, schools and modern facilities as Governor of Kaduna state.
“Our administration will embark on youth empowerment with focus on skills acquisition programmes. Our government will support youths and women after the empowerment programmes. Our government cannot employ all the teeming youths in Kaduna state but my administration will aim at making them self sufficient and employers of labour.”
Sen. Uba Sani who stated that he built a computer complex at the College of Education Gidan Waya, Kaduna State University (KASU), Federal College of Education, Zaria, even before he went to the National Assembly, called on leaders and elites at all levels to give brilliant and indigent students scholarship, adding that education should not be left to government alone.
The governorship candidate advised that political office holders should not politicize insecurity, adding that “anyone that tells you that he will address insecurity is not telling you the truth. As a lawmaker, I have sponsored a constitution amendment bill, advocating for state police. The issue is now with state assemblies and it is taking time. So, I sponsored a bill, advocating that vigilantes should be allowed to work with security agents. The bill has been passed in the Senate and it is now with the House of Representatives.”
