Governor Uba Sani has noted that his administration has removed one of the barriers to acquiring tertiary education in the state by reducing the tuition fees of Kaduna state-owned tertiary institutions by 50%.
The governor pointed out that the reduction in tuition fees has paved the way for more students from humble backgrounds to bag university degrees with ease in Kaduna state.
Represented by his Principal Private Secretary, Professor Bello Ayuba, the governor spoke at the inauguration of the Kaduna state University chapter of Kaduna state Students Union and public lecture held at the university campus.
The governor thanked the students for giving him the Sword of Honour Award and for making the strides recorded by his administration the focal point of the public lecture.
He promised that the ‘’Government will continue to support students and the youth generally to realise their ambitions. On your part, make sure that an atmosphere of peace prevails to allow for government’s development programmes to run their full course.’’
The governor advised students not to allow agents of disunity and chaos to use them to destabilise their communities and steer them away from their career goals.
The Governor recalled that Kaduna State was under siege owing to the insecurity in some of the local government areas, which had dire consequences on agricultural and business activities.
He noted that the security challenges have now been drastically reduced owing to the combined commitment of security agencies, resulting in safer highways, people returning to their farms and the opening of local markets.
The union said Governor Sani has truly redefined the concept of good governance by prioritising education, infrastructural development and youth empowerment.
