Uba Sani Claims Role in Defence Minister's Appointment

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani revealed during an interview on Trust TV’s Daily Politics that he was instrumental in the appointment of retired General Christopher Musa as Minister of Defence by President Bola Tinubu. Sani expressed his continued support for Tinubu, citing the benefits for Kaduna State rather than personal favors.

He mentioned the approval of four new federal universities in Kaduna, including the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia and the Federal University of Education in Zaria. Sani also discussed federal road projects, such as the reconstruction of the long-abandoned Kaduna-Birnin Gwari road and the ongoing work on the Zaria-Soba-Pambegua road.

Additionally, he noted the inclusion of Kaduna in a proposed light rail program and the Federal Government's intervention that allowed his administration to increase the purchase of compressed natural gas buses from 50 to 100, which facilitated 5.2 million passenger trips within 18 months.
