From:Femi Oyelola in Kaduna

Former Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Yusuf Zailani, has said that successive administrations in Kaduna State failed to deliver on their promises to the people until the coming of the government of Senator Uba Sani.

He said that Governor Uba Sani’s policies have impacted the vast majority of the people and listed enhanced security, the distribution of free fertilizer to farmers, and road construction, as well as the overall rural transformation of the administration, as some of the laudable policies.

Hon Zailani spoke when Governor Uba Sani and some senior Government officials paid a condolence visit at his family house at Rigachukun on the outskirts of Kaduna metropolis, located in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The former speaker disclosed that successive administrations have been promising to construct the Gadan-Gayan to Kujama junction road but have failed to deliver on their promises until the coming of the present Government.

He said that for 46 years, the people have been yearning for the construction of that road, since the civilian administration of the late Alhaji Shehu Shagari in the Second Republic.

Zailani said that he mentioned the state of the road’s disrepair to Governor Uba Sani casually, and the next day, Government officials came and started taking measurements, adding that ‘’right now, the road is almost completed, remaining just a link bridge.’’

He said that many farmers will benefit from this project when completed, ‘’so we are duty-bound to commend His Excellency, the Governor.’’

The ex-speaker also commended Governor Uba Sani for distributing fertilizer free of charge to farmers, saying that this kind gesture is unprecedented in the history of Kaduna State.
