Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has assured residents that his administration will not borrow a single kobo to finance projects, declaring that all ongoing and inherited projects will be completed within his tenure without plunging the state into fresh debts.
The governor made the pledge on Thursday at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a 16.5-kilometre asphalt road connecting Kayarda Tasha, Kayarda Gari, Unguwan Sarki, Maskawa, and Dan Alhaji communities in Lere Local Government Area.
“This project will be executed without borrowing a single naira. We have inherited several abandoned projects across Kaduna State, and I want to assure you that my administration will complete them before the end of our tenure. We will not leave behind debts or uncompleted works,” he said.
According to the governor, the road project, described as “unprecedented in Lere Local Government,” will be handled by a reputable construction firm to ensure quality delivery and long-term durability.
Sani went further to enumerate some of the inherited projects in Lere already completed or nearing completion under his watch.
“We have completed the Rewa Bridge that links Gure town. The Marjeri Bridge is also completed. Tudai Bridge will be finished within a month or two. I have also taken steps to restore electricity supply to Yarkasuwa, Kayarda, Ramin Kura, and Mariri towns,” he revealed, adding that his administration’s focus remains on providing basic infrastructure across rural communities.
Sani, who became governor in May 2023, has repeatedly emphasised prudent financial management, especially at a time when several states are battling huge debt burdens. “Our priority is the welfare of our people, not borrowing to embark on projects that may mortgage the future of our children,” he stressed.
