GRATEFUL FOR THIS CALL TO SERVE AS NATIONAL PATRON OF THE BOYS BRIGRADE NIGERIA

To God be the Glory.

I am deeply honored and humbled to have been appointed as a National Patron of The Boys' Brigade, Nigeria (TBBN).

2026 WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY: STANDING WITH THOSE WHO SHAPE OUR FUTURE

Today, I join teachers in Jema’a Local Government, Kaduna State and around the world in celebrating World Teachers’ Day.

This year’s theme, “Standing with teachers: 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures,” recognises the important role teachers occupy in the development of our communities and the future of our children.

For us in Jema’a, standing with teachers means more than appreciating them with words, but must also mean recognising their service, supporting their welfare and creating an environment in which they can continue to give their best.

This is why our administration has given attention their teachers' welfare and professional advancement. This including the promotion of teachers with the corresponding implementation and salary adjustments due to them. We consider this an important part of recognising the value of their service and motivating them to continue giving their best to our children.

We have also continued to support the broader education system. Our interventions have included attention to classroom infrastructure across communities, because teachers need decent learning environments in which to do their work effectively.

Similarly, in 2026, our administration supported 250 students from across the 12 wards with their WAEC registration fees, particularly students from less privileged backgrounds, helping to ease the financial burden on their families and ensure that lack of funds would not stand between them and their examinations.

These interventions are part of our belief that investment in education must address both sides of the classroom: the teacher who teaches and the child who learns.

I therefore commend all teachers in Jema’a for their dedication, patience and sacrifice. I recognise the important work you do every day in shaping minds, building character and preparing the next generation.

The future of Jema’a is being shaped in our classrooms today, and our teachers are among those entrusted with that responsibility.

As we celebrate you today, I assure you that we will continue, within the resources and responsibilities available to the local government, to support education and the people who make it possible.

To all our teachers, I say thank you for your service and for helping to shape our future.

Happy World Teachers’ Day 2026.

Jema'a Local Government Area

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE

I received with sadness the news of the passing of Mama Angelina Yohanna, beloved mother of my Special Adviser on People With Disabilities, Hon. Zorro Yohanna.

Mama’s passing is a painful loss, not only to the Yohanna family but to all those who knew and shared in her life. At a time like this, words can hardly ease the pain of losing a mother.

On behalf of the Council, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Hon. Zorro Yohanna and the entire Yohanna family. I pray that God Almighty grants you the strength and comfort to bear this great loss.

May He forgive Mama Angelina’s shortcomings, grant her eternal rest, and comfort everyone mourning her departure.

May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

INDEPENDENCE: UBA SANI FREES 27 INMATES, CLEMENCY BENEFICIARIES EXCEED 500

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has granted clemency to 27 inmates in correctional facilities across the state to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, bringing the number of beneficiaries of his administration’s clemency interventions to more than 500.

The exercise covers the release of eligible inmates as well as the payment of fines and compensation for others, as part of the administration’s restorative justice initiative.

The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, disclosed this in a statement in Kaduna, saying the administration has committed more than ₦300 million to the payment of fines and compensation for victims since Governor Sani assumed office in May 2023.

Maiyaki said the latest intervention reflects the Governor’s commitment to a justice system that balances accountability and public safety with rehabilitation, reconciliation and the possibility of a second chance for deserving individuals.

“As Nigeria celebrates 66 years of independence, Governor Uba Sani’s intervention gives practical expression to the compassion and shared humanity upon which enduring communities are built."

“The significance of clemency extends beyond release from custody; it lies in restoring hope and opening a credible path towards responsible citizenship,” he said.

Providing further details, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Sir James A. Kanyip, said the latest exercise continues the Governor’s practice of extending clemency on significant national occasions, including New Year, Democracy Day and Independence Day.

Kanyip explained that the prerogative of mercy is exercised through established processes, with due regard to accountability, rehabilitation and the responsibilities that accompany freedom.

He said the payment of fines and compensation gives the initiative an important restorative dimension by removing financial barriers that may keep deserving inmates in custody while also recognising the interests of victims.

According to the Attorney-General, the scale and continuity of the interventions demonstrate that clemency under the administration is not a one-off gesture but part of a broader approach to justice and social reintegration.

“Each beneficiary represents a life offered another opportunity, a family reunited and a community with a renewed stake in successful reintegration. This commitment reflects the belief that justice serves society best when it also makes renewal possible,” Kanyip said.

The Commissioner for Information and Culture further reaffirmed the commitment of Governor Uba Sani to protecting society and respecting victims’ interests while supporting deserving beneficiaries to return to their families and communities as responsible and productive citizens.

RT. HON. SPEAKER TAJUDEEN ABBAS AT 61: A STATESMAN, A BROTHER, A SOURCE OF PRIDE

On behalf of the Government and people of Kaduna State, I warmly felicitate with my dear brother, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, PhD, GCON, on his 61st birthday. Today, we celebrate a distinguished son of Kaduna whose life demonstrates how scholarship, humility and steadfast devotion to the people can elevate public service and strengthen the foundations of our democracy.

Mr. Speaker, you are a thoroughbred leader, a gentleman of uncommon grace and a grassroots politician whose connection with the people remains enduring. From Zaria Federal Constituency to communities across Kaduna State and beyond, your immense following rests on trust earned through accessibility, empathy and faithful representation. The affection you command reflects the consistency with which you have listened, served and upheld the dignity of those who entrusted you with their hopes.

As Iyan Zazzau, you carry a cherished heritage with distinction; as Speaker, you have embraced the larger responsibilities of national leadership with wisdom and integrity. You are a core nationalist whose commitment to Nigeria rises above sectional considerations. Your capacity to build consensus across political, ethnic and religious differences affirms a conviction we share: that our diversity must enrich our common purpose and that leadership must give every Nigerian a sense of belonging.

In my considered judgment, you are one of the finest Speakers to have presided over the House of Representatives since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999. Your calm authority, legislative experience and respect for colleagues have fostered stability, cooperation and purposeful deliberation. Through your stewardship, the House continues to demonstrate the value of disciplined leadership, institutional responsibility and legislation responsive to the aspirations of our citizens.

I particularly commend your outstanding commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. As one of its foremost champions, you have provided invaluable legislative support for reforms directed towards national renewal, economic opportunity and improved wellbeing. Your partnership in this endeavour reflects a clear understanding that the ultimate measure of governance is the difference it makes in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

For me, your birthday also honours a dear brother, trusted ally and generous team player. Our partnership in the onerous but joyful task of restoring Kaduna State’s glory and pride remains a source of encouragement. Together, we are working to renew Kaduna’s promise as the soul and capital of Northern Nigeria, strengthening unity, widening opportunity and ensuring that progress reaches our communities. I deeply cherish your counsel, solidarity and unwavering commitment to our people.

As you mark this milestone, I pray that Almighty Allah grants you sound health, enduring strength, greater wisdom and many more years of fruitful service to Kaduna State and Nigeria. May your home remain blessed, your endeavours prosper and your legacy of service continue to inspire generations.

Happy 61st birthday, Mr. Speaker, my dear brother. May the years ahead bring fulfilment and abundant grace.

Senator Uba Sani, CON
Governor, Kaduna State
