Kaduna State governor, Senator Uba Sani, yesterday announced a landmark provision of ₦100 million for each of the state’s 255 political wards in the 2026 draft budget, marking the state’s most direct grassroots funding intervention in decades.

Governor Sani said Kaduna’s new budget model is built on trust and inclusivity: “No ward, no community, no LGA will be left behind. Kaduna must work for everyone. The 2026 budget is your budget, and the ₦100 million is for you to decide, not for the government to dictate.”

Speaking at the special town hall meeting for the public presentation of the budget, the governor said the decision was driven by citizens’ complaints and community feedback from last year’s town hall sessions, where residents detailed the huge developmental gaps across rural communities.
