The Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani has pledged to focus his government attention to the development of the rural areas to improve the human capital index of the state.
He said the plan would be achieved through “improving primary education, upscale of the healthcare centres, construction of critical roads, supporting agricultural services and empowering women and youth through vocational skills.”
The governor stated this while featuring on a Channels Television interview programme on Tuesday
Gov Sani scored his predecessor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, high for the successful implementation of the Kaduna Urban Renewal Project and assured that his administration would build on that and extend the developmental projects to the rural areas which would help in curbing insecurity.
On the removal of subsidies, the governor also said he met with the organised labour unions in the state and they have resolved to work together to achieve the Kaduna State Project.
“I had a meeting with the organised labour in Kaduna State and we came out with some resolutions. They assured me that even when the national body embarks on a strike they will not participate.
“And this is because I have been working with them closely in the last few years in Kaduna. They are also aware that I have been part of them because of my involvement in the fight for the rights of workers in the last 30 years.
“For the first time they are working with someone who was involved in the fight for workers’ rights and they believe this is their government,” he added
