In a sweeping move that’s shaking Nigeria’s agricultural landscape to its core, Governor Uba Sani has unleashed an agro-industrial tsunami — a N74 billion masterstroke transforming Kaduna State into the nation’s food and agribusiness capital.
Here are the 8 powerful waves reshaping the state’s future:
1. FERTILIZER FLOOD: 15,000 Metric Tonnes Unleashed
No farmer left behind — over 120,000 smallholder farmers across all 23 LGAs received free fertilizer from a staggering 500 trucks. Kaduna just rewrote the rulebook on agricultural inclusion.
2. TALLAFIN NOMA REVOLUTION
69,000 farmers empowered with improved seeds, agrochemicals, and more than 100,000 bags of fertilizer for dry season farming. It’s not just assistance — it’s a productivity explosion.
3. MECHANIZATION TSUNAMI
500 power tillers. 10,000 solar water pumps. A fresh fleet of tractors through PPPs. Kaduna’s farmers are moving from hoes to horsepower — and they’re not looking back.
4. THE SAPZ EARTHQUAKE
Nigeria’s first Special Agro-Processing Zone is here — $122 million worth of storage and processing muscle, 2,500 direct jobs, and one million farmers uplifted. Kaduna is now the industrial heartbeat of Nigeria’s agriculture.
5. GLOBAL-GRADE AGRO-EXPORTS VIA AQAC
With the Africa Quality Assurance Centre established in Kaduna — the first in Northern Nigeria — the state’s produce can now compete and conquer in global markets.
6. RURAL ROAD REVIVAL
16 rural access roads upgraded under RAAMP. Farm-to-market access has never been smoother — Kaduna’s rural economy is finally getting the roads it deserves.
7. LIVESTOCK RENAISSANCE VIA L-PRES
Nearly 3,000 farmers trained. Over 299,000 animals vaccinated. Water systems installed, abattoirs upgraded — Kaduna’s livestock sector is finally entering the 21st century.
8. BUDGET WITH MUSCLE
₦74.02 billion in 2025 alone — a 5,000% leap from 2023. With agriculture receiving 9.36% of the total budget, Uba Sani’s Kaduna has become a national trailblazer in agro-funding.
FINALLY
Kaduna’s Tsunami Is Nigeria’s Wake-Up Call
Governor Uba Sani isn’t just investing in agriculture — he’s igniting an agro-industrial revolution. With vision, muscle, and momentum, Kaduna State is riding eight tsunamis into a future of prosperity, food security, and global relevance.
