 Gov. Uba Sani Distributes 600 Transformers Across Kaduna, Says Electricity Is A Right


Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna State, has said electricity access should no longer be limited to a handful of urban areas but guaranteed for every community.


He made the remarks while launching Phase One of the distribution of 600 transformers and related equipment to all 23 local government areas of the state. 


The event also featured the rollout of 10,000 solar-powered streetlights.


Sani stressed that electricity is not a luxury but the lifeblood of a modern society, noting that the initiative would empower welders, tailors, cold-room operators, ICT centres, and manufacturers to work more efficiently and reliably. 


He said the administration’s electrification agenda is aimed at boosting economic activity and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.


According to the governor, stable power supply strengthens critical sectors by powering hospitals, preserving vaccines, lighting classrooms, driving industries, supporting irrigation, and sustaining small businesses. 


He warned that without dependable electricity, development slows, security weakens, and opportunities shrink.


Sani added that since taking office nearly three years ago, his government has revived abandoned projects and introduced new ones. 


Under a previously stalled Indian-Exim Bank programme, he said solar mini-grids have been completed in 190 of 225 primary healthcare centres, delivering 1.35 megawatts of clean energy. He also disclosed that 32 neglected systems, 21 in primary healthcare centres and 11 in general hospitals were restored, leading to improved service delivery and a reduction in maternal and child mortality.


The governor further announced the completion of the long-delayed 2x60MVA, 132/33kV substation at the Green Economic Zone in Maraban Jos, describing it as a strategic investment that will attract businesses, stimulate manufacturing, and enhance Kaduna’s competitiveness.


In Kubau LGA, he said the 100-kilowatt Damau solar project has brought electricity to 450 households after a decade without power. 


Additional distributed generation projects totalling 1,694 kilowatts are ongoing in Chara, Gidan Kundi, Gora, and Hawan Mai Mashi.


Sani also highlighted projects carried out across the state’s three senatorial districts and revealed that on October 22, 2025, the state signed a memorandum of understanding with the Rural Electrification Agency. 


The partnership includes a 1.5-megawatt project for Kaduna Polytechnic and an 8-megawatt allocation for Ahmadu Bello University.


He added that the government is developing urban power projects, including a 2-megawatt initiative in the TRAPCO community, with plans for 2 megawatts in Shika and 4 megawatts in Makarfi to strengthen local manufacturing.
