Governor Uba Sani advanced Kaduna State's economic transformation agenda through two major executive initiatives focused on agriculture and solid minerals development. The Governor flagged off the 2026 Wet Season Distribution of 500 truckloads of free fertiliser alongside mechanisation equipment designed to support approximately 150,000 smallholder farmers across all twenty-three Local Government Areas. The intervention forms part of the administration's broader agricultural strategy, supported by a significant increase in budgetary allocation to agriculture and reinforced by previous fertiliser distribution programmes, agricultural insurance coverage, and farmer support initiatives. The Governor linked improved security conditions with increased farming activities and reaffirmed the administration's commitment to strengthening food security, mechanised agriculture, and rural livelihoods.
Separately, Governor Uba Sani hosted the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), culminating in the execution of two Memoranda of Understanding valued at approximately $500 million. The agreements establish a strategic framework for identifying, financing, and developing high-potential mining assets through collaboration between the Africa Finance Corporation, Kaduna Mining Development Company (KMDC), and the Jema'a Resource Project. The partnership is intended to accelerate commercial mining activities, strengthen mineral exploration, attract long-term investment, promote industrialisation, encourage local value addition, and position Kaduna State as a leading destination for responsible resource development while maintaining state ownership of its mineral resources.
The combined initiatives demonstrate a coordinated governance strategy that simultaneously strengthens agricultural productivity and accelerates economic diversification through strategic investment in natural resources. Expanding access to fertiliser, mechanisation equipment, agricultural insurance, and broader farmer support improves production capacity, strengthens rural incomes, and contributes to greater food security. By sustaining investment in agriculture while improving security conditions for farming communities, the administration reinforces the relationship between public safety, agricultural resilience, and long-term rural development.
The mining agreements represent an important institutional step toward transforming Kaduna State's solid mineral resources into productive economic assets capable of attracting substantial private investment and supporting industrial development. Strategic collaboration with specialised investment and technical partners strengthens investor confidence while promoting responsible resource management and expanding opportunities for employment, infrastructure development, and value-added industrial activities. Together, the agricultural and mining initiatives broaden Kaduna State's economic base by reducing dependence on traditional revenue sources while creating complementary growth opportunities across both primary production and industrial sectors. The emphasis on institutional partnerships, transparent resource governance, and long-term investment planning also reinforces the state's objective of improving competitiveness, strengthening economic resilience, and supporting sustainable development through coordinated executive action.
