The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Kaduna Network Centre has named Gov. Uba Sani as the Best Performing Governor on Security and Development.
This, according to the station, was in recognition of his administration’s efforts to restore peace and promote inclusive governance across the state.
The award was presented during the station’s 2025 Customers and Awards Night, held at the NAF Club, Kaduna.
The Governor was represented by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki.
The event was chaired by Hon. Aminu Jaji, and attended by prominent personalities, including Sen. Shehu Sani, members of the National Assembly, Prof. Idris Bugaje, media executives and other stakeholders.
In his acceptance remarks, Maiyaki thanked NTA Kaduna Network Centre for the honour and said the award reflected the measurable progress recorded under Sani’s inclusive leadership model.
He listed some of the achievements of the administration, including the reopening of over 500,000 hectares of farmland.
Others were the revival of key markets in Birnin Gwari, Giwa and Chikun, construction and rehabilitation of more than 750 kilometres of roads, and distribution of 900 trucks of fertiliser to over 200,000 farmers.
He added that many schools, health facilities and farmlands previously shut due to insecurity had resumed operations, underscoring what he described as the impact of the governor’s peace and security initiatives.
Earlier, NTA Zonal Director, Ishaq Abbas, commended Sani for stabilising the state and acknowledged reforms introduced by the Director General of NTA, which he said had improved the broadcaster’s operations and public engagement.
