Alhaji Aminu Zaria, close associate of Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, praised the governor’s efforts to transform the state despite inheriting significant debt. He explained that with N4.7 billion deducted monthly from the state’s federal allocation, Sani is left with only N8 billion while ideally should have been receiving N12 billion.
Zaria while speaking to newesmen hailed Sani’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, noting that no new vehicles have been purchased for any officials, including the governor and the Deputy Governor.
“He believes in leading by example,” Zaria stated.
He recalled that the governor has also cut his own salary in half and reduced bonuses for his commissioners.
Despite the N800 million deducted monthly from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) account due to inherited debts, Zaria expressed optimism about boosting revenue through strategic planning.
“Governor Sani is committed to creating an environment that fosters investment and local business,” he said, emphasizing that effective leadership can lead Kaduna towards a brighter future.
