Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker, House of Representatives, has flagged off development projects in Kubau Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The projects, facilitated by Abbas, include a 10-classroom block at Banki Primary School, with staff offices, VIP toilets and furniture. Gov. Uba Sani served as the special guest of honour at the ceremony, which highlighted collaboration between the federal and state governments in delivering development projects. Abbas said the interventions were designed to strengthen education, healthcare, infrastructure and community development in the constituency. He said 10 major projects had been earmarked for Kubau, including male and female hostels at the College of Nursing, Pambegua. Others are a National Open University campus, community library, community hall, rural market, recreational centre and renovation of facilities at the College of Nursing. Abbas also listed the Kankia Kargi road among the projects, adding that three additional roads had been proposed for consideration. The proposed roads are Kargi Dokan Majaki through Kangar, Anchau Hakiya and kwanar Mainono-Banki. He assured residents that he and the Kaduna Government would share responsibility for the additional road projects to ensure their implementation. Abbas described the classroom block as an investment in children’s future, saying every child deserved equal opportunities to learn and succeed. He urged contractors to use quality materials and comply with approved specifications, stressing that the facilities should serve generations to come. According to him, the National Open University study centre would enable workers, teachers, farmers, traders and young parents to pursue further education while meeting other responsibilities. He said the proposed library would improve access to knowledge, while the community hall would support learning, training and civic activities. Abbas noted that Kubau’s agricultural potential, including the production of maize, millet, groundnuts, beans and sugarcane, made education and access to modern agricultural knowledge important. He said the projects aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly its emphasis on human capital development, education and primary healthcare. The speaker commended the Kaduna Government for its commitment to rural development, saying cooperation among the federal, state and local governments was necessary to achieve sustainable development.

Sani, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. AbdulKadir Mu’azu Mayere, was commended for partnering with federal representatives to bring development projects to rural communities. Mayere urged residents to support Tinubu, Sani and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections, citing ongoing development initiatives. The event formed part of Abbas’s and Kaduna state government project engagements across Kaduna State, following activities in Soba and Kudan local government areas.
