President Bola Tinubu has on Thursday inaugurated a diverse array of transformative development projects in Kaduna State, emphasising the state’s dedication to infrastructure improvement, healthcare, technical education, and economic advancement.

Under Governor Uba Sani’s leadership, the initiatives encompass various sectors, including the newly opened 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital, significant upgrades to urban and rural roads, the establishment of vocational training centers, and the rollout of 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses aimed at enhancing the public transportation system in the state.

A key highlight of the visit was the launch of three newly created Institutes of Vocational Training and Skills Development located in Rigachikun, Soba, and Samaru Kataf.

These centers are intended to equip youth with technical skills, foster entrepreneurship, and position Kaduna as a premier center for human capital development.

President Tinubu also flagged off several road projects, including the 24-kilometre Kafanchan township road, the Tudun Biri road, and a 22-kilometre stretch linking Kauru and Kubau local government areas.

These roads are expected to enhance inter-community access, stimulate local economies, and ease the movement of goods and people across the state.
