Annual Report & Highlights | Kaduna South LGA

Executive Review

A Message from the Chairman

In the past one year, we have worked tirelessly to make Kaduna South a model of progress, equity and effective governance. Together with our people, we restored hope through tangible actions of revitalizing healthcare with the rehabilitation of all 13 Primary Healthcare Centres, introducing a 70 percent medical bill subsidy, and enrolling 1,000 residents into the state health insurance scheme. We fought diseases, improved sanitation, distributed over 1,000 Mama Kits to expectant mothers, and brought free eye-care services to our communities. These steps have strengthened our families, safeguarded our neighborhoods, and proven that government can truly serve its people.

Our investment in education has been equally life-changing. From supplying over 500 sets of benches and renovating five public schools to sponsoring 400 students for JAMB and NECO exams, we are building a future where every child can learn in comfort and with confidence. We improved teacher-to-student ratios, deployed NYSC corp members to teach key subjects, and rewarded our education officers to enhance service delivery. In security, agriculture, and empowerment, we have advanced Governor Uba Sani's SUSTAIN Agenda by strengthening the Kaduna State Vigilance Service, distributing fertilizer to 2,600 farmers, launching cash empowerment programmes for 500 women and youth, and approving the construction of sports centres across our 13 wards to channel young energy into productivity.

As we celebrate one year of impact, I reaffirm my commitment to serve with humility, transparency, and purpose. Our administration remains aligned with the vision of His Excellency Senator Uba Sani, a vision anchored on inclusion, accountability, and sustainable development. The progress we have achieved in just 365 days is a testament to what we can do when leadership meets community support. Together we are building a Kaduna South that stands tall, proud, and prosperous, a home our children will always be proud to call their own.

At your service,

Hon. Rayyan Hussein

Executive Chairman
