Governor Uba Sani Restores Hope as Kaduna Government Allocates Plots to Victims of Past Demolitions, Promises Justice and Fair Compensation
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has taken a major step towards addressing long-standing grievances by compensating victims of demolitions carried out during the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai. The compensation comes in the form of newly allocated plots of land to affected residents across different parts of the state.
The decision is part of the current administration’s effort to correct past injustices and provide relief to individuals and families who lost their properties during the urban renewal and demolition exercises. Many of the victims were left without adequate compensation at the time, sparking widespread criticism and public concern.
Governor Sani, known for his people-centered governance approach, emphasized that his administration is committed to fairness, accountability, and the protection of citizens’ rights. He noted that development must not come at the expense of the people, adding that government policies should prioritize human welfare and dignity.
The allocation of new plots is aimed at restoring the dignity and livelihoods of the affected residents, while also helping them rebuild their lives after years of displacement. The initiative has been widely described as a welcome development and a step in the right direction.
Residents who benefited from the compensation expressed gratitude to the governor, describing the gesture as a long-awaited intervention that brings hope and a sense of justice.
The Kaduna State Government has also indicated that it will continue to review similar cases and ensure that victims of past policies are adequately compensated, signaling a shift towards more inclusive and equitable governance in the state.
