My Asset Was $587 million and N85 billion in El-Rufai's Government – Governor Sani The governor said that he was still committed to guiding Kaduna toward development with the limited resources at his disposal.

According to Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, the immediate former government of Nasir El-Rufai left him with a massive debt load of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual commitments. He bemoaned the fact that the enormous debt had severely reduced the state's federal budget. Speaking at a town hall gathering on Saturday, the governor reported his stewardship and stated that he was still committed to guiding Kaduna toward improvement with the limited resources at his disposal.

Traditional leaders and religious authorities, legislators, organized labor members, representatives of civil society organizations, young people, and women's groups were present at the gathering. Former Kaduna State Governor Ramalan Yero, former Chief of Staff General Martin-Luther Agwai, members of the Kaduna State Executive Council, and members of the House of Assembly, led by Speaker Yusuf Liman, are also in attendance. Along with his deputy, Hadiza Balarabe, Governor Sani gave the audience an overview of the state's income structure and the debt his predecessor had left behind.

The governor also discussed his administration's top priorities, which include housing, healthcare, education, security, and assistance for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. Shizzer Bada, the commissioner of finance, gave a presentation on the state's share of the federal allocation and how much is taken out to pay down the massive debt incurred by the previous government.

Mukhtar Ahmed, his colleague in Budget and Planning, discussed the many contractual obligations arising from the fact that contractors hired by the previous administration terminated projects after receiving payment. Governor Sani promised the populace that he would maintain a close watch on guiding the state toward prosperity and sustainable development despite the enormous debt load he inherited and the numerous contractual obligations.
