President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected in Kaduna today on a one-day official visit where he will be commissioning multiple legacy projects executed by Governor Uba Sani’s administration.
The high-profile visit underscores the President’s recognition of the State Government’s strides in infrastructure, healthcare, skills development, and transport under the current leadership Governor Uba Sani.
Topping the President’s itinerary is the commissioning of three Technical and Vocational Skills Development Institutes located in Rigachikun, Soba and Samaru Kataf.
The centres are designed to transform Kaduna into a leading hub for vocational education and digital innovation in Nigeria, offering international certifications and market-ready skills to youth across the state.
In the healthcare sector, President Tinubu will also commission a newly completed 300-bed hospital, a flagship facility expected to enhance access to quality healthcare for thousands of residents and reduce pressure on existing public hospitals.
The facility is part of the state government’s commitment to revamp health infrastructure across all zones.
On road infrastructure, the President is billed to unveil several key transport projects, including the 24-kilometer Kafanchan Township Road, the Tudun Biri Road, and the 22-kilometer road linking Kauru and Kubau Local Government Areas.
The roads are expected to ease transportation, boost rural connectivity, and support local economies.
Another important stop on the itinerary is the Vocational and Skills Training Center in Tudun Biri, complementing the state’s broader effort to tackle unemployment through practical skills acquisition.
The center is designed to serve surrounding rural communities, with targeted programs in trades such as welding, carpentry, solar installation, and fashion design.

As part of Kaduna’s clean energy and mass transit agenda, President Tinubu will also unveil 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, which mark a significant leap in environmentally friendly transportation within the state. The buses are intended to reduce fuel costs, cut emissions, and enhance urban mobility in Kaduna’s growing cities.
Governor Uba Sani, who marked his second year in office, has described the President’s visit as a “validation of Kaduna’s development path” and thanked the Federal Government for its ongoing support.
He added that the projects reflect his administration’s commitment to inclusive development, youth empowerment, and economic transformation.
Security agencies have assured residents of adequate protection throughout the presidential visit, with preparations already in full gear across key locations.
Residents, traditional leaders, and community stakeholders are expected to line the streets in welcome, as Kaduna prepares to showcase two years of impactful governance.
