Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has enacted three pivotal laws designed to overhaul the state’s energy, agricultural, and environmental frameworks. The new legislation aims to foster sustainable growth and attract investment across these critical sectors, according to officials.
The Kaduna State Electricity Law of 2026 establishes a regulatory commission to manage electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and supply within the state. This move is expected to open doors for private investment in renewable energy and improve electricity access for residents and businesses.
Under the Kaduna State Agricultural Development Fund (KADFund) Law of 2025, a dedicated financing mechanism will provide farmers, cooperatives, and agribusinesses with grants, low-interest loans, technical assistance, and funding for infrastructure. The goal is to enhance food security and boost agricultural productivity.
The Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law of 2026 creates a state-level body to coordinate climate action, promote environmental sustainability, and integrate climate considerations into development plans. This legislation underscores the state’s commitment to tackling climate change and building resilience.
Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, highlighted that these laws represent the administration’s vision of establishing strong institutions that drive inclusive growth and sustainable development. Dr. Mustapha Musa, Deputy Chief of Staff for Legal and Legislative Matters to the Governor, described the laws as transformative governance reforms that will expand energy access, accelerate agricultural growth, strengthen climate resilience, and position Kaduna as a model for innovation and effective subnational governance.
