Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna State, has revealed that since taking office two years ago, he has not received a single loan from any local or international financial institution.
As part of his celebration of his two years in office, the Governor made this known by answering questions on a Hausa interview with some Kaduna radio stations.
Sani claimed that he had been approached by several banks to collect loans under various guises, but he had declined because he didn’t want to add more money to the state.
In order to run a successful administration, the governor disclosed that he had cut some benefits and allowances for his secretary to the state government and commissioners.
