The Kaduna State Government has described the signing of three strategic laws by Governor Senator Uba Sani, CON, as a major milestone in the State’s drive to accelerate economic growth, strengthen institutions, and promote sustainable development.
According to the state’s Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the Government said the newly enacted Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026, Kaduna State Agricultural Development Fund (KADFund) Law, 2025, and Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026 provide a comprehensive framework for transforming the State’s energy, agriculture, and environmental sectors.
Speaking on the development, Deputy Chief of Staff, Legal and Legislative Matters to the Governor, Dr. Mustapha Musa, described the three laws as one of Kaduna State’s most transformative governance reform packages, aimed at expanding energy access, accelerating agricultural growth, strengthening climate resilience, and driving sustainable economic development through strong institutions.
The Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026, establishes the Kaduna State Electricity Regulatory Commission to oversee electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and supply within the State, while creating opportunities for private-sector investment, renewable energy development, and improved access to electricity.
The KADFund Law, 2025, creates a dedicated financing mechanism to support farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and agricultural value-chain actors through grants, soft loans, technical assistance, and investments in critical infrastructure aimed at boosting food security and agricultural productivity.
Similarly, the Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026, establishes a state-level framework for climate action, environmental sustainability, climate finance mobilisation, and the integration of climate considerations into development planning, reinforcing Kaduna’s commitment to sustainable development.
Maiyaki said the three laws collectively underscore the administration’s vision of building resilient institutions capable of driving inclusive growth, attracting investment, expanding opportunities, and delivering lasting benefits to citizens.
He noted that the landmark legislation reflects Governor Uba Sani’s commitment to laying the foundations for a prosperous, sustainable, and competitive Kaduna State through electricity sector reform, agricultural transformation, and climate-responsive governance.
According to him, the reforms establish the institutional framework needed to strengthen food security, improve living standards, and position Kaduna as a model for innovation, sustainable development, and effective subnational governance.
