Governor Uba Sani promises homes for all as Kaduna resolves 10‑year land dispute

Governor Uba Sani handed out land titles and farmlands to 704 households in Igabi, Kaduna State, vowing that no community will be left homeless after a decade‑long dispute with the military.

Governor [Uba Sani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uba_Sani) pledged on Sunday that no household in Kaduna State will be left without shelter after his administration distributed land titles to 704 families in Igabi local government area, ending a ten‑year dispute with the military.

**What was the scale of the allocation?**

The ceremony covered eight neighbourhoods – Unguwan Malam Auta, Unguwan Alhassan, Unguwan Lauya, Unguwan Aboki, Unguwan Danjuma, Unguwan Musa and Unguwan Yohana – affecting more than 5,000 residents, of whom over 2,000 had been displaced.

**Who oversaw the land distribution?**

The Governor instructed the Director General of the [Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS)](https://kadgis.gov.ng), Dr Bashir Ibrahim Garba, to allocate both residential plots and agricultural land to the affected communities.

**What additional support was promised?**

Beyond the free plots, each household received a parcel of farmland to sustain their livelihoods, as 90 % of the residents are farmers. The state also committed five trucks of free fertiliser and a special social‑intervention package coordinated by the Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, the Commissioner of Finance and the Commissioner of Planning and Budget.

**What did the Governor say about the community’s cohesion?**

He praised the residents for maintaining peace across religious and political lines, noting, “I have seen Muslims and Christians work together as one family, even when the incident occurred.”

**What did the KADGIS director report?**

Dr Garba highlighted that the current administration has resolved 5,285 inherited land cases and supported more than 2,000 displaced communities, emphasizing that the present dispute had lingered for a decade without resolution by previous governments.

The Governor concluded by assuring that the state will not abandon any community, adding that “our hearts bleed when we see the pain you have endured.”
