Tom Garba, Gov Sani’s adviser meet, chart new course for Kaduna’s prosperity
In a powerful demonstration of grassroots synergy and unwavering commitment to progress, Mr. Tom Garba, the dynamic publisher of TGNews and a proud son of Lere Local Government Area in Kaduna State, has convened a pivotal meeting with Alhaji Isa Sani, Adviser on Domestic Affairs to Governor Senator Uba Sani.
The encounter, held amid rising calls for collaborative development, focused on bolstering the governor’s ambitious vision for a “total rebirth” of Kaduna State, addressing key challenges in infrastructure, security, and economic empowerment.
Garba, renowned for his investigative journalism and community advocacy through TGNews—a leading digital platform delivering breaking news and in-depth analysis—has long positioned himself as a catalyst for positive change in Kaduna.
Hailing from Garun Kurama in Lere LGA, a region celebrated for its cultural richness and resilience, Garba’s efforts transcend media; his foundation actively supports initiatives like the Taiye Foundation to alleviate hardships exacerbated by previous administrations’ shortcomings.
“We have been doing this from long ago, and we’ll continue as God gives us the strength,” Garba affirmed, vowing never to rest while his people endure difficulties.
His philanthropic drive mirrors the state-wide transformations under Governor Uba Sani, whose two years in office have yielded remarkable strides in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
During the extensive discussions, the duo delved into the “state of the state,” exploring avenues for Garba’s media and foundation resources to amplify Sani’s reforms.
Alhaji Isa Sani, a key figure in the governor’s inner circle, reassured citizens of Uba Sani’s steadfast resolve to elevate Kaduna, evident in achievements like upgrading primary healthcare centers, constructing over 600 classrooms, building 62 new secondary schools, and empowering thousands through micro-business grants and women’s programs.
“The governor’s willingness to transform Kaduna is visible and unwavering,” Isa Sani remarked, highlighting initiatives that have bridged ethno-religious divides and fostered peace.
Garba’s engagement underscores his broader quest to uplift Lere and Kaduna, aligning seamlessly with Uba Sani’s priorities in agriculture promotion, job creation, and security enhancements, including community policing with 7,000 vigilantes and distributed patrol vehicles.
As pressure mounts from Lere West constituents urging Garba to contest the Kaduna State House of Representatives in 2027, he remains steadfast: “Leadership is not about the office one occupies but the heart. I’ll continue serving with or without office.”
This stance echoes his mentor-like respect for elders, with Isa Sani positioned as a guiding “elder brother” whose wisdom Garba taps at every step.
Observers view the meeting as strategically poised to yield tangible results, potentially channeling Garba’s influence into amplifying state projects like rural road networks connecting farms to markets and sustainable development partnerships.
Addressing journalists, Garba emphasized, “This alliance will surely bear positive fruits for our people.” In Lere—a vibrant LGA with a population exceeding 550,000 and historical significance as home to the Lere Emirate—such collaborations signal hope for economic revival and cultural preservation.
Governor Uba Sani’s administration, praised by President Tinubu for restoring stability and progress, has indeed “changed the toxic environment to one of peace,” with projects like CNG buses and metro rail approvals boosting connectivity.
Garba’s involvement exemplifies how visionary individuals can partner with government to accelerate this momentum, ensuring no citizen is left behind. As Kaduna surges toward prosperity, figures like Tom Garba embody the spirit of service that defines true leadership.
