The United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) World Congress has commended Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for what it describes as the state’s open government reforms. The acknowledgement is made in Tangiers, Morocco, after Sani addresses a high-level session titled “Human Capital and Democratic Transformation: What Future For The Global South?” The sources say the UCLG focuses on the governor’s commitment to transparency, citizen participation and democratic governance. In both accounts, the commendation is presented as part of the international congress activity occurring alongside Sani’s participation in the event. One source adds that the governor’s remarks are relayed through a state planning commissioner, indicating government representation at the congress. Overall, the reporting centers on the UCLG’s public praise of Kaduna’s reform efforts and links it directly to Sani’s speech at the global forum in Morocco. Neither source provides detailed information on specific policy measures, timelines, or independently verified outcomes of the reforms.
