Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, has signed three landmark laws aimed at strengthening the state’s energy, agriculture, and climate governance sectors.
The State government described this development as a major step toward accelerating economic growth and sustainable development.
The newly enacted laws are the Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026, the Kaduna State Agricultural Development Fund (KADFund) Law, 2025, and the Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026.
This was made known in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Ahmed Maiyaki.
The state government said the legislations provide a comprehensive framework for institutional reforms, economic expansion, and environmental sustainability.
According to the statement, the Electricity Law establishes the Kaduna State Electricity Regulatory Commission, which will oversee electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and supply within the state.
The law is also expected to encourage private sector participation, promote renewable energy development, and improve access to electricity for residents.
The KADFund Law creates a dedicated financing mechanism designed to support farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and other stakeholders in the agricultural value chain.
The fund will provide grants, soft loans, technical assistance, and investments in critical infrastructure to enhance food security and agricultural productivity.
