According to him, the Kaduna State Electricity Law, 2026 establishes the Kaduna State Electricity Regulatory Commission, transmission, distribution and supply within the state.  The law is also expected to attract private-sector investment, encourage renewable energy development, and improve access to reliable electricity. 

The KADFund Law, 2025, creates a dedicated financing mechanism to support farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses and other actors across 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.

Similarly, the Kaduna State Climate Change Advisory Board Law, 2026, establishes a framework for climate action and environmental sustainability. It is expected to facilitate climate finance mobilisation and ensure the integration of climate considerations into development planning across the state.

Maiyaki said the three laws underscore the administration’s commitment to building resilient institutions capable of attracting investment, expanding opportunities, and delivering lasting benefits to the people of Kaduna State.

He added that the legislation reflects Governor Uba Sani’s vision of laying the foundation for a prosperous, sustainable and competitive state through electricity sector reform, agricultural transformation and climate-responsive governance.

According to the commissioner, the reforms will strengthen food security, improve living standards, and position Kaduna as a model for innovation, sustainable development, and effective subnational governance in Nigeria.
