The Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU), Kaduna State Council, has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani for re-election in 2027, citing their interventions in workers’ welfare, pension payments, education, transportation and economic development.
The union also passed a vote of confidence in Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, as well as Governor Uba Sani, during an international press conference held in Kaduna on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Speaking at the event, NCSU Kaduna State Chairman, Comrade Ayuka Shemang, said the union recognised the federal government’s approval of the N72,000 national minimum wage, economic reforms and establishment of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
Shemang said the federal government’s investments in road infrastructure, compressed natural gas transportation, agriculture, youth empowerment, skills acquisition and job creation were important contributions to national development.
The union commended Governor Uba Sani’s administration for regular payment of workers’ salaries, improved labour relations and approval of N4.289 billion for pensions and gratuities in April 2026, bringing reported cumulative pension-related payments to approximately N17.796 billion.
It also praised the Kaduna State Government’s free transportation programme for workers, students, pensioners and residents, as well as the reduction of tuition fees in state-owned tertiary institutions.
The NCSU further acknowledged the administration’s community-based security initiatives, free fertiliser distribution to farmers, youth and women empowerment programmes, and Operation Tsapta sanitation initiative.
The union also described the nomination of Comrade Jerry Adams as Governor Uba Sani’s running mate for the 2027 Kaduna governorship election as a reflection of the administration’s commitment to inclusion and equitable representation.
Consequently, the union resolved to endorse Tinubu and Shettima for the 2027 presidential election, while backing Uba Sani and Jerry Adams for the Kaduna State governorship election. It also commended Gaskiya Network for ASUJ 2027, led by Dr. Philibus Audu Nwamagyi, for sponsoring and coordinating the press conference.
Despite the endorsements, the union called for further improvements in workers’ purchasing power, security, public services and the settlement of outstanding labour entitlements, reaffirming its commitment to workers’ welfare, good governance and sustainable development.
