Following reports of an alleged encroachment on the premises of Government Secondary School, Rigachikun, located along the Kaduna–Zaria Expressway, Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani directed KADGIS to investigate the allegations and give the school a title as a G-item.
This prompted the Director-General accompanied by his management team to visit the school on the 3rd of June 2026 and held a meeting with the school management, representatives of the Parent-Teachers Association (PTA),and community stakeholders. The Director-General informed the stakeholders that the visit was in line with the directive of His Excellency, Senator Uba following the complaint received regarding the alleged encroachment.
The Director-General explained that preliminary findings revealed that the school does not possess a statutory title and that the only portion of land previously excised from the school was allocated to the Federal Ministry of Housing, where a housing estate was subsequently developed.
At the end of the meeting, the Director-General led the stakeholders on a joint inspection of the school premises where the boundaries of the school were identified by the stakeholders, after which KADGIS established and monumented boundary beacons around the school perimeter.
This was done to clearly demarcate and secure the school land against any future encroachment, in compliance with the directive of the Governor.
The Director-General further reiterated KADGIS’ commitment to processing a statutory title in favour of the Kaduna State Ministry of Education, with copies to be domiciled with the school management. He noted that this initiative forms part of the Kaduna State Government’s broader effort to reclaim, secure, and protect Public Educational Institutions from encroachment further emphasizing that all public schools in the state would be surveyed, demarcated, and issued titles as Government Item (G-ITEM) properties.
The school management, PTA representatives, and community stakeholders expressed profound appreciation for the Director-General’s intervention and generosity. They commended KADGIS for its prompt response and pledged their support towards safeguarding the school property.
The stakeholders also conveyed their gratitude to His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, for his visionary policy of demarcating and issuing titles to public schools across Kaduna State, describing the initiative as a significant step towards protecting Educational infrastructure and promoting sustainable development.
As a result of the meeting the School Management was presented with a copy of the offer for the school as a G-item at the KADGIS office on the 4th of June 2026.
