Governor Uba Sani, in his manifesto, promised to "steadily increase the basket of funds available in the Kaduna State Women Empowerment Fund (KADSWEF) every year."

Promise: To promote women’s participation in the MSME businesses, we will steadily increase the basket of funds available in the Kaduna State Women Empowerment Fund (KADSWEF) every year

However, the 2023 budget allocated N200,827,500.00 under the label "Women and Youths Empowerment Programme (KADSWEF)," while the 2024 budget allocated N200,000,000.00 under the same label. This represents a decrease of N827,500.00 from the 2023 allocation, contrary to the Governor's promise.

This promise is rated as 'Broken.'
