Responding to the outstanding honour, various youth groups and stakeholders across Kaduna state, said it is well-deserved and described Uba Sani as "the pride of northern Nigeria."

"The distinguished Senator, who is also the chairman of banking, insurance and other financial Institutions has performed so well, even beyond his calling as a lawmaker by way of philanthropic gestures in remote rural communities of Kaduna state."
