Jigawa State government has urged the people to embrace the Citizens Engagement Forum and voice their views on its programmes to fast track sustainable social and economic development.
Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Mr Sagir Musa said this during an engagement exercise Monday in Guri, headquarters of Guri Local Government Area.
Governor Umar Namadi’s administration had initiated the forum to encourage inclusive governance and ensure successful implementation of its programmes.
The exercise, billed to be held across the 27 local government areas, would end in October.
Musa advised residents to avail themselves of the opportunities of the engagement exercise to voice out their concerns on government’s policies and programmes.
He said the forum was designed to bring government closer to the people and provide a platform for feedback.
The commissioner said the initiative also availed government the opportunity to carry people along to ensure successful implementation of its policies and programmes.
Also, Senator Abdulhamid Malam Madori (APC – Jigawa South-East), commended Namadi over the execution of viable infrastructure and people oriented projects.
He noted that Namadi’s outstanding performance deserves re-election for a second term.
The senator urged politicians to rally behind the governor and support his re-election bid rather than contesting against him.
“The present governor is doing well in his first tenure so no need for anyone to think of challenging him in the 2027 election,
“Governor Namadi deserves to serve his second term come 2027 because of his outstanding performances,” Malam Madori said.
The senator promised to ensure effective representation to provide the dividends of democracy to his constituents. (NAN)
