Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has instructed all political appointees to focus on improving the welfare of citizens at the grassroots, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to unity and mutual support. The directive was issued during a stakeholders’ meeting held on Sunday at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Dutse, according to a press statement signed by Zainab S. Rabo, Senior Special Assistant on Media Affairs to the Governor.
Governor Namadi emphasized that governance must be centered on the people, urging appointees to adopt a humane and responsive approach in addressing the needs of citizens at all levels. He described his administration’s guiding principle as one of collective support, encouraging officials to strengthen their connection with the public and ensure effective delivery of services.
The governor stressed that true leadership is demonstrated through service, compassion, and dedication to the well-being of the masses. His remarks come amid increasing complaints from members of the public regarding the perceived lack of support and assistance from some political office holders. Namadi noted that certain appointees have claimed they have nothing to offer despite the resources and opportunities available to them.
“Anybody who feels he earns nothing to use in supporting the public should resign,” the governor stated firmly.
The call for greater accountability and service delivery reflects a broader effort to align political leadership with the expectations of citizens, particularly at the grassroots level. The governor’s stance signals a push for a more responsive and people-oriented governance model in Jigawa State.
