HOW JARIMEE INTENDS TO BREAK THE PAST RECORDS OF KADUNA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Many reasons have been proffered as to why there is executive non performance in the local government system in Nigeria.
While some have blamed low funding believed to be caused by the non autonomy of the LGA system which they claim reduces the powers of the Chairman and his officers to whims of the state Chief executive, some others have blamed the ravaging recession as well as other sundry reasons as why life at the local government level is very low.

It has even become a cliché that subventions and allocations to the LGAs are only for payment of salaries only..

However, rather than join the bandwagon of executive complainants who defend their abject non performance in the Local Government system in Nigeria, Honorable Yakubu Kabeer Jarimee Executive Chairman Kaduna South Local Government, one of the 23 in Kaduna State is singing a new and different song and changing the paradigm.
Jarimee seems to be in a great race to deliver his own dividends of democracy to his constituents than giving excuses and anything else thereby breaking a record in Nigeria’s history.

In just about less than 100days after his swearing in ceremony, he has concentrated in the education, health and security sector within the local government, this is indeed an achievement before he marks his first 100 days in office.

 he spoke on what drives him and why he is in a haste to deliver.
You seem to be in a great haste since your swearing in ceremony? You are hardly in the office except for meetings…

Yes, I agree. I am in a haste to deliver on my manifesto. I had told the electorate during my campaign that I would do this and that. It was a promise clearly stated and circulated. I know that a promise is a debt which I must pay. I also believe that I must begin to fulfill my promise as soon as possible without delay because time is of great essence. I am not one to give excuses for not keeping promises. So you are correct if you say I am in haste. I must visit the health centers, the schools and the roads daily for personal supervision. I have been running a very tight schedule these days.

But they say LGA allocations are only for salaries…?

That is what they say but I disagree. My experience as an individual who pray for a better council makes me have the zeal to deliver, His Excellency The executive Governor Mal Nasiru Ahmad Elrufai opened my eyes about what leadership at the local government level is all about so I came very prepared and experienced on how to deliver on my manifesto.

Hon Jarimee see governance as a God given opportunity to serve the people and no time should be wasted while doing the job. The masses have been enduring for long so he feels wasting time on the saddle is uncalled for Prudent and strategic management of the so called low funding is the crux of the matter. Hon jarimee  is very prudent in allocating the resources.

Again his determination  to get things done no matter all the odds is another factor. Where there is a will there must be a way

It was strategic thinking. Population of residents keeps increasing that he  reasoned that better  schools and health centers are necessary so that pupils and the community will have the best.

Jarimee have also done some palliative activities on the security to make a nonviolent society

Hon Jarimee is a leader that is leading but not to be lead, a leader per Excellenc, let us wish him well

Tajuddeen Abbas’ Name into Unrelated Matter  The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the apex and most respected students' body in Nigeria, has observed with deep concern the ongoing controversy surrounding the arrest and prosecution of some individuals over alleged defamatory social media posts related to business and land transactions.

AREWA YOUTH FOR LIBERTY (AYFL) Condemns DAPPMAN’s Actions, Declares Full Support for Dangote Refinery

The Arewa Youth for Liberty (AYFL) strongly condemns the recent actions of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) against the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Company. We view this as an act of sabotage and outright hostility toward the Nigerian people, who stand to benefit greatly from the refinery’s efforts to reduce fuel prices and provide massive employment opportunities. Dangote Refinery has invested heavily in the growth and development of Nigeria’s oil sector, including spending over ₦3 trillion to acquire trucks that will ensure nationwide distribution of petroleum products at reduced costs. Rather than commend and collaborate with Dangote Refinery in its efforts to ease the hardship caused by rising fuel prices, DAPPMAN and its allies, including NUPENG, appear determined to frustrate these positive strides. If such hostile actions by DAPPMAN continue, AYFL will have no option but to resist and confront any individual, group, or...
