The Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, recently hosted a delegation from Garo town in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano North Senatorial District.
The delegation, led by Malam Junaidu Abdullahi and operating under the Garo One Voice Association (GAOVA), presented a list of demands aimed at community development.
Stakeholders from various sectors, including clerics, traders, farmers, teachers, women, and youth, called for the establishment of an ICT centre, a recreational facility, and the rehabilitation of schools and road networks in Garo town.
In response, Senator Barau assured the delegation that efforts were underway to establish an ICT centre and a mini-stadium in the town. He further revealed plans to engage the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic Kabo regarding the possibility of setting up a campus in Garo.
“I appreciate your foresight in requesting these projects for Garo town. Insha Allah, I will work towards these goals,” Senator Barau said.
In a separate development, Senator Barau met with a group of councilorship aspirants from Gwarzo Local Government Area who recently defected from the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Led by Jamilu Isyaku Getso, the former NNPP aspirants expressed dissatisfaction with their experience in the party and announced their decision to join the APC.
Senator Barau welcomed the new APC members, urging them to approach politics with responsibility and prioritize societal development.
“Youths play a vital role in society’s development. It is important to mentor and empower them to become good leaders,” Senator Barau stated.
Both events highlight Senator Barau’s ongoing engagement with his constituents and his efforts to bolster political support ahead of upcoming activities.
