Gov Namadi suspends commissioner amid allegations of misconduct

By Uzair Adam

Jigawa State Governor Malam Umar A. Namadi has ordered the immediate suspension of Auwalu Danladi Sankara, Commissioner for Special Duties, following serious allegations raised by the Kano State Hisbah Board.

The suspension, announced in a statement signed by Malam Bala Ibrahim, Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, is intended to allow a thorough investigation into the matter.

Sankara is accused of engaging in an illicit relationship with a married woman, among other offenses.

The Kano Hisbah Board confirmed the arrest of Sankara on Friday after tracking his activities.

According to the board’s Director General, Dr. Abba Sufi, Sankara was caught in an uncompleted building with a married woman, following complaints from her husband’s younger brother.

“We have arrested Auwalu Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa Commissioner, with a married woman in an uncompleted building,” Dr. Sufi told reporters, adding that the arrest was part of a broader investigation into Sankara’s alleged immoral behavior.

The woman’s husband, Nasiru Bulama, had filed a formal complaint with the Kano Police, Department of State Services, and Hisbah Board, accusing the commissioner of having an affair with his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, the mother of his two children.

In addition to the adultery accusations, Sankara is reportedly facing charges for allegedly operating illicit drug centers under names like Picklock and 360.

The Jigawa State Government emphasized that the suspension is a precautionary step to ensure transparency and integrity in the state’s administration, with Governor Namadi committed to upholding accountability in governance.

“The suspension is a precautionary measure intended to facilitate a fair investigation,” said Bala Ibrahim, underscoring the government’s dedication to ethical standards and its responsibility to the people of Jigawa.

Jigawa: Gov Namadi suspends adviser over premature minimum wage announcement

By Uzair Adam 

Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has suspended his Special Adviser on Salary and Pensions, Alhaji Bashir Ado, following a premature announcement regarding a proposed N70,000 minimum wage.

The suspension was confirmed in a statement issued by Bala Ibrahim, the Secretary to the State Government, in Dutse on Saturday. 

The statement revealed that a circulating media report claiming the governor had approved the new minimum wage was both inaccurate and premature.

“This is an embarrassing situation, as the committee tasked with advising on the appropriate wage, led by the Head of the State Civil Service, has yet to finalize its report,” Ibrahim explained.

Due to the incident, the governor has approved Ado’s immediate suspension pending the outcome of an investigation. 

A committee, chaired by the State Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Bello Abdulkadir, has been set up to probe the source and intent behind the statement.

The committee, which includes Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture Sagir Musa, Commissioner for Health Dr Abdullahi Muhammad, and Muhammad Hahaha, Permanent Secretary of Establishment and Service Matters, is expected to submit its report within two weeks.

InvestJigawa and matters arising

By Saifullahi Attahir Wurno

” …. In the next 25 years, Jigawa state should be the preferred investment destination in Nigeria”.  – Sule Lamido

On June 4, 2024, the Jigawa State Investment Agency, with the collaboration of other key economic sectors, convened a summit to raise awareness on how to facilitate easy access to small credits and attract foreign investment.

Many dignitaries across the state gracefully attended the summit, including various agencies concerned with investment in the state and the private sectors involved in providing job opportunities for our army of unemployed youths.

Summits like these were crucial to highlight key areas that urgently need investment in Jigawa state. These investments would serve as catalysts for job creation, improve economic indices, and attract more internally generated revenue (IGR) for the state.

I was delighted by a speech by Mal Audu Ahmadu from CBN, who highlighted the role played by commercial banks in hindering small enterprises’ access to loans because of their high interest rates, which amount to over 30 per cent instead of the more tolerable 25 per cent or less.

Commercial banks created other bureaucratic formalities that prevented local investors from getting easy loans. They required collateral assets to be presented, sometimes demanding that they be in the nation’s capital, Abuja, or other unreachable locations.

Although many banks were invited, the commercial bank Zenith Limited required special mention not only for being the only bank honouring the invitation but also for analysing its activities over the years in Jigawa state aimed at improving the standard of living of ordinary people in the state. The bank formulated a specially designed program called Z-Women to give medium-term credit to women interested in domestic marketing.

Other key dignitaries in the summit who were among the frontiers as local investors include Dr Sambo of Sambo Hospital Limited, Dr Yamuna Kani of Albarka Hospital Limited, Mallam Umar Babayaro of Limawa Table Waters, and Mallam Hassan Hashim from Hasina Confectionery Limited.

Another key guest was Mallam Aminu Bizi, CEO of the renowned Bizi Mobile Cashless Consultancy Limited. He was instrumental in providing millions of jobs in the technology sector across many States in Northern Nigeria through mobilisation, marketing, and public awareness of POS services during the early CBN introduction of the cashless policy.

Aminu Bizi other ventures include; Bizipay Fintech Account, NASIA health insurance, Jigawa JICHMA health insurance, and Jigawa Palliative shops. All these were his endeavours to provide jobs for unemployed youths in the state through partnerships with the state government.

Jigawa state was in dire need of investment, and the unfortunate low profile caused the poor turnout of foreign investors. However, with the appointment of the current Director General of the Agency, Hajiya Fureira Jumare, many positive strides were made to attract potential investors to the state.

For the benefit of outsiders, Jigawa state is one of the most peaceful states in the country, with political stability that would protect capital venture investments. The state has a population of over 6.5 million people, which is a readily available market for any investment and cheap labour for manufacturing.

In 2018, the World Bank ranked Jigawa state second among states with ease of doing business. The state has a rainfed land of over 1.9 million hectares, of which 400,000 is Fadama readily for rice farming. The state is mainly Agrarian, with vast land that fruitfully yields Sesame, grains, Hibiscus, tomatoes, and Onions. Jigawa is blessed with about four major markets that have an extensive network linking the state to others and international markets like Niger and Cameroon. The market include; Sara, Gujungu, Maigatari, and Hadejia.

Jigawa state has over 22,000 square kilometres of land, over 3000 km of road network, and a state-of-the-art International Airport. The current and previous administrations have led the way in bolstering the state’s economic indices and attracting foreign investors.

InvestJigawa was founded in 2013 after the first economic investment summit under Governor Sule Lamido (the father of modern Jigawa). Seven years later, with the appointment of the current DG, she strives to create a commendable five-year strategic plan (2021-2026) for the InvestJigawa journey. 

The roadmap would constitute a public-private partnership (PPP) and comprehensive development framework (CDF) to revive key employment avenues like MSMEs, tourism, solid minerals mining, renewable solar energies, and the already established Agriculture.

Jigawa state aims to attract at least 1 billion USD and create 2500 jobs by the end of 2030. This is thanks to other investments made during previous administrations, such as the Kila Cassava processing plant, Hadejia rice mills, Gagarawa Sugarcane plants, Gagarawa Industrial Park, and Dutse Ceramic Processing Company.

Malam Danmodi palliative superstores: A benevolence for the Jigawa masses

By Muhammad Attahiru

Jigawa State has always been tagged the luckiest state in Northern Nigeria in terms of getting leaders who have the state in their hearts. This statement was not further from the truth. Since the inception of this Administration led by the astute driver, Jigawa state has been once again over the radar, and the spirit of its citizens has been bashed again. 

This week, the APC administration, led by His Excellency Mallam Umar Namadi, clocks one year in office. Indeed, it was more than a proud moment not only for the APC electorate but for the entire state’s citizens, having someone who serves as the consolidator of projects abandoned two decades to date, also a unifier and visionary leader who despite the slander of all the doom prophets, they were put to shame. As a   Governor, Mal.  Namadi became the tangible symbol of the united Jigawa. 

Those conversant with state politics would realise my statement: Against all odds, the Unifier has maintained his stance on his promises before the election. His viable and economically sustained state projects were disbursed across all parts of the state with every sense of justice and fairness. 

The massive appointment of his political aides, including commissioners, Permanent Secretaries, Special Advisors, board members, and heads of various Agencies, was all evidence of his commitment to fairness without compromising his known attribute of prioritising merit over political connection.

Over the last twelve months, the administration of Mal.  Umar Namadi has recorded an uncountable number of visible and impacting projects across every sector that directly or indirectly positively affect the common man of Jigawa state.

Food security and social welfare were one area the administration of Malam Namadi took with a serious note. The constant alarm was raised by the United Nations bodies like the World Bank and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) about the impending danger of food insecurity facing our countries, especially those bordering the Sahara, due to multifaceted factors of Insecurity and climate change.

Jigawa State Government initiated the food distribution Palliative, especially during the Ramadan fasting. The success story of the Ramadan feeding program was indeed commendable, considering the hardships the poor populace would have passed through during the Holy month. The subsidy was also injected into Fertilizer to boost the agricultural output of the state’s majority farmers.

The most ambitious project of all was the coveted Danmodi Super Store Palliative Project. Around N1.5 billion was injected into it to procure all forms of food and household items that would be sold by special stores across all wards and local government headquarters in the state. The items would be sold at very cheap and subsidised prices.

 The project is a public-private partnership with the reputable FinTech Company Bizi Mobile. Specially designed ATM cards would be distributed to people, and transactions for items would be made through the ATM card number. This would ensure direct remittances of payment proceeds to the state treasury and ensure no diversion or overbuying above a certain limit, allowing each individual to buy his foodstuffs without fear of hijacking by people with access or those with more money.

The Superstore project would soon be commissioned, and the CEO of the Company, Mal. Aminu Bizi, has already made the necessary preparations for the technology, tools, logistics, and personnel for the smooth implementation of the project. This would greatly help the poor citizens of the state access cheaper food items in the markets. On the other hand, the project would allow the Government to have more Data on its citizens to aid in implementing other economic, security and social programs.

If implemented, this project would again prove this Administration’s sincerity and socialist-style approach to Hayakawa emancipation. Jigawa state would be the only state in Nigeria with this very welcome system. This form of superstore has already been practised in many countries, such as Venezuela, Brazil, and China. It is a simple and effective way of ensuring citizens have access to cheaper and affordable food. It’s also a method that directly links the Government to the masses. 

This project would reduce the burden and hardship caused by the removal of the petrol subsidy. Indeed, it’s money well spent.

We wish the Jigawa state Government under Malam Namadi a successful tenure and more ideas that would help impact the Jigawa state’s common man.

Long live Mal. Umar Namadi.

Long live Jigawa state.

Long live Nigeria.

An open letter to Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi

By Garba Sidi.

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. 

I am writing to bring to your attention the commendable efforts of Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala (T.O.) during his tenure as the Chairman of Hadejia Local Government. As a concerned citizen of Hadejia and someone who deeply cares about our town’s progress, I wish to express my support for Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala’s candidacy for a second term.

Throughout the years, it has been observed that, apart from Bello Auyo, no other leader has contributed as significantly to the development of Hadejia as Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala. His dedication to improving our town is evident in the transformative projects initiated under his leadership.

The essence of democracy lies in representing the people’s will, and Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala (T.O) has proven himself to be a leader who genuinely understands and serves the people’s needs. “Government is the people, for the people, by the people,” and this principle resonates with the Hadejia community, which admires his leadership.

Furthermore, I would like to highlight Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala’s unwavering commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He wholeheartedly supported the party, actively participating in the campaign for His Excellency Mallam Umar Namadi, contributing significantly to the success of the 2023 elections.

Despite facing unjust attempts to tarnish his image, Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala perseveres to bring beneficial projects to Hadejia. Recognising that certain political rivals may be trying to sow discord between his administration and your esteemed government is crucial. I sincerely hope you see through these divisive tactics and acknowledge the positive impact he has had on our community.

The people of Hadejia are well-informed and discerning, and they can distinguish between genuine efforts for development and misleading narratives meant to undermine a dedicated leader. Denying Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala the opportunity to run for a second term could be perceived as a hindrance to the progress and development of our town.

I trust that this message will reach you, and I urge you to consider the positive contributions of Honourable Abdulladir Umar Bala (T.O.) to Hadejia. Allowing him to run for a second term would be a decision in favour of continued growth and prosperity for our beloved town.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Diptheria hits Jigawa, kills 10

By Ahmad Deedat Zakari 

The Jigawa State Government has confirmed the deaths of ten people due to an outbreak of diphtheria in the state, as there are currently about 100 suspected cases of the disease.  

The Jigawa State Ministry of Health disclosed on Saturday that ten people have died following an outbreak of diphtheria across the 14 local government areas of the state.  

The Permanent Secretary of the Jigawa State Ministry of Health, Dr Salisu Mu’azu, disclosed this while fielding questions from reporters in Dutse.

He said that two cases have been confirmed in Kazaure and Jahun local government areas, while some samples have been taken to Abuja for confirmation. 

He said the outbreak occurred in areas with zero-dose routine immunisation against the epidemic. 

Dr Ma’azu also said the ministry had already investigated, collected necessary information and data in the affected areas, and updated the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHDA) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for further action. 

He said the state government is making arrangements to administer vaccines once available. 

Dr. Muazu attributed the outbreak to healthcare service disruptions some years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic, when everything was suspended; hence, routine immunisation has become a major challenge in the state.

Namadi emulates Abba Gida-gida, covers tuition fees for undergraduates hailing from Jigawa

By Muhammadu Sabiu 

Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has given the green light to cover the registration fees for undergraduate students hailing from the state. 

These include students who are pursuing various courses at prestigious institutions such as Federal University, Dutse (FUD), Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Kano State University of Technology (KUST), and the University of Maiduguri. 

With a substantial amount of One Hundred and Sixty-Seven Million Twenty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Naira (N167,024,950.00) allocated for this purpose, the decision reflects the current administration’s commitment to alleviating the financial strain on families with limited income. 

As university registration fees continue to rise, this initiative aims to ensure that education remains accessible and inclusive. 

The Jigawa State Council has gone a step further by approving a revision of the bursary scholarship for local Jigawa State students. 

Effective immediately, the bursary payment will now be disbursed at the onset of each academic session. 

Recall that Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, recently made a similar gesture in the face of the current economic quagmire by allocating over N700 million to cover the tuition costs of students hailing from Kano and studying at Bayero University Kano.

Badaru: APC’s silent achiever

By Ghali Tade

The Former Governor of Jigawa state, Mallam Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, is a distinguished politician in Nigeria’s political space. He is an accountant who applies the knowledge and training of his field of study to politics, which earned him respect that could not be bought. Mallam Badaru, Mai Nasara, as he was addressed by our fathers or Baba Mai Calculator as he is called in Jigawa state, is a personality who understands the need to be God-fearing, honest, transparent, accountable, focused, determined, dedicated, and committed.

How he managed to be what he is today may be surprising to those who do not know him, but we see it as a reflection of the Hausa sayings, “Kyan ɗa ya gaji mahaifinsa & barewa ba ta gudu ɗanta ya yi rarrafe“. I loosely mean he inherited most if not all of his qualities from his parent, a renowned Islamic scholar in his time. These backgrounds have made him see himself as a public servant, not a ruler. A governor who led Jigawa state to a new world with a heart full of passion, compassion, and patriotism.

When I learned that Mai Calculator was leaving office as our governor this year, I worried about who would be like or better than him. Luckily enough, Baba Badaru has handed over power to another copy of Badaru with a workaholic Deputy Governor, Engineer Aminu Usman Gumel.

The present governor of Jigawa state, Mallam Umar Namadi, who served as finance commissioner and deputy governor to Baba Badaru’s administration, is an engine that played a vital role in ensuring that their campaign promises were fulfilled and Badaru succeeded in all sectors. Both Mallam Badaru and Mallam Namadi shared certain things in common. Apart from being the sons of renowned Islamic scholars in the state, they are chartered accountants who performed excellently. They are problem solvers and people concerned about the populace and the best way to sustain the reputation of their families.

Mallam Namadi’s loyalty and zeal to stand firm on justice, fairness, and truthfulness earned him respect and made him the choice of Mallam Badaru and the good people of Jigawa state. The bond between the two state leaders is unbreakable, considering the cement of truth used in building it. I think this is why Mai Calculator’s men are in the new administration serving as commissioners and other roles.

The political twin brothers achieved more than expected of them when they were governor and deputy of Jigawa state. I could vividly recall that in the speech he delivered at a farewell reception in his honour held at Banquet Hall Government House Dutse on Sunday, the 28 May 2023, His Excellency, the Former Governor, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar listed numerous achievements of theirs in different sectors.

Despite inheriting Jigawa State with contractual liabilities of 114 billion naira and all the economic hardships while in power, Mai Calculator left the state with only 711 million naira in debt to pay. Unlike other governors who abandoned the projects of their predecessors, Baba Badaru distinguished himself by completing all inherited projects and focusing on transparency and accountability programmes to ensure the safety of investments.

Recall that ICAN had awarded Jigawa State as the best in Nigeria in Public resources accountability in 2021 and 2022 and the same in Budget transparency. In health, 18 more general hospitals were built to address the needs of the citizens in healthcare services. When he came on board, there were only 12, but he amplified them to 30. Also, three specialist hospitals and one orthopaedic hospital were established. Still on health, the people’s governor provided one comprehensive Health centre in every electoral ward of the state.

The number of hospitals on 24 hrs services increased, addressing the infant mortality rate.

In infrastructure, all the ongoing 700 kilometres of rural roads inherited were completed. Five thousand two hundred seventy-eight hand pumps have been repaired in water resources, 7792 solar water schemes were constructed, and 3500 PHC latrines were built, making Jigawa  State open defecation free. These efforts earned Jigawa number four in safe drinking water in Nigeria and number one in the entire Northern region.

On the other hand, Baba Mai Calculator’s administration witnessed massive federal government projects in the state. Beginning with the power sector, first time in 20 years, the Gagarawa power station project was completed and commissioned under the administration of Former President Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari also awarded four substations in Gwaram, Kazaure, Babura, and Birnin Kudu.

It could be recalled that 164,000 families enjoyed #5,000 monthly stipends from the federal government. This is in addition to feeding a million pupils, which created jobs for 9,200 vendors. My state benefited from Trader Monie, GEEP, Npower, Anchor Borrowers, and other human capital development projects.

On FG’s road projects, the Dutse to Kano, Kano – Danbatta – Kazaure – Gwiwa – Daura – Katsina to Niger Republic roads are practical and visible development. Another road that I will never forget is Kwanar Dimawa- Kanya Babba- Ɓaɓura-Baban mutum road.

I vividly remember Former President Muhammadu Buhari was in Jigawa in 2018 to flag off Hadejia Valley Irrigation Scheme. Joyfully, he returned to the state to commission the same project after completing its rehabilitation and expansion. The project, an irrigational land of 5,700 hectares, currently provides jobs, food, and economic diversification.

Let me openly state that these are just a few blessings Jigawa state got from Baba Mai Calculator and Baba Buhari’s administrations.

What are Badaru’s contributions to APC and the emergence of President Tinubu?

Alhaji Muhammad Badaru Abubakar was the first governor to win from an opposition despite the PDP having control of Jigawa and Nigeria in 2015. His emergence as Jigawa’s governor laid a solid foundation for APC, attracting thousands of loyalists of other parties to APC.

As an APC Leader in governors’ primaries and general elections in some states like  Ondo, Ekiti, Imo, and Bayelsa, Baba Badaru performed wonderfully well. This has made APC stronger in these states; many votes were pulled from them in the last three elections.

Under his watch as Northern Nigeria’s coordinator for Tinubu’s campaign organisation, higher votes were got from his zone -North West with over two million and six hundred thousand in presidential elections. The dedication and determination of Mai Calculator and other APC stalwarts gave President Tinubu more votes from the north-west than the south-west.

Baba Badaru has dedicated his time, energy, and resources to fighting all the propaganda by negative minds on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. As someone who comes from the same discipline as the President, Badaru is well-informed about the leadership qualities of Jagaban. These qualities were unknown by some people in the North. Hence enemies tried to paint him black but to no avail.

There was a time when the Former Jigawa State Governor, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, refuted insinuations that the APC Presidential candidate, Ahmad Bola Tinubu, would be a Southern President if he won the election. He assured the presidential candidate’s antecedents indicate he is not a betrayer.

Abubakar, who spoke in Kano during an APC Presidential Candidate meeting with the Muslim Ullamas from Northwestern Nigeria, said all Bola antecedents vindicate him as a non-ethnic and religious bigot”. He even added that everything Bola Tinubu has done in his presidential aspiration, he has done it with the full participation of Badaru, Ganduje, and Nuhu Ribadu, people who are known for their nationalistic outlook.

He stressed that every stakeholder in the Nigerian project chose Bola Tinubu. Talking about his mental health and his fitness, our recent visits to Mecca on Ummara, where Tinubu walked miles without joining a car and his performance of Rituals of Tawaf and Saai shows that he is not only healthy but mentally alert on issues”, Mai Calculator explained.

In summary, Mallam Muhammad Badaru Abubakar is a blessing to Jigawa state, APC, and Nigeria at large. Jigawa is lucky to have an accountant as a President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, an accountant as a Governor, and an accountant hoping to be a minister representing the state at the Federal Executive Council. 

Badaru is indeed an APC’s Silent Achiever!
