Kwara Hausa community expresses satisfaction with Senator Saliu Mustapha’s performance
The Hausa community in Kwara State has expressed satisfaction with the performance of Senator Saliu Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
The Chairman of the Hausa community in the state, Mallam Abdullahi Chindo, made this known on Saturday during an agricultural empowerment programme facilitated by the senator in Ilorin, the state capital.
Mr Chindo, who spoke on behalf of Hausa-speaking residents across the 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State, commended the senator’s developmental strides and fulfilment of campaign promises.
He specifically lauded Senator Mustapha’s recent donation of new tractors to Hausa farmers across the four local government areas in Kwara Central—Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, and Asa—describing it as a “rare gesture.”
“On behalf of all Hausa-speaking residents of Kwara Central and our traditional leader, the Sarki Hausawa, we express our deepest gratitude. We do not regret supporting Senator Mustapha in 2023, and we would be glad to repeat the same support whenever required,” Mr Chindo said.
Since assuming office in 2023, Mr Mustapha, who chairs the Senate Committee on Agriculture Production Services and Rural Development, has attracted multi-billion-naira agricultural and rural development projects to his district.
His efforts have been credited with boosting food production, empowering rural farmers, and improving livelihoods across the senatorial zone.
Recently, the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, described Mr Mustapha as one of the most outstanding first time senators in the 10th National Assembly.
“In terms of legislative input and project facilitation, he has outperformed many of his senior colleagues,” Mr Barau said.
Saturday’s empowerment initiative is expected to enhance mechanised farming, promote food security, and strengthen rural economies across Kwara Central.
