The Arewa Youth Parliament (AYP) proudly commends Hon. Bashar Buhari, Special Assistant to the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, for his exemplary dedication to public service and youth development across Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto States.
Speaking on behalf of the Parliament, Comrade Hassan Umar Ladan, Speaker of the AYP, lauded Hon. Buhari’s far-reaching initiatives that have significantly improved the lives of young people and underserved communities in Northern Nigeria.
Hon. Buhari’s commitment to building a brighter future is evident through a series of impactful programs, including:
Skills Acquisition and Youth Development: Offering vocational training to equip youth with practical skills for self-sufficiency.
Community Support During Festivities:
Organizing food and goods distribution during Ramadan and Sallah to assist vulnerable families.
Educational Advancement: Sponsoring JAMB registration for thousands of underprivileged students, increasing access to tertiary education.
Support for Constituents and Party Loyalists:
Distributing vehicles and motorcycles to enhance mobility and economic participation.
Healthcare Access: Leading medical outreach programs to improve community health outcomes.
Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities: Providing over 500 tricycles to disabled individuals, fostering independence and dignity.
These initiatives align seamlessly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at reducing youth restiveness and fostering inclusive national development.
The Arewa Youth Parliament calls on young political officeholders to emulate Hon. Buhari’s service-oriented leadership and commitment to meaningful change. By placing youth empowerment and public welfare at the forefront, we can collectively build a more hopeful and prosperous Nigeria.
AYP also extends sincere appreciation to the Honourable Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Atiku Bagudu, for appointing Hon. Buhari. His leadership has brought tangible benefits to the people of Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto States, serving as a testament to the power of purposeful governance.

Tinubu, PDP Hail Gov Okpebholo’s Road Infrastructural Revolution in Edo
Joel Ajayi
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.
The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.
Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.
The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.
“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.
The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.
He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.
“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
