Hon. Bissallah Emerges as FCT Chairman of the Social Democratic Party
Hon. Nuradeen Bissallah, a frontline politician, renowned grassroots mobilizer, and loyal party stalwart, has been elected Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). His emergence followed a peaceful and well-attended State Congress held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja.
Bissallah clinched the chairmanship seat through delegate votes cast at the congress, marking a new chapter for the party’s leadership in the FCT. The event also saw the election of other key officials, including Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman, who was elected State Secretary of the party.
A seasoned politician with deep roots in Abuja’s political landscape, Bissallah had declared his interest in the chairmanship position in April 2025. His victory has been widely celebrated by party faithful and stakeholders, who view his leadership as a unifying force and a fresh opportunity to reposition the party for broader acceptance in the FCT.
Over the years, Bissallah has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the SDP, playing critical roles in the party’s development from the grassroots. His political journey is marked by years of experience and service, including a 15-year stint as Personal Assistant to the former FCT Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and later as Assistant State Secretary of the PDP before joining the SDP.
Party chieftains and members who spoke to JOWBBLOG described Bissallah as “an astute politician and mentor to the younger generation.” One of the delegates at the congress noted, “He deserves this position. Hon. Bissallah has been a pillar in the party, always working behind the scenes to promote its values and strengthen its structure—even when it wasn’t politically convenient to do so.”
His leadership is expected to usher in a new era of inclusivity, youth engagement, and strategic mobilization aimed at expanding the SDP’s reach and influence across the six area councils of the FCT.
With Bissallah at the helm, observers believe the SDP in the FCT is poised for stronger grassroots consolidation and increased visibility ahead of future elections.

Corps Members have been advised to be patriotic towards National building and also use the opportunities of NYSC service year to positively invest in their future.
The immediate past Director of Information and Public Relations of NYSC, Chief Eddy Megwa, stated this during his motivational lecture to Corps Members at the Bauchi State Orientation Camp, Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the State.
Addressing the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Corps Members, Chief Megwa urged them to serve the nation with loyalty and strong sense of commitment, adding that, no nation grows without the selfless services of her citizens, he therefore urged them to rise up and make the desired change.
The Retired Director, urged the Corps Members to deliberately work towards building a great nation that would compete among the comity of nations, because, “if things are working very well, the youths will not be desperate about relocating to other countries of the world for greener pastures”.
He discouraged the youths from irregular migration, describing it as a suicide mission, because of many risks associated with it, including avoidable deaths, jail terms among others, but equally advised them to follow the official travelling protocol if the need for foreign trip arises.
He also encouraged the Corps Members to strive for excellence in whatever they do, adding that they should leverage on the achievements of their predecessors.
“Do not put your names and your families’ names into disrepute by getting involved in crimes and other unwholesome activities. NYSC is not a safe haven for criminals”, he said.
The former image maker of NYSC described the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme of the NYSC as the panacea to graduate unemployment. He therefore advised the Corps Members to take advantage of the SAED programme by learning skills that would be useful and enable them become entrepreneurs.
He emphasized that the days of white collar jobs are over as the reality of today is self employment which is made possible by embracing Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship training.
The Public Relations guru advised the Corps Members Members to be security conscious as vigilance and self consciousness of their environment are key to personal safety.
Earlier, the NYSC Bauchi State Coordinator, Mr Kufre Umoren appreciated the retired Director for the visit and his words of motivation to both camp officials and Corps Members.
The Coordinator described Chief Megwa as a living legend that shaped the NYSC Public Relations Unit to what it is today and left his footprints boldly.
