In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena” Until you study some public figures, their present status might be mistaken.
Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita is a man of many accomplishments, and those who are familiar with his contributions to humanitarian services will attest to his reputable nature of exemplary discipline and conscientious representation. Not only for the position he holds or the religion he practices, but also his core values.
“I’ve always tried to treat people the way I’d like to be treated,” he says. “That’s probably one reason I know so many people, and so many people know me.”
In fact, if you spend any amount of time with him during his Secondary Education days at Kufena College Zaria or his university days at Bayero University Kano, his primary discussion with you is helping someone out, hardly a person can walk by without greeting him by name.
But more than that, Senator Ahmad Babba kaita knows his constituents. He doesn’t hesitate to make a recommendation. It’s this sort of personal rapport that endears Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita to strangers and neighbors alike. He has a long time fixture of credible personality and brilliant thinking that drags people of virtues nature alike,
He himself admits that he knows a lot of people. This isn’t limited to Daura or Katsina state alone or just the northern part of Nigeria. Having spent so much of his life in parts of southern Nigeria, Portharcourt specifically, he worked in the oil and gas industry for 15years.
95% of the time he goes anywhere somebody recognizes him, witnessing him interact with all sorts of people, you’d be hard-pressed to believe he is legally bound to lead, and he has justly served his part.
The amount of Senate bills he passes and the ones he tarnishes have all passed due diligence to always favor the commoner, and duly, judgment favors his vision.
No matter the location, people, tribe, or religion, his unbiased nature is a fit that has given him the title of “Borderless Senator.”
You will find in his social media handle a steady post of job offers, for youth who have reach the merit status to apply, a test anyone who doubts him can carry out by visiting his social media handle to check this fact.
Some of the most recent bills he has passed will demonstrate his ingenuity and diverse nature in supporting the inclusion of all people, which are:
Establishment Health Sciences Varsity, ICT Institute in Benue, Niger
Establishment of the University of Technology in Offa, Kwara State.
Establishment of the Federal University of Medicine in Abeokuta
Establishment of University of agriculture in Delta
Establishment of the Federal College of Education, Gwoza
All these bills are not three months apart, another test of active leadership. He’s taught all those around him so much about endurance, transparency, and being an honest individual.
Visiting the national assembly one time, I remember walking through a noisy corridor, only to find out that, the noise came from his office. His office was the only room populated with a number of plenty people.
As one of the 9th Assembly’s most powerful senators, Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita shows a strong indication of vast knowledge, experience, and management skills. Senator Ahmad is a man dedicated to youth and women empowerment, in his past eight years at National Assembly, he has attracted thousands of constituencies projects that directly impact the stated minority.
Some of his well-known projects included: constructions of block rooms across three Senatorial Zones, classes for 4,054 students across 12 LGs in Katsina North Senatorial District; construction of hundreds and thousands of motorized boreholes through the senatorial district; provision of over 40 Transformers and influence on the establishment of Federal Fire Service Training Institute (Kankia)
Whatever you look to find in people you shall see, be it good traits or bad ones, but as for the good man in question, his goodwill shall always be a shining pillar for the coming generation to model, to still believe.
He has proven his quality, the very highest.
May God guide his heart towards the fulfillment of his determination to genuinely represent the excellent interest of the people of his constituency. May his desire for a better State come to proper fruition.
