The Gombe South Youths in Politics have praised the humanitarian interventions of the Hub 2023 Grand Development Foundation, urging governments, development partners and well-meaning Nigerians to support its community-based initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods and promoting peace.
The youths said the Foundation had continued to make a meaningful impact through projects that foster unity, sustainable development and social inclusion across communities.
The commendation followed a series of community engagement activities carried out by the Foundation in Gombe State under the leadership of its President, Chief Barr. Gibson Timothy Kataps, who is also the Secretary to the Taraba State Government.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the Coordinator of Gombe South Youths in Politics said the Foundation had consistently demonstrated genuine commitment to improving the welfare of ordinary people through practical interventions.
According to him, members of the Foundation visited Tanglang in Billiri Local Government Area to condole with one of its members, Dr Arabs Rukujei, over the death of his elder brother.
The delegation also paid a courtesy visit to the Mai Kaltungo at his palace in Kaltungo Local Government Area, where discussions focused on strengthening collaboration with traditional institutions to promote peace and community development.
The Foundation further visited businessman and politician, Hon. Dr Jerry Joseph Damara, the APC candidate for Gombe South Senatorial District, in recognition of his contributions to the socio-economic development of the area.
The youths said the Foundation’s interventions extended beyond solidarity visits, highlighting projects such as the provision of solar-powered boreholes, installation of solar streetlights, youth empowerment programmes and initiatives designed to improve the livelihoods of women in benefiting communities.
They said, “We commend Chief Barr. Gibson Timothy Kataps and the entire Hub 2023 Grand Development Foundation for their selfless leadership and unwavering commitment to humanity. Their activities continue to unite people across state boundaries and inspire hope among communities. We encourage the Foundation to sustain its noble interventions.”
The group also recognised the contributions of the Foundation’s Organising Secretary, Barr. Sani Marke, describing him as a key figure driving grassroots mobilisation and coordinating programmes across the organisation.
According to the youths, Marke has played a strategic role in expanding the Foundation’s reach through effective community engagements and partnerships that align with its vision of promoting peace, inclusion and sustainable development.
They called on governments, development partners and public-spirited Nigerians to collaborate with the Foundation, stressing that collective action remains vital to achieving sustainable development and improving the living conditions of vulnerable communities.
