The Kaduna Good Governance Agenda (KGGA) has encouraged lawmakers across the country to improve the welfare of Nigerians.

It also commended the lawmaker representing Lere Federal Constituency, Kaduna State, in the House of Representatives, Ahmed Munir, for enhancing the welfare of his constituents.

KGGA President Mohammed Bello, and Secretary-General Richard Austin, in a statement on Monday, said they were mindful of Munir’s numerous projects to develop the region but encouraged him not to rest on his oars.

According to Bello, through Munir’s tireless efforts, many youths have been employed and empowered, leading to significant development in the constituency.

He noted that Lere has become a model federal constituency in Kaduna and the envy of others.

“Hon. Munir’s impressive project portfolio includes the construction of Kudaru (Jos-Kaduna road), the ongoing construction of Yarkasuwa road, and the mega construction of 11 bridges, including Nasarawa Bridge, Jan Kasa Bridge, and Limoro Bridge, among others.

“Additionally, he has facilitated the construction of the Abadawa-Lere road and the ₦26.7 billion construction project of a 2×60 MVA 132/33 KV substation with the installation of a 500 KVA transformer.

“His dedication to empowering young people is particularly noteworthy. By providing opportunities for skills acquisition, education, and employment, he has inspired a new generation of leaders and change-makers who are equipped to drive positive change and promote sustainable development,” he said.

He added that Hon. Munir has demonstrated exceptional leadership, resulting in his appointment as the ECOWAS Parliament Vice Chairman on Infrastructure.

To this end, he urged Munir to continue his good work, particularly in the areas of infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and commerce.

He said: “We applaud Hon. Ahmed Munir for his selfless service and dedication to the people of Lere Federal Constituency. His achievements serve as a shining example of good governance and effective representation.

“As a champion of youth empowerment and socioeconomic development, Hon. Munir has earned a reputation as a leader who truly cares about the welfare of his people.

“We urge Hon. Munir to continue his good work, particularly in the areas of infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and commerce. To other Kaduna lawmakers, we advise that you take a cue from Hon. Munir’s exemplary leadership.

“Emulate his dedication to serving the people and promoting socioeconomic development in your respective constituencies. Collaborate with stakeholders, including business leaders and community organisations, to identify and address the unique challenges facing your constituents.”
