TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN,MUCH IS EXPECTED FROM SUCH INDIVIDUAL. A CASE OF HON. AHMED ABUBAKAR NDAKENE, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER,REPRESENTING EDU,PATIGI AND MORO FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.
His contributions from sector to sector can never be overemphasized from the date of his inauguration till date. He has demonstrated to be a visionary leader with a wider scope that will bring about a wholesome development for the betterment of the lives of his people. Below are some of his contributions in less than one year from sector to sector.
1. INFRASTRUCTURE

2. EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS
a- Empowering over seven hundred women with a cash grant of 10,000 each to start up small businesses (SME),in Edu local government. The same empowerment happened in Patigi, where over 500 peoples benefited from the above. Moro from reliable source is next in line to benefit from the cash grant.
b- He gave support to constituents where over 3,000 across the three local governments he is representing benefitted from the food palliatives to cushion the negative effect posed by covid19 pandemic.

6. BILL SPONSORED
Since return of democracy in Edu,Patigi and Moro,non of these local governments has ever have it nice like the time of Ndakene. In the past,we just do have bench warmers,but in his own case,he has moved for four important bills which has passed first reading I.e a bill to establish Federal college of education technical Lafiagi, a bill to establish sugar research institute in Shonga, a bill to establish Federal university of technology in Patigi, a bill to establish Federal medical centre Jebba.
All these above to my own stance has shows that he has proved to the people that voted him to be a true son of the soil,and also a true son of a renowned political gladiator Marafa Ndakene( Daudu).
