Kogi East is blessed with kind-hearted individuals from all works of life and among them come the person of Honourable Hassan Baiwa, Deputy Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly and a brother to APC national women leader, Hajia Salametu Baiwa.
Let me not bore you with needless introduction even though courtesy demand it.
Honourable Hassan Baiwa representing Okura Constituency is known for his vivid contributions in the House. Just like his other colleagues, he has also presented some Bills and sponsored Motions in Kogi State House of Assembly.
He has brought succour to many homes in terms of employment, health, and other socio-economic empowerment of the youth thereby helping to extend the frontiers of humanity.
Hassan’s closeness to the people derives from his caring and his understanding of the core expectation of good governance. Here is a man whose values recognized that development must necessarily begin with the core elements that make up a political system and that a good government is such as provides the people with structures and infrastructure for their welfare.
His love for his people was a prelude to his being shot into the State polity with his election in 2015 into State Assembly as a member representing Okura Constituency. His performance was unprecedented by altering political history of the constituency with quality representation. His three years in the State House of Assembly also brought smiles to the faces of many constituents.
Since the nation’s economy slide into recession, primarily precipitated by falling oil prices in the global arena, many Nigerians have had to contend with the untold hardship that accompanied the economic quagmire. In the last two year, inflation was on the rise with concomitant effect on prices of goods in the market.
The ugly scenario also manifested in the labour market as major companies and industries have not only been cutting cost but also continued to downsize the number of workforce, thus compounding the horrendous situation.
Prior to the development, many employable citizens have expressed disappointment over their inability to get jobs after leaving the four walls of their various citadels of learning. The situation has become an albatross across the 36 states of the federation with punctured hope.
However, for people of Okura constituency, all hope was not lost. in the month of April , the member representing Okura constituency rode to Anyigba, Dkina Local Government Area with retinue of aides, admirers and supporters to dish out multi-million naira empowerment materials to over five thousand beneficiaries.
Some top dignitaries, who attended the event were the , National Women leader of All Progressive Congress(APC) Hajia Salametu Baiwa, members of the State House of Assembly, traditional rulers and party stalwarts among others.
The huge turnout of very important personalities at the ceremony also attested to the personality of Hon. Hassan Baiwa.
Empowerment items included scholarship, bursary and student school fees, financial assistance with whooping sum, donation of vehicles, tricycles, motorcycles, grinding and sewing machines and wheelchairs for disables among other assistance to the people of the Okura Constituency.
Destined for higher assignment in the National Assembly, the Anyigba-born politician is coming to serve his people in Dekina/Bassa in thee Green Chamber come 2019.
With his personal and official achievement, one wonder what will Honourable Hassan Baiwa do if he is given opportunity to serve in higher office like Dekina/Bassa House of representative. there’s no doubt that the people of the constituency will be better for it.
