The word “General” in another way is connoting to touching, or affecting lives positively in all ramifications, it can still be touching most people,touching places or thing. Its no longer a jamboree or an abracadabra that the feat in the person of Hon Shiru Lawal is a generality of making sure all and sundry in Lokoja local government Area is tasting the good and the leadership capabilities of this gentleman administrator.
It’s rather unfortunate, Lokoja is an old place even while in Kwara, but in concrete terms there is no correspondent recourse to development weather humanly or infrastructuraly. A state capital in a sorry condition until when a “Civil General”, a Man fondly call by his admirers as “Talk And Do” stormed and in lead of the affairs of the local government.
The word Shiru is synonymous with working and nothing but work. Well to my understanding, I have discovered that “work ” is a man direct personality of his name, meaning that a man can act exactly the true meaning of what he answer.
I had now unravel the true rhetorics meaning of the name “Shiru”, the Kakanda interpretation of the word means a “Writer ” an action (Verb) word that connotes “work”. I further realised is more of abbreviated word that stand to be something else
S-H-I-R-U is breaking through into the new fallow grounds of development, a work he purposely plan to achieve come rain sunshine. No wonders his political allies and the people from the Lokoja traditional area of Hausa speaking people calls him “Agogo sarkin aiki” ,this is really the truth nature of who he is. A working personified administrator, an action man that is setting a pace in the developmental scene of Lokoja local government.
With the coming of Shiru on board Lokoja local government has become a “no doll moment”,hardly a week will pass by without any one project or the other that will be launched for either construction, renovations, or rehabilitation from Ward A, Ward B, Ward C, Ward D, Ward E, Kupa, Abugi and Budon etc are places with various projects and on duty to work out the bad image of the places and wearing it a face of development.
Before the end of this year he promised to tour the local government with meaningful developments.
You can’t believe it,during a courtesy call some times ago, His Royal Highness, the former Military governor of Bauchi state, Brigadier General Abu Ali salute the Administrator after he heard narrative testimonies of Bassa people who resides in Lokoja
On telling the general a novelty plan by Lokoja Local government administrator of Royal Fathers meetings to be introduced , my General was only nodding his head a sign of a creative ability that has not been done else where.
The General who heard Lokoja Youths in the local government were promised package of empowering programs that will reshape their lives Which he will wants Bassa administrator to emulate.
According to Abu Ali that he saw development right when he pass through old market and saw the construction and renovation of Maigari of Lokoja office unlike the previous years of his visit.
“Shiru this is wonderful, you are really working, I can see it, I can feel it, this is just awesome”. Said Brig.Gen Abu Ali
Buying the words of the General that Lokoja is looking wonderful, which is now answering it’s real name, .Check out the city at night, you can only behold the glory of a great city, street lightening, Security, peace, infrastructural development, Roads well tarred and free of all pot holes is what characterised Lokoja now.
If his Royal highness, the General that says  the admistraror outside his jurisdiction has stood up and salute the worthy son of the land who is making noticeable strides of development a celebrated messiah, I think we are all to follow suit.
It’s now appearing to many that the hurt words, the name calling,the irrational and rational abuses,the primordial attacks by many aggrieved politicians is fertilizing Hon Shiru Lawal with an inbuilt shocks absorbers to remain focus on his designed blue print of his people oriented policies.
His vision is still ”Lokoja must be good” and to  him no excuse for whatsoever reason the Local government should remain the way it’s.
His dream is ”Lokoja local government Area will be enviable by all people from all works of life.
Shiru is working the work. Any where he goes is doing the work.
