Chairman House Committee on Commerce, House of Representatives of Nigeria. ECOWAS Parliamentarian. Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineer.

Joined September 2019
Following my recent engagement with the brilliant people at @ARAA_CEDEAO in Lomé, Togo, on scaling humanitarian aid and sustainable school feeding initiatives, I conducted an on-the-spot assessment of local agricultural processors, farming cooperatives, and herder networks across the West African region. ​My goal is to translate these regional best practices into an innovative, community-rooted economic model for Lere Federal Constituency. We shall be pioneering the model in select schools to commence within the 2027 cycle, developing an integrated school feeding model designed to transform our local economy anchored on 4 cornerstones: • ​Empowering Herders & Farmers: Direct off-take agreements for locally produced grains and dairy from Lere, creating reliable revenue for our agricultural producers. • ​Elevating Quality & Export Standards: Strengthening local processing capacity so Lere products meet the high standards required for #ECOWAS and continental markets under the #AfCFTA . • ​Drivng Education & Child Nutrition: Guaranteeing nutritious meals to boost school enrolment and daily attendance across our schools. • ​Women's Economic Empowerment: Structuring school canteens to be managed by women-led micro-enterprises, placing financial independence directly into the hands of local women. ​By connecting our local production directly to our schools, we build a self-sustaining cycle that feeds our children, empowers our women, and expands the market footprint of Lere's farmers beyond our borders.

Clean water through the provision of solar-powered water boreholes is coming to fruition in an additional 50 locations across Lere Federal Constituency. This particular phase is now at 60% completion with a 100% completion target of November 2026, as majority of the communities have started utilizing their facilities. WASH is an issue dear to my heart and I remain committed to Lere becoming ODF by 2027. These facilities provide a sustainable and eco-friendly source of water for our communities improving health and general wellbeing of our populace. The locations of the aforementioned 50 number solar-powered borehole installations in this phase include; 1Unguwan Zakari 2 Kwanan Bauda 3 Kamfa 4 Unguwan Tanki 5 Unguwan Kanawa 6 Juran Kari 7 Masallacin Kamfa 8 Merjere 9 Kauran Lazuru 10 Kafin Lazuru 11Tudun Wullii 12 Saminaka behind Keystone bank 13 Domawa Kadage 14 Rigan Bomo 15 Unguwan Mele 16 ECWA Hayin Gada 17 Tsohon Hakimi Kahugu Palace 18 Kampa Kayarda 19 Ashema Asokai 20Kadiri 21 Meresu 22Kudaru 23Unguwan Danbanki 24Ayada 25Unguwan Waziri 26General Hospital Saminaka 27 Gurza 28Gidan Waya 29Luwuna 30Kantau 31Unguwan Malam Sada 32Bitarana 33Kampa Yarkasuwa 34Pata 35kawere 36Dambuwa 37 Durumi 38Tudun Tsira 39Kafanuwa 40Kurmin Dodo 41 Jaja 42Ikarami Warsa Piti 43Dogon Daji 44Damau 45 Yadin Garu 46Gasakora 47 Alwalu 48Kakun Dan Alhaji 49Groshel Kayarda 50Lugura

Wawan Rafi often refers to meandering river in the Hausa language. And true to its name, with every rainfall it seems to shift and change trajectory. This makes the engineering design of this bridge construction project masterful. Work is in progress and proceeding well. Upon the completion of this vital project, it shall link communities such as Dokan Dan Bala, Wawan Rafi, Jahunu in Dan Alhaji Ward, and Kayarda communities such as Goron Dutse, Unbaryam and beyond, whereby farmer's agricultural products can now be linked to markets and community members shall no longer be cut-off from schools and hospitals to get the vital education and healthcare they need to achieve peak potential.
