KOGI STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, LOKOJA
MOTION OF COMMENDATION FOR OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS IN ANKPA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
The Rt. Hon. Speaker and my Distinguished Colleagues, I rise today with great honour and a profound sense of duty to move a motion of commendation in honour of 5 illustrious sons of Ankpa Local Government Area, whose remarkable and selfless contributions have continued to strengthen our communities, enhance security, foster development, and uplift the lives of our people and the wellbeing of our communities.
They are:
(i) Hon. Justice Baba Yusuf Husseini,
(ii) Engr. Dr Ismaila Amodu Mohammed,
(iii) Alh. Shehu Yakubu-Concern,
(iv) Alh. Kashim Akor, and
(v) Mallam Idris Yakubu.
These noble men stand out as shining examples of what true leadership and community service mean, even outside the corridors of political office. Mr. Speaker, Hon. Colleagues, permit me to highlight their exceptional efforts in this motion.
Whereas Hon. Justice Baba Yusuf Husseini, Chief Judge of the FCT High Court, through his leadership of the Ankpa Support Group, has spared no efforts in mobilizing resources in support of the Kogi State Government for the security agencies in Ankpa, including provision of operational vehicles and sustained monthly logistics support, thereby boosting morale and improving the overall security situation across Ankpa Local Government.
Whereas Engr. Dr. Ismaila Amodu Mohammed, Project Coordinator of Julius Berger Plc, through philanthropy and personal commitment, has personally funded critical infrastructure projects in Ankpa, including fencing of the old burial ground with solar lighting, fencing of the Muslim Eid ground, development of a new burial ground with access roads, and the construction of a 1.5km road with dual drainage to combat erosion at Ojogobi Road. These projects address both cultural heritage and modern infrastructure needs.
Whereas Alh. Shehu Yakubu-Concern, a successful entrepreneur, Managing Director and CEO of Springboard Securities Ltd., has given back directly to the society by constructing a vital access road in the Low-Cost area of Ankpa, thereby easing transportation and improving the daily lives of residents, in fact, the living conditions in that community.
Whereas Alh. Kashim Akor, former Director-General of the National Productivity Centre, Abuja, has illuminated Ankpa through the provision of solar-powered streetlights across major roads and communities (from Inter-Lona Ankpa to Ejegbo Community, Balewa Road, Taiwo Road, and Yakubu-Concern Street all the way to General hospital, Ankpa), installed transformers in various communities to improve electricity supply, and reconstructed the old Abogede Road. His interventions have improved security, facilitated economic activity and enhanced community life.
Whereas Mallam Idris Yakubu, former senior executive in the banking and aviation sectors (past General Manager in Fidelity Bank Plc, Executive Director in Skye Bank Plc and Group Managing Director of NAHCO Plc), has leveraged his positions to secure over 150 employments for indigenes of Ankpa and Kogi State, and through the Idris Yakubu Foundation has supported healthcare, education, youth and women empowerment, especially benefiting the Ikka community in Ankpa Local Government and beyond.
Observing, the Rt. Hon. Speaker and distinguished Honourable Members, that these distinguished sons of Ankpa are united not only by their success but their selflessness and love for their people, acting without expectation of political reward.
Their collective impact in security, infrastructure, energy, employment, health, and education embodies the very essence of community development.
Accordingly, supporting this motion is not just about commending individuals; it is about affirming our belief in service, in sacrifice, and in the shared responsibility of building our communities.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Honourable House:
1. Commends Hon. Justice Baba Yusuf Husseini, Engr. Dr. Ismaila Amodu Mohammed, Alh. Shehu Yakubu-Concern, Alh. Kashim Akor and Mallam Idris Yakubu for their outstanding contributions to security, infrastructure, empowerment, and overall development in Ankpa Local Government Area.
2. Encourages other well-meaning indigenes of Kogi State to emulate their noble example of selfless community service.
3. Directs that official letters of commendation be issued to each of the distinguished individuals so recognized.
I so move.
