Impressed by the socio-economic and philanthropic initiatives of Alhaji Aminu Ya’u, a former General Manager of Human Resources at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), the Katagum Youths Mobilisation and Enlightenment Forum has called on him to contest for the Katagum Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 House of Representatives elections.
The forum believes that if Ya’u contests and wins, he could further expand his humanitarian services across Katagum Local Government, benefitting even more constituents.
Speaking during an interview, Rufai Wada, a representative of the forum, praised Ya’u’s significant contributions to the community, particularly his efforts to secure employment for young people.
“He has facilitated job placements for over 200 youths from Katagum, 85% of whom he had never met,” Wada stated.
He added, “You didn’t need to know him personally or have influential connections. Just send him your CV, and he will take care of the rest.”
Wada noted Ya’u’s legacy of community service, which extends far beyond job creation. Through his foundation, Ya’u has supported orphans and vulnerable individuals in the Katagum Local Government Area.
His initiatives include constructing mosques, equipping them with sound systems and furniture, and empowering young people through self-reliance projects.
The forum emphasised that Ya’u’s selfless service and commitment to youth empowerment make him an ideal candidate to represent Katagum Constituency at the national level.
“He has consistently prioritised service over self-interest,” Wada said. “Imagine the impact he could have with a bigger platform.”
The call for Ya’u’s candidacy reflects growing demand for transformative leadership in Katagum. As the 2027 elections approach, many believe Ya’u’s leadership could be a game-changer for the constituency.
