The Women for Gagdi, a support group dedicated to community development and political involvement in honour of Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, organized a rally to celebrate his one year in office for his second term as the Member of the House of Representatives for Pankshin/Kanam/Kanke(PKK) local government areas of Plateau state.
The rally, held at the Gagdi support foundation training center in Pankshin, brought together women from the 36 federal wards of the constituency.
Speaking at the event, Zakiyah Usman Zumunta, Convener of Women for Gagdi, praised Hon. Gagdi’s inclusive and impactful leadership.
She expressed the group’s unwavering support for his vision and aspirations, highlighting his commendable efforts in improving education and infrastructure not only in PKK but also across Plateau State.
“We are here today to honor Hon. Gagdi’s one year in office. The women gave their votes, and now we are rising up to participate in community development and politics.
” Hon. Gagdi does not know sentiment; his ideology transcends religion, tribe, and party affiliations. He has made a personal impact on many lives”
“Before now, many people had to go to the stream to get water, but thanks to him, people now have access to clean water and boreholes. If you look at the rate of Plateau youths gaining employment all over Nigeria, you would be proud that someone like Gagdi is representing Plateau.” She said.
Furthermore, Mrs. Anne Suwa Dimka, Coordinator of Women for Gagdi in Kanke LGA, commended Gagdi’s efforts in job creation and skills acquisition programs for women.
She stated.”Hon. Gagdi has done a lot for our community, particularly for women and youths. He has provided numerous job opportunities, making our youths self-reliant and able to support their families.
“Women have also benefited from skills acquisition programs such as tailoring and makeup. We are grateful to have a representative who includes women in his initiatives.”
According to her, a strategic plan has been proposed to select women from each ward, train them in various skills, and provide capital to expand their businesses.
In her remarks, Mrs. Nenrot Bridget Tunkura, Coordinator of Women for Gagdi in Pankshin LGA, emphasized the importance of the rally in bringing together women from various wards and units to celebrate Gagdi’s achievements.
“Hon. Gagdi has paid for WAEC, NECO, and JAMB fees for our children and empowered women with different skills. We have about 60 women graduating from tailoring and makeup programs next week. We want him to add more women to his committees and provide more job opportunities for women with advanced degrees”
“One pressing issue is the market women who are facing challenges with preserving tomatoes and peppers. We are asking Gagdi to help bring preservation methods for these items.” She said.
Representing Honorable Gagdi, Senior Legislative Aide, Hon. Josiah Samuel Takora expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the women.
“This gathering is a testament to their self-motivation and dedication. Your presence and enthusiasm are a clear indication of the positive impact the Honorable has had in his one year in office,” he emphasized
