His Excellency Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has earned widespread acclaim for his unwavering commitment to the development of Kabo Local Government Area in Kano State. This sentiment was eloquently expressed by Alhaji Salisu Kabiru, a former chairman of Kabo LGA, who spoke on behalf of a broad coalition of stakeholders from the area during a recent courtesy visit to Senator Barau’s office at the National Assembly in Abuja.
Addressing the Deputy Senate President, Alhaji Kabiru said, “You have transformed Kabo into a Maitama-like city with all the necessary basic amenities. We are deeply grateful for this transformation.” His words resonated with many, encapsulating the profound changes witnessed across the ten wards of Kabo under Senator Barau’s leadership.
The delegation comprised an impressive cross-section of the community, including former local government chairmen, directors, influential politicians, serving civil servants, educators, traders, and farmers. This diverse representation underscored the broad-based appreciation for the development initiatives spearheaded by Senator Barau.
According to the spokesman for the group, the stakeholders wished to express their heartfelt gratitude for the numerous infrastructural projects that have revitalized every corner of Kabo LGA. “No ward has been left behind,” he emphasized. “Senator Barau’s impact is evident in every sector—roads have been constructed and rehabilitated, healthcare facilities upgraded, schools improved, access to electricity expanded, water supply enhanced, and agricultural development programs introduced. These efforts have collectively elevated the living standards of our people.”
In response, Senator Barau I. Jibrin warmly thanked the delegation for their continuous support and dedication to community development. He acknowledged that the impressive transformation was a product of collaborative effort, stating, “The success we have achieved in Kabo is not the work of one individual but the result of our united efforts. Every stakeholder—from government officials to ordinary citizens—has played a vital role. Let us double our efforts to sustain and expand this progress.”
Senator Barau’s vision for Kabo transcends mere infrastructural development; it embodies a holistic approach to improving the quality of life, fostering social cohesion, and empowering the local economy. His leadership has not only enhanced physical amenities but also reinvigorated hope and pride among the people of Kabo.
