GAGDI: A New Dimension to Governance.
Politics has been a means through which individuals offer themselves to serve their people.,this begins with campaign leading to elections through which leaders emerged. It is worthy to note that the sole aim of politics is service to the people through good governance, among which includes but not limited to: provision of health care facilities, motorable roads, safe drinking water, social intervention measures, good educational facilities etc. Indices such as the ones mentioned above are identified after careful assessment of the community from where those who wants to provided intervention measures engage the community (community participation in identifying needs) to come out with list of necessities within the community.
Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam Federal Constituency is a community within the plateau central senatorial zone, with Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi as its member. It is note worthy that the Hon member representing this constituency Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi immediately after assuming office, engaged his constituency by setting up a blueprint committee in a bit to bring out a blueprint that will guide him in the implementation of his campaign promises to the people of PKK.
With the blueprint mapped out and barely two years into his tenure as the member representing Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam it is gain saying that indeed the blueprint formulation was not an academic exercise but it is indeed being implemented.
From the empowerment program where women and youths were given agricultural tools and machineries to help them improve their production, to the long lists of beneficiaries of his never seen employment drive in the constituency. It has become glaringly evident that PKK is not only in safe hand but on the right path.
The recent acquisition of machines to help in providing clean water to his constituents has once again demonstrated his vision and love for the people he represents. His resolve to provide 36 solar powered borehole (one each in the 36 Federal wards) of the constituency and 365 hand pump borehole (one in each of the 365 polling units) of the constituency is a new dimension to governance never seen before. This is aside the fact that all candidates within the constituency who have registered for the unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME) will be refund the money they used in registering, this will also be followed by a football competition among the different wards/LGA in the constituency all these will follow the inauguration of a never seen befitting constituency office located in Pankshin, the event will attracts notable personalities like Gov Lalong and the speaker of the house of representatives Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila.
All these is been carried out by a man who from the time of campaigning back then in 2018 leading to 2019 has always prayed and declare that “THE PERSON WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF PKK SHOULD WIN” even if it is not him,in our very eyes, we are seeing that the choice of Rt Hon Gagdi was the best decision the people of PKK made in 2019.It is therefore safe to say that Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi has brought a new dimension to governance to PKK, central zone and Plateau state which has never been seen before within just 2 years in the national assembly.
