The Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin, has extended congratulations to Governor Umar Namadi as he celebrates his 63rd birthday. Speaker Dangyatin conveyed these felicitations on behalf of all members of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, the State Assembly Service Commission, and the entire staff of the State Assembly.
In his tribute, Speaker Dangyatin stated, "I am profoundly honoured to extend our warmest felicitations to you on the auspicious occasion of your 63rd birthday. Reaching this significant milestone is not only a testament to God’s grace upon your life but also a moment of celebration for all of us who witness your tireless dedication to the service of our dear state. Your journey thus far has been one of integrity, and your leadership continues to be a source of inspiration for many."
He added that Jigawa State has experienced a notable period of stability and progress under Governor Namadi's "visionary leadership." The speaker highlighted that the governor's 12-point agenda is actively being implemented through various development projects across the state's constituencies, representing a "living promise" to the people.
"As you mark your 65th year, we celebrate your wisdom, your calm demeanour in the face of challenges, and your unwavering commitment to the Greater Jigawa project, which seeks to uplift the vulnerable and empower the youth," the Speaker noted.
Speaker Dangyatin also specifically commended the "exemplary and cordial relationship" between the executive and legislative arms of the state government. He attributed this harmony to the Governor's "deep respect for the independence of the legislature" and his belief in the principles of checks and balances.
He further elaborated that this mutual respect has enabled the efficient passage of critical, people-oriented legislation and budgets, which are essential for advancing the state. This collaborative approach ensures that the benefits of democracy effectively reach the grassroots.
According to the Speaker, Governor Namadi's "pragmatic approach to governance" has cultivated a political environment characterized by peace, cooperation, and synergy. He contrasted this with the frequent friction seen elsewhere between executive and legislative branches, stating that in Jigawa, they have found a "partner" in the Governor.
"You have consistently treated the House of Assembly as a co-traveller on the path to state-building, which has allowed us to focus our collective energy on solving the problems of our constituents rather than on political bickering," Dangyatin said.
"As you step into this new year of your life, it is our collective prayer that the Almighty Allah continues to grant you abundant health, divine wisdom, and the fortitude to lead Jigawa State to even greater heights. May your days be long and filled with the joy of seeing the seeds of prosperity you have sown blossom for the benefit of all our citizens,” he concluded.
Governor Namadi, a chartered accountant, was born on April 7, 1963, in Kafin- Hausa town, Jigawa State.
