Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has instructed political appointees in his administration to prioritize the welfare of citizens at the grassroots level or step down from their positions.
The directive was contained in a statement issued by Zainab S. Rabo, Senior Special Assistant on Media Affairs to the Governor, following a stakeholders’ meeting held on Sunday at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Dutse.
Governor Namadi emphasized that governance should remain people-focused, urging officials to be responsive, compassionate, and committed to improving the lives of residents across the state.
He stressed that his administration is guided by a principle of mutual support and service, calling on appointees to strengthen their engagement with the public and address their needs more effectively.
“Anybody who feels he earns nothing to use in supporting the public should resign,” Namadi said.
He added that true leadership is measured by service, empathy, and dedication to the well-being of the people.
The governor’s remarks come amid growing public complaints about perceived lack of assistance from some political office holders, with concerns that certain appointees are not meeting expectations in supporting their communities.
