Led by Hon. Abdullahi Tanko Yakasai, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (North-West), serving the people of Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara and Jigawa through proactive dialogue, development and dedicated representation.
“On September 16, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed six Senior Special Assistants for Community Engagement across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. This initiative aims to foster inclusivity and regional representation in governance and underscores Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are integrated into the decision-making process, enhancing community development and cohesion. The appointments of these Senior Special Assistants highlight a deliberate effort by President Tinubu to bridge gaps between the government and local communities, fostering dialogue, understanding, and collaboration. It is a proactive approach towards addressing regional needs and concerns. These appointments not only signify a decentralized approach to governance but also demonstrate a commitment to grassroots engagement and development initiatives tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities present in each geopolitical zone of Nigeria.”
From the ancient walls of Kano to the riverbanks of Kebbi, the Office serves communities across the entire North-West geopolitical zone.
