From Suleiman Abubakar
In a significant gathering held in Abuja, Silas Agara, the Director General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), urged for a renewed focus on cooperative initiatives that celebrate individual and collective achievements within the community.
His remarks came during a courtesy visit from prominent Mada political leaders, who gathered to express their congratulations on his recent appointment.
The delegation, comprising political heavyweights such as Senator John Danboyi, Senator Philip Aruwa Gyunka, and former Deputy Governor Chief Mike Abdul, discussed the importance of unity and collaboration in fostering sustainable development.
Agara took the opportunity to emphasize that his commitment to serving Nigerians transcends political affiliations and ethnic divisions.
He called on the political leaders to prioritize the needs of the populace over partisan interests, advocating for quality representation and governance that unites rather than divides.
"Together, we can create a more inclusive platform that prioritizes employment opportunities and skills training, which are vital for the economic growth of Mada land," Agara stated.
He also stressed the importance of celebrating the accomplishments of individuals and groups within the community, believing this approach will inspire future generations.
While acknowledging the role healthy competition plays in politics, Agara urged that it should never overshadow the collective progress of the region.
Chief Mike Abdul, who led the delegation, expressed gratitude to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for recognizing Silas Agara’s leadership qualities.
He noted that Agara’s appointment is a victory not only for him personally but also for the Mada community, as it affirms their significance in Nigeria's progress.
Agara further highlighted the role of the NDE in creating job opportunities and promoting entrepreneurship, calling for collaboration with local leaders to maximize the impact of these programs.
The meeting concluded with a shared sense of optimism, as Agara reiterated his vision for an empowered Mada Nation, driven by unity and effective leadership.
