From NWDC to Kabo University: 10 legacy projects of Senator Barau in 3 years

Culled from the Parliamentarian Magazine:

In Nigeria’s evolving political landscape, where citizens increasingly demand measurable impact, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has distinguished himself through a combination of legislative advocacy and people-centred development initiatives across Kano North Senatorial District and beyond.

Senator Barau’s interventions in the period under review; 2023 to 2026, cut across education, infrastructure, agriculture, security, and economic empowerment, reflecting a deliberate, multi-dimensional approach to development.

The Parliamentarian Magazine chronicled 10 major legislative and development interventions of Senator Barau.

North West Development Commission (NWDC)

One of Senator Barau’s most significant legislative contributions is the establishment of the North West Development Commission (NWDC).

The commission is designed to tackle the region’s long-standing developmental challenges, including poverty, infrastructure deficits, and environmental concerns. It is expected to catalyse coordinated and sustainable development across the North-West.

Maliya as Senator Barau is fondly called sponsored the bill for the establishment of the commission.

Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo

To expand access to higher education, Senator Barau sponsored the bill for the establishment of the Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo. The sponsorship of the bill led to the conversion of Federal Polytechnic Kabo to Federal University of Science and Technology, Kabo.
