HON. AHMED MOHAMMED: AN EMBODIMENT OF PHILANTHROPISM By Ahmed Gudman Odagba

HON. AHMED MOHAMMED: AN EMBODIMENT OF PHILANTHROPISM

By Ahmed Gudman Odagba
================================
On Monday was the first day of a new year (01/01/2018). Ordinarily, I should send new year message(s) to the general public but no, I have decided to follow my heart and do what I know how to do best that is, appreciating people who should be appreciated or worthy of appreciation.

Today is an important day, it means many things to many people. The first day of every 365 days that makes a year is not a joke. While many travel to their birth place or home town for many reasons, others stays in their work place to make a resolution for the new year.

Honourable Ahmed Mohammed a.k.a Ahmed-Ahmed, is a man that needs no introduction to his constituents but for your sake who's reading this piece and not from Ankpa local government in Kogi State, He's currently the member representing Ankpa 1 state constituency at the Kogi State house of assembly.

Since he was sworn-in as a member Kogi State house of assembly, I have been following his activities religiously. Today I am convinced that his body system is wired with a philanthropic vein.

Today, I can confidently say without mincing words, that since he became a state legislator, he has always been in tune in terms of understanding the needs of his constituents.

As a state legislator, he has shown his prowess as a development expert. According to a development theorist by name Dudley Seers; "Development is define as a reduction in the rate of poverty, insecurity and unemployment".

However, like Dudley Seers, like Ahmed-Ahmed. While Dudley Seers theorises development, Ahmed-Ahmed practices development. Practically, Honourable Ahmed Mohammed has demonstrated the theory in almost all the five wards that made up Ankpa 1 through his declaration of "Water For All" initiative under which uncountable and functional boreholes were sunk with the aim of reducing poverty and water insecurity.

Also, the establishment of uncountable skill acquisition centers like tailoring, with the aim of reducing unemployment and idleness in his constituency and make his constituents to be self reliant. This is another practical demonstration of Dudley Seers theory on development.

In addition, Hon. Ahmed-Ahmed, with his humanitarian spirit on the eve of new year (31/12/2017) as displayed in the pictures below as part of his efforts to reduce insecurity in his constituency donated a brand new motor bike to the men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) for security surveillance.

While the donation was made, he also proceeded to the Nigerian Prison Service (NPS) Ankpa branch and made a donation of food and other items to the inmates.

I can go on and on and on but I don't want to bore you with long read. Hon. Ahmed Mohammed is a state legislator with a difference.

Hon. Ahmed Mohammed, you're my 2017 State house of assembly LEGISLATOR of the year. My wish for you today is sound health, productive longevity and more feather to your cap so that you may continue to do good. Happy new year!
