His Excellency Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (Dan Majen Gombe), executive Governor of Gombe state is one of the very few governors in Nigeria that has the interests of the less a privileged members of the society at hearts.
The governor has barely three months ago gave his assent to the establishment of Gombe State Disability Commission in the state, a commission which, if established, will without mincing words address the yearning aspirations of all categories of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the state including the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
In addition to the myriads of PWDs-centred policies championed by the Gombe state government that have direct bearings to the progress of persons with disabilities in the state, the governor has come up with a yet another socially responsive initiative that is aimed at alleviating the sufferings of destitites and displaced persons in the state known as Solution for the Internally Displaced and Host Communities (SOLID) Project. A project Ability News Network understands was earmarked to provide secure to the IDPs through integration with host community for achieving economic and social empowerment.
Moreso, the governor's resolve to appoint a Senior Special Assistant (SSA 1) to oversee the SOLID project further emphasize the governor's commitment to making life better for the less-privileged citizens of the state.
The choice of an outstanding figure in the person of Hon. Abdulmalik Suleiman as the SSA 1 (Focal Person) was considered a right decision in the right direction by many citizens of the state considering the many contributions and commitments of the new SSA towards humanitarian causes in the state.
The news about Hon.Abdulmalik Suleiman' s appointment as the SSA 1 (Focal Person) was conveyed by the Secretary to the State Government Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi on behalf of the governor and circulated by the Director Press Affairs to the Governor, Hon. Ismail Uba Misili on Thursday.
A statement credited to the Director Press Affairs to the Governor Hon. Ismail Uba Misili which he shared on his official Facebook page reads in part;
"Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, has approved the appointment of Abdulmalik Suleiman Abubakar as Senior Special Assistant (SSA 1) and Focal Person for the Solution for the Internally Displaced and Host Communities (SOLID) Project"
