Appreciation for the Appointment of Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development
Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
I write on behalf of numerous Nigerians in Kano State, particularly those who have witnessed and benefited from the leadership of Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta.
We wish to express our profound gratitude for appointing him as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development in your recent cabinet reshuffle. This decision is a testament to your commitment to inclusive governance and your resolve to bring people-centered leaders into your administration.
Hon. Atta, as many in Kano can attest, represents the essence of such leadership, and his appointment has already inspired renewed hope and unity among Kano’s diverse communities.
Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta’s unique perspective as a son of Fagge Local Government Area, where non-indigenous communities have traditionally made their home, makes him an outstanding choice for this ministerial role.
Fagge is, in many ways, a reflection of Nigeria’s ethnic and cultural diversity, a miniature Nigeria within Kano, home to people from every corner of the nation.
Atta has worked tirelessly to ensure that this population, rich in its variety, is not only recognized but is woven into the very fabric of Kano’s governance.
His commitment to inclusivity and equal representation has set him apart, and it is truly inspiring that your administration sees the value in such leaders.
A shining example of Hon. Atta’s commitment to Kano’s diverse population is his relentless advocacy for representation among the non-indigenous population. Through his vision and dedication, he made history by enabling the non-indigenous residents of Sabon Gari area in Fagge to have elected councilors in Fagge Local Government.
This unprecedented achievement was not simply a political milestone; it fostered a sense of belonging among the non-indigenous communities and reinforced Kano’s reputation as a welcoming home for all Nigerians. This feat alone speaks volumes about Hon. Atta’s belief in unity, representation, and the Pan-Nigerian agenda.
Your Excellency, your choice of Hon. Atta is indeed a step in the right direction for Kano and for our nation. It sends a message of inclusion and national unity, reminding us all that every Nigerian has a place in our country’s governance and that our diversity is a strength to be celebrated.
This decision has gone beyond the borders of Kano, inspiring countless Nigerians to believe in a country where merit, inclusivity, and selfless service to the people are celebrated. Under Hon. Atta’s guidance, the housing and urban development sector will surely benefit from a leadership that prioritizes the welfare of all Nigerians, regardless of origin.
The people of Kano have already felt a sense of unity and solidarity as a result of this appointment. It has fostered new hope among Kano’s APC members, as well as among the broader Kano populace, transcending political lines and ethnic backgrounds.
Hon. Atta embodies a detribalized Nigerian spirit, and his appointment reassures all citizens that, in your administration, every community is recognized and valued. This is a legacy of leadership that promises a united Nigeria, one in which every individual can contribute meaningfully to our national goals.
In appointing Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta, you have chosen a leader who is not only qualified but deeply passionate about serving the people. We appreciate you for making this decision that, without a doubt, will foster greater harmony and provide a platform for effective governance in a state as diverse as Kano.
We believe this appointment will pave the way for even more Pan-Nigerian policies and programs that strengthen our unity and fortify our collective future.
Once again, thank you, Mr. President, for appointing Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atta. His service as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development will benefit not only Kano but our entire nation.
We are optimistic that this decision will advance the ideals of inclusion, unity, and equitable development that your administration champions.
Yours sincerely,
Hon. Seyi Olorunsola
APC Stalwart, Kano
