By Usman Suleiman Sarki PhD.
In every democracy, representation is measured not merely by presence in the chamber, but by impact in the community. For the people of Madobi Local Government Constituency, Hon. Suleiman Mukhtar has emerged as a symbol of purposeful leadership committed to transforming representation from rhetoric into results. His tenure in the State House of Assembly has marked a significant shift in both tone and substance, changing the narrative of how Madobi is represented and served.

This people-centred style has strengthened public trust and restored confidence in the legislative process. Representation, under his stewardship, is no longer distant but visible, responsive, and inclusive. To butress this, one can look at his efforts in the following areas:
*Employment and Economic Empowerment*
One of the most notable achievements of Hon. Mukhtar’s representation is his deliberate focus on employment and economic empowerment. Recognising the challenge of youth unemployment, he has facilitated job opportunities for qualified constituents within government agencies.
