A vibrant and quality representation driven youth in person of Hon. Abdulmajeed Iya who hails from Kaduna South Local Government of Kaduna State is of the view that Kaduna South Local Government Area is entitled to have improved leadership.

He said “Over the years the statutory function of the local government as enshrined in the constitution have not been practised religiously by past leaders. Local Government are said to be the closet level of government to the people and as such the local councils ought to be the most accessible and responsive institution that should be there to meet the immediate needs of the people, but this has not been in practice, local government are today unproductive, unresponsive and in a near stage of comatose.

Though over the years, some factors inhibit the performance of local government, these problems inter alia include; leadership problem, lack of accountability, poor planning and weak programming capacity, poor financial base and limited revenue among others”.

He went further to assert that, ‘Basically the problem of leadership has been the bane of development in many underdeveloped countries, which Nigeria is one, but if we can get the right leadership at the grassroots level, I believe their will be a paradigm shift which will have effect on the state leadership up to the federal level. I therefore call for the support, corporation of the people of Kaduna South Local Government to positively change the dynamics of leadership in our local government, there is a need for our people to feel a fresh air of change, we will ensure we collaborate when the time is ripe to run a transparent leadership, that will carry the people along and ensure we try to impact positively to the developmental stride of our communities, we will get the youth involved to help reinvigorate our democracy, keep our ideas fresh, diversify the playing field and allow modern approach to ancient problems, to us it is a moral duty upon us that we will ensure that we give our best and raise the standard of leadership’.

He ended by appreciating His Excellency Gov. Nasir Ahmed El-rufai for giving a level playing ground for all youths at all times and called on youths to remain focused and detest from been used as a tool by some selfish politicians to achieve their selfish goals as is obtainable in the past.

He also prayed for the peace of Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.
