Good Governance: The Bashir Zuntu Example -By Ibrahim Mustapha Pambegua

At a time when the qualities of leadership have drop to lowest ebb in our local governments, comes a succour from no other than the new elected chairman of kubau local government in Kaduna state, Bashir Zuntu, popularly known as BZ. Since the time he was elected to date, BZ has proved leadership is all about service delivery. His passion for the promotion of good governance anchored on people centred policies or programs led to the massive execution of projects across the length and breath of the local government.

Since the creation of Kubau local government by Abacha administration in 1996, with the exception of late Umar Abdu pambegua, which to his credit as the chairman the local government witnessed infrastructural developments,no any chairman in the history has achieved half of what he executed. Within his four months in office, BZ has identified with technology as fastest ways for youth development. It is in recognition of the vital role of technology that led to the establishment of ICT in Anchau ward.

As the saying goes” health is wealth,” the administration of Bashir Zuntu has prioritized health sector. Evidence are bound such as: the sending of health team to pambegua and other communities to attend those with sight problems such as cataract, Glaucoma and blurry vision. The health officials did a remarkable jobs by giving free medicine and performing surgery where required. This medical out reach has been commended by many people in the area. Also received nod of recognition is security sector where the chairman built police Outpost in Zuntu to improve security of lives and properties. The Zuntu and falanki roads projects if completed would ease out transportation difficulties and Link up rural communities with urban areas. Plans are underway to construct kwanar zogale road in pambegua. In an efforts to address the erratic power supply bedevil the local government,the chairman has written to Kaduna state government for a quick intervention. The intervention will see power being restored in many communities in the local government.

The restoration of power supply in the local government will create jobs and wealth opportunities to thousands of unemployed youths. The administration of Bashir Zuntu has identified with youths as the backbone of society development. It may interest you to know,many youths have been selected,trained and economically empowered. He has planned to uplift 2000 youths within his first year in office. This dream is feasible if one looks at how he invested heavily in the development of youths since the time he assumed office. The achievements recorded by Bashir Zuntu did not come to us as surprise. He had his education in England and abreast of what development entails. He is suave,urbaned and simple who wants the best for his people. There is no gainsaying the facts, Bashir Zuntu has entrenched good governance through transferency and hard-working in kubau local government.
