Nasarawa State

The empowerment programme, held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in Obi Local Government Area, saw each of the 200 beneficiaries receive ₦100,000 as start-up or business support.

The office, donated by Jonah Yakubu Adogi, was commissioned on Thursday, September 24, as part of efforts by the former police chief’s campaign organisation to establish a presence across the state’s 147 electoral wards.

The latest phase of the intervention was held in Lafia Local Government Area on Saturday, September 19, 2026, bringing the free medical and empowerment programme to the 13 wards in the local government.

The group’s position followed reports that the party’s state Chairman, Aliyu Bello, was planning to organise a protest against Al-Makura over alleged attempts to encourage members of the ruling party to defect to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Adamu, who recently emerged as the SDP governorship candidate, on Tuesday extended the empowerment initiative to communities across Nasarawa North Senatorial District, covering Akwanga, Wamba and Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Areas.
