An industrialist and entrepreneur, Engineer Hayatu Musa Hassan, has ventured into politics and declared his ambition to contest for the Kaduna North Senatorial seat, driven by what he described as a lifelong vision of empowering millions of Nigerians through entrepreneurship and job creation.
Engr. Musa Hassan, a chemical engineer and businessman, said he had spent most of his life building businesses and creating employment opportunities, noting that he began employing people at the age of 15.
He disclosed this in an interview while speaking as an aspirant for the Kaduna North Senatorial seat under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), explaining that his ambition was inspired by what he described as his “Vision 40-40-40” — a personal development target aimed at establishing enterprises and creating jobs before the age of 40.
“I have never held any public office in my life. I have always been an entrepreneur. I built my businesses myself and started employing people from the young age of 15,” he said.
According to him, the vision is centred on establishing about 40 enterprises capable of employing thousands of people and contributing significantly to national development.
The aspirant attributed his leadership philosophy and people-oriented mindset to the upbringing he received from his parents and grandparents, whom he described as major sources of inspiration in his life.
He recalled stories shared by his late grandmother, including incidents surrounding his birth, which he said shaped his sense of purpose and responsibility toward society.
“These are stories of wisdom that instill values in you and guide your life toward serving humanity,” he stated.
The young entrepreneur said his desire to join politics was not for personal gain, but to expand the scope of his impact on society through leadership and economic empowerment initiatives.
