The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Jigawa State Council, has congratulated Governor Umar Namadi on his third anniversary in office, describing his administration as committed to people-oriented governance and impactful reforms across the state.

In a statement signed by the Chairman of the Council, Comrade Ismail Ibrahim Dutse, the Union commended the governor for notable achievements in key sectors, including food security, infrastructure development, education, agriculture, as well as the sustenance of peace and security across Jigawa State.

The NUJ particularly praised Governor Namadi for lifting the over two-decade-long employment embargo in the state, a bold policy decision that paved the way for large-scale recruitment across various sectors and created job opportunities for thousands of citizens.

The Council also acknowledged the administration’s efforts to improve workers’ welfare through the prompt payment of salaries, gratuities, and monthly pensions. It further described the over ₦12 billion investment in the Contributory Pension Scheme as a significant intervention aimed at securing the future of retirees in the state.

While urging the governor to remain focused in addressing existing challenges, the Union expressed confidence that history would remember his administration as one marked by sustainable growth, inclusive governance, and community-driven policies.

The NUJ also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration between the media and the Jigawa State Government in promoting transparency, accountability, and socio-economic development across the state.
