Rimawa Global News extends its profound congratulations not only to His Excellency, Engineer Abdullahi Sule, His Deputy, Dr. Emmanuel Akabe, and the Chairman of the Nasarawa State Council of Chiefs and Emirs, Hon. Justice Sidi Mohammed Bage I (rtd.), but also to the esteemed founding fathers of Nasarawa State, whose vision and dedication made the creation of the state a reality 28 years ago.
The founding fathers, through their relentless pursuit of self-determination and progress, worked with passion and commitment to ensure that Nasarawa would be established as a state that upholds its values, traditions, and aspirations. Their bold leadership, guided by the desire to carve out a unique identity for the people of Nasarawa, has left an indelible mark on its history.
These visionary leaders recognized the rich potential of Nasarawa's natural and human resources and fought to create a state that would harness these strengths for the benefit of its people. From the early campaigns for statehood to the careful planning and negotiation with federal authorities, they displayed remarkable political acumen and unwavering resolve.
Their efforts laid the groundwork for the establishment of key institutions, infrastructure, and governance structures that have continued to shape the state’s development. Over the past 28 years, Nasarawa has grown in leaps and bounds—its educational system, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic opportunities expanding under the foundation set by these courageous leaders.
As we celebrate this milestone, it is important to remember and honor these pioneers who faced numerous challenges in their quest to secure a brighter future for the people of Nasarawa. Their legacy is a living testament to the power of vision, unity, and perseverance. Today, the state stands as a beacon of hope and progress, a reflection of the dreams they worked so hard to fulfill. Their contributions will forever remain a cornerstone in the state's journey toward greater achievements.
This 28th anniversary is not just a celebration of the past but a continuation of the dream that was started by these founding fathers, whose foresight still guides the present leadership and citizens toward the realization of an even greater and more prosperous Nasarawa.
