Kaduna PDP Candidate Bawa Promises Grassroots Governance

Hon. Usman Shehu Bawa, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kaduna State, has pledged to implement a grassroots approach to governance if elected in 2027. During a policy dialogue organized by the Partnership for Issue-Based Campaign, Bawa stated that his administration would consult stakeholders across the state's 255 wards to identify local development needs.

He emphasized a bottom-up approach, ensuring that government projects align with community priorities. Bawa proposed a multi-level monitoring and evaluation system involving community, ward, and local government committees to enhance accountability and ensure public funds are used effectively.

His administration's priorities include security, education, healthcare, infrastructure, economic empowerment, and institutional accountability. Bawa highlighted that improved security would foster a conducive environment for business and living, while better access to education and healthcare would enhance human capital development.

He also aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises and improve living conditions for residents.
