Nothing stops the sun from shining; even at night, it is the rotation of the earth that births the night, not the sun going to bed. For the sun, in spite of the circumstances of the season, the sun nature never changes. Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos, for the period of which he was unjustly removed from the office by the court of appeal, never stops intervening and equipping the next generation of leaders.

Truly, as opined by Zig Ziglar, “success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing.” Bagos’ commitment to doing his best for his people even out of office made him a phenomenal leader per excellence and crested name in the hearts of his constituents:

Since ousted from office, 8th November 2023, exactly one year ago, Hon. Bagos was able to do the following despite being out of office:

EDUCATION

*Scholarship:*
Hon. Bagos has given scholarship grants to over 100 students in primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions.

He has also given a lifetime scholarship from primary to university to some talented pupils.

He has paid WEAC and NECO registration to secondary school students to promote access to education for all.

*Donation of Instructional Materials:*

Hon. Bagos has donated learning materials, text and exercise books, a computer set, and science equipment to BECO Comprehensive High School Kwi, Riyom Local Government. This gesture has revived the science laboratories of the institution.

*Grants to Market Women and Traders:*
Hon. Bagos has given grants to over 120 market women as a means of boosting their small-scale businesses due to the effects of the inflation on their businesses.

*Community Intervention*
Hon. Bagos has intervened in the Kuru community by building a drainage system to curtail the impact of gully erosion already washing away farms. This action has arrested the looming hunger that would have engulfed the community.

*Youth Women Empowerment*
Hon. Bagos, despite being put out of office, was able to influence the training of youths and women on organic food spice processing in Plateau State at the National Board for Technology Incubation Centre (TIC), Jos, under the federal ministry of innovation, science, and technology, powered by AEON-STAR Limited.

For the past one year, Hon. Bagos, as a consultant, has been engaged as a speaker in the national and international landscape.
No doubt, it was not the office that made him; rather, he gave the office a voice. His voice has never been silent on matters for justice, truth, and the development of Nigeria and Plateau State.

As we look forward to the transformation of a better tomorrow, in his words , it’s not over until it’s over .

Following the unresolved internal wrangling within the All Progressive Congress,APC, resulting from the recently concluded primaries in Kebbi State, the Senator representing Kebbi South, Garba Musa Maidoki, has defected from the ruling party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Maidoki who chairs the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and serves as the Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation cited unresolved internal wrangling within the APC following the just concluded primaries as the reason for his action.
Madoki was among the lawmakers screened out of the primaries.

Senator Maidoki stated that his decision followed, “wide consultations with constituents” in a letter addressed to the Senate President and read during Tuesday’s plenary.

He explained that his action was triggered by protracted problems arising from the APC primaries

The Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, who presided over the plenary, urged the lawmaker to step down his defection to allow room for reconciliation as the APC in Kebbi does not have a fundamental crisis and that Maidoki’s grievances could be resolved internally.

Barau said, “I wish to intervene and plead with the distinguished senator to rescind his decision. There is no internal problem in the APC in Kebbi State. This is more of a family dispute and we can reconcile. I move that this defection be stepped down for reconciliation.”

Maidoki rejected the intervention, saying that he had already made up his mind as his exit adds to a string of defections from the APC to the ADC in recent months, with discontent over party primaries and internal disputes pushing some lawmakers toward the opposition.

The ADC has increasingly positioned itself as an alternative for politicians aggrieved by the ruling party’s internal processes ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Maidoki’s defection is likely to deepen those divisions and significantly alter the political calculation in Kebbi South.

While revealing that the coaching course is running alongside a similar training programme for referees in the country, Sanusi, who is one of the instructors, affirmed that the dual-programme will bring huge benefits for participants.

Sanusi, who spoke on behalf of NFF president, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, at the opening ceremony of the six-day course in Abuja on Monday, further disclosed that specialized paths have been introduced in building of capacity in the sector.

He specifically mentioned programmes in the areas of young talent, beach soccer and FIFA elite referees that were organized earlier this month, then disclosed that Nigeria has been admitted back into the CAF A-License Coaching Convention.

The NFF scribe described this development as a significant step for Nigerian coaches and urged them to diligently build their capacity towards the highest level possible in the game, then urged participants to show total commitment to excel.

“The technical department is now working assiduously towards resuming the CAF A-License course in Nigeria in August, for the first time in nine years. We have a total of 50 participants for the refresher course, but only 25 will be admitted.

“We will set very high standards and only the best will cross the hurdle. That does not mean we are going to close the door for others. Immediately we are done with this CAF A-course starting in August, we will apply for another one at that level.”

Sanusi also revealed that Gusau, who is also the president of West African Football Union (WAFU) zone-B, has approved a vehicle to move Video Assistant Referee (VAR) training equipment into Nigeria to upgrade match arbiters in the country.
