As Senator Lawal Adamu Usman celebrates his first anniversary in office on June 13, 2024, we reflect on a year marked by significant legislative achievements, unwavering dedication to his constituents, and notable philanthropic efforts.
Representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Lawal Usman, more popularly as "Senator LA" has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the prosperity and well-being of his people.
Senator LA has been proactive in addressing critical issues through the sponsorship of several important bills:
* National Eye Centre Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023 (SB 83): This bill, which has passed its first reading, aims to enhance the capabilities of the National Eye Centre in Kaduna to meet the growing demand for eye care services in Nigeria.
* Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Kaduna State (Establishment) Bill, 2023 (SB 237): Also having passed its first reading, this bill seeks to establish a new university to address the shortage of medical professionals in the country.
* National Institute for Education Planning, Administration and Other Related Matters Bill: This bill aims to provide a legal framework for an existing institute in Ondo State, ensuring it operates at full capacity and contributes effectively to the educational planning and administration sector.
Additionally, Senator LA moved a motion for the urgent completion of the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, calling for increased security measures to protect commuters. His intervention led to the Minister of Works ordering contractors back to the site, demonstrating his ability to effect immediate change.
Also, Senator LA's philanthropic work, primarily through the LA Care Foundation, has made a significant impact on the lives of his constituents. Key initiatives include:
* Educational Support: Senator LA has earmarked N100 million for scholarships to students in tertiary institutions, alleviating the financial burden on less-privileged students in Kaduna Central.
* Empowerment Programs: His youth and women empowerment programs have provided startup capital of ₦500,000 to 200 beneficiaries, fostering economic growth and self-reliance.
* Community Support: In response to a tragic bomb incident in Tudun-Biri, Igabi Local Government Area, Senator LA personally donated N5 million and pledged to sponsor the education of orphans affected by the tragedy.
Furthermore, Senator LA's leadership extends beyond his legislative duties. He is known for his accessibility and responsiveness to his constituents' needs. His home in Kaduna has become a haven for those seeking assistance, reflecting his commitment to being a listening and action-oriented leader.
He also played a vital role in addressing security concerns in the Birnin-Gwari local government area by sponsoring a motion that called for urgent national attention to the frequent attacks by bandits on farming communities.
Additionally, as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, Senator LA has been a staunch advocate for better funding and support for the education sector. His efforts include participating in national retreats focused on addressing challenges in basic education and promoting solutions to improve the quality of education across Nigeria.
Senator LA's first year in office has been characterized by substantial legislative contributions, impactful philanthropic efforts, and dedicated service to his constituents. His achievements set a high standard for political leadership and community service. As he continues his tenure, the people of Kaduna Central can look forward to more positive changes and continued advocacy for their needs and aspirations.
