During the ceremony, Senator Mustapha commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his steadfast commitment to prioritizing the needs of rural areas. He highlighted the importance of connected and accessible roads, noting that they are vital for the prosperity of Kwara. By facilitating easier access to markets, these infrastructure improvements will enable farmers to thrive, thus enhancing the overall quality of life for residents. Senator Mustapha’s proactive engagement in such transformative initiatives illustrates his deep concern for the welfare of his constituents and his belief in sustainable development.

In addition to supporting rural infrastructure, Senator Mustapha also took part in an innovative solar power installation and maintenance training program for youth in Kwara Central. Alongside Senators Oyelola Ashiru and Sadiq Umar, he visited the training venue to observe the ongoing sessions, which began on October 17, 2024, in collaboration with the Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI). This program, now in its practical phase, is designed to equip young participants with the skills necessary to enter the solar energy industry—a sector that holds immense potential for growth and job creation.

Senator Mustapha’s commitment to youth empowerment is particularly noteworthy, as he pledged to provide each participant with start-up tools to help them launch their careers in solar energy. The positive feedback from the trainees further underscores the impact of this initiative, as many expressed eagerness to apply the skills they have gained. By investing in the education and skills development of Kwara’s youth, Senator Saliu Mustapha exemplifies the kind of visionary leadership needed to drive the state and Nigeria toward a brighter, more prosperous future. Through these initiatives, he continues to embody selfless service and a genuine commitment to seeing Nigeria work for all its citizens.
