Garkuwa Deaf Support Group

‎After reaching more deaf children and supporting them with school uniforms and reading and writing materials a few weeks ago, Rt. Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada asked me to meet him upon his return from India to receive additional materials and continue with the project.
‎
‎This morning, I had the opportunity to meet him at his residence in Katsina, alongside our interpreter and the Coordinator of the Deaf School, Muhammad Malami Ingawa, where we received 25 school bags, 50 notebooks, and ₦50,000 to continue with the initiative. We also discussed several key developmental issues affecting persons with disabilities.
‎
‎For many years, persons with disabilities have faced serious challenges, including limited access to quality education, employment, and empowerment opportunities. These barriers have continued to widen inequality and marginalization within our communities.
‎
‎Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada is deeply committed to disability inclusion and ensuring that persons with disabilities have access to education, employment, and empowerment. We pray that Allah rewards him abundantly and elevates him to greater success.
‎

‎I am happy to share that I have launched the Bring Deaf Children to School Project, starting with two deaf children: Nusaiba Bala Ingawa and Tahir Galadima Kusada.
‎
‎The project is generously sponsored by the Member of the House of Representatives for Kankia, Ingawa and Kusada, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada. It is designed to support deaf children who are unable to attend school due to financial constraints.
‎
‎This project targets 50 deaf children across Kankia, Ingawa, and Kusada Federal Constituency. The beneficiaries will receive school uniforms, reading and writing materials, and transportation fare for those who live far from school.
‎
‎May Allah bless Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada for sponsoring this impactful initiative and continue to grant him success in all his endeavors.

Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada writes:

🎉 Happy 65th Independence, Nigeria!

Historians have narrated how the great men from both Northern and Southern Nigeria struggled against colonial rulers in the fight for our nation’s independence.

I will never forget when I was a student at Government Day Secondary School, Kusada, how our history teacher told us about the injustices of colonial rule in this country, and the suffering our forefathers endured.

They burnt down houses and villages, shot at protesters (for example, during the Aba Women’s Riot of 1929), and imprisoned or flogged those who resisted. They imposed harsh taxes and severely punished defaulters. Not only that, they also forced our ancestors into hard labor without pay.

This history reminds us of the priceless value of freedom and the importance of celebrating a day like today.

I join myself, my family, my relatives, and all Nigerians in celebrating our Independence Day. (Happy Independence Day – NAIJA @65)

Today, Rt Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kusada town where he met with the Garkuwa Consultative Forum under the leadership of Barrister Auwal Adam Ingawa, where they presented to him their resolution to continue striving for the success of His Excellency Governor Dikko and Garkuwan Katsina.

From there, he held a meeting with the PRP leaders of Ingawa local government under the leadership of Malam Majazubi and Alhaji Abdulkadir Dambo. He then proceeded to attend a wedding ceremony at a family house.
