Namadi attended the Hadejia Development Forum, where he inaugurated a newly formed board of trustees for the initiative. The event took place in the Hadejia Emirate, a historic region in northern Nigeria, and brought together local leaders, development partners and community representatives.
The inauguration marked the formal establishment of the board, which will oversee the implementation of the forum’s long‑term development agenda. According to the forum’s statement, the board’s creation underscores a commitment to a comprehensive 25‑year strategic development roadmap.
The 25‑year roadmap is designed to guide priorities across the Hadejia Emirate, focusing on coordinated planning and sustained investment. It aims to strengthen partnerships among government agencies, non‑governmental organisations and the private sector, while mobilising the resources needed for large‑scale projects.
Forum officials said the roadmap will promote sustainable progress in areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, education and health. By aligning development efforts with clear milestones, the board of trustees is expected to monitor progress and ensure that initiatives remain on track over the coming decades.
Hadejia, located in Jigawa State, is an important agricultural hub in Nigeria, a country with Africa’s largest population. The development forum’s long‑term vision reflects broader national efforts to boost regional growth and improve livelihoods in underserved communities.
