‎In a remarkable display of compassionate leadership and commitment to inclusive development, Hon. Barrister Aliyu Wakili Boya, the dynamic House of Representatives member for Fufore/Song Federal Constituency, has empowered 250 men and women living with disabilities across his constituency. This groundbreaking initiative, launched under his flagship empowerment program, underscores Boya’s unwavering dedication to uplifting the most vulnerable segments of society, fostering self-reliance and economic independence in Adamawa State.

‎The event, held at the Fufore Town Hall, was a vibrant celebration of resilience and hope. Beneficiaries from various communities in Fufore and Song Local Government Areas gathered to receive a diverse array of support packages, including startup grants, assistive devices such as wheelchairs and hearing aids, vocational training kits for tailoring, farming, and petty trading, and even tricycles for mobility-impaired individuals. “This is not just aid; it’s a launchpad for dignity and productivity,” declared Hon. Boya in his keynote address, his voice resonating with passion. “As your representative, I see the untapped potential in every challenged soul. Today, we ignite that spark for 250 families, ensuring no one is left behind in our march toward prosperity.”

‎Hon. Boya, a seasoned lawyer and politician born in 1978 in Malabo, has built a stellar reputation as a “man of the people” since his election in 2023 under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner. A product of the University of Maiduguri and the Nigerian Law School in Abuja, Boya previously served as Chairman of Fufore Local Government and as Senior Chief Legislative Aide to former Senator Bello Tukur. His legislative portfolio includes chairing the House Committee on Police Institutions, where he has championed reforms, including the recruitment of 136 youths from his constituency into the Nigeria Police Force and the donation of patrol vehicles.

‎This empowerment drive is part of Boya’s broader “Mega Empowerment Extravaganza,” which has already impacted over 13,000 constituents through distributions of vehicles, motorcycles, sewing machines, and farming equipment. Critics and supporters alike hail him as a beacon of true representation, with recent calls urging him to contest for higher office, such as the Adamawa governorship or a senatorial seat in 2027. “Boya’s actions speak louder than words; he’s transforming lives and restoring faith in governance,” said Amina Yusuf, a beneficiary from Song, who received a tailoring kit to start her business. “As a disabled widow, this changes everything for my family.”

‎The initiative aligns with Boya’s legislative efforts, including sponsoring a bill for the establishment of a Federal College of Health Sciences and Technology in Song, aimed at enhancing healthcare and skills training. He has also secured N20 billion for the rehabilitation of the 85km Jabbi Lamba-Malabu-Sarau-Belel Road, connecting Nigeria to Cameroon, and installed over 5,000 solar-powered streetlights and 30 transformers to boost rural electrification.

‎Community leaders praised the program’s inclusivity, noting that beneficiaries were selected transparently based on verified needs across the constituency. “Hon. Boya’s empathy stems from his legal background and grassroots roots,” remarked Elder Bulus, a Fufore trader. “He’s not just a lawmaker; he’s a catalyst for change.”

‎As Adamawa grapples with economic challenges, initiatives like this highlight the dividends of effective representation. Hon. Boya reaffirmed his pledge: “This is merely the beginning. More empowerment, infrastructure, and opportunities await.” With his track record, Boya continues to hype expectations for a brighter future, proving that true leadership empowers the overlooked.
