By Yahaya Idris
A frontline governorship aspirant in Nasarawa State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Musa Muhammed Maikaya, has declared his resolve to consolidate and expand the achievements of Governor Abdullahi Alhaji Sule ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.
Maikaya, a professional geologist, said his academic background and extensive experience in the solid minerals sector have adequately prepared him to sustain and deepen the developmental strides recorded under the current administration.
He expressed confidence that Nasarawa State stands on a strong foundation laid by the Sule-led government, which, he noted, must not only be preserved but strategically advanced.
Speaking on his vision, the aspirant identified solid minerals development, infrastructure expansion and civil service reforms as critical areas that would receive priority attention under his administration.
He stressed that Nasarawa State is abundantly blessed with mineral resources which, if effectively harnessed, could transform the economic fortunes of the state through increased internally generated revenue, job creation and industrialisation.
Maikaya pledged to deploy his professional expertise to unlock the state’s vast mineral potential, ensuring the sector becomes a major driver of economic growth and sustainability.
He added that a well-structured and transparent mining framework would attract investors and position the state as a leading hub in Nigeria’s solid minerals industry.
On infrastructure, the governorship hopeful assured that his administration would sustain ongoing projects while initiating new ones aimed at improving connectivity, boosting rural-urban integration and enhancing the ease of doing business.
