Idris Ejima Aruwa, was born in Idah, the headquarter of Idah
Local Government Area of Kogi State, on the 14th of May 1973 to the family of
Dr. Salihu Alhassan Aruwa.
HIS DECLARATION:
“Politics to me is
about providing service to the people where it is required most at a particular
time”.
In
today’s Nigeria, there is on – going agitation for true federalism leading to
competition among the states for self-sustainability and viability, Kogi state
must not be left behind in this race. Like the saying goes “Politics is local”,
the direct impact of the state government on the life of the citizen is
very obvious from the challenges our people are facing today.
The
job of making Kogi state a self-sustaining and viable state that will meet the
expectations of her people. It is to enable our dear state and people of Idah
local government area meet these challenges of the future Nigeria that I
decided to present myself for the post of Member of the Kogi state House
of Assembly
HIS Vision and Agenda
for Idah Federal Constituency:
My Agenda for development of Kogi state and Idah local government
area is built upon the potentials and capabilities (human and material
resources) and hopes to minimize its weaknesses in order to create wealth,
create jobs, reduce poverty, and re-orient the values of the people.
We hope to achieve these by investing in, and empowering our
people, creating an enabling environment for, and actively promoting the
private sector as the engine of growth and job creation, rescuing our
communities from decay and lay the foundation for sustainable prosperity by
jump-starting the emergence of a modern local community in Kogi State that will
attract world talents and culture.
Mine is a grand vision and a plan for sustainable prosperity. The
goal is to understand what it takes to build and manage modern, prosperous
communities. Within 100 days in office, I would organize the “Idah Constituency
Economic Summit” to harness the contributions of all members of the
constituency, other knowledgeable Kogites and our national and international
partners towards the “Idah Constituency Solution 2020”.
My Vision is to take Idah LGA to the next level. Idah LGA should
be an excellent commercial- industrial hub based on Agro business.
It is a vision that intends to exploit the geographical
advantage and the unique entrepreneurial capabilities of our people. With the
dredging of the River Niger and its potential navigability, together with the
proposed airport and refinery in Kogi State, I see the skyline along the banks
of River Niger signaling the new international community.
Mine is a Vision for Innovation, a vision of a world where science
and technology work more directly for social justice, poverty alleviation and
the environmental transformation. Positive Change of life is our dream for the
people of my Constituency. Yes! ‟WE CAN”.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that “Once a mind has been
stretched by a new idea, it never returns to its original shape”. It is in
the same vain that the English publisher, Lady Catherine argued that “Nothing
ever built rose to touch the sky unless some men dreamt that it should; some
men believed that it would, and some men willed that it must”. I am
convinced that God has willed that this dream is one whose time has come: There
is no going back!
