SUNTAI WARD IS CHANGING: LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON
The Green Card of Hon. Daniel Ayuba, Councilor of Suntai Ward and Son of Hon. Veronica Alhassan, Member Representing Bali 1 Constituency

Leadership can be inherited, earned, or bestowed, but what truly defines it is service. In Suntai Ward, a new chapter is being written by a young leader whose commitment to his people echoes the legacy of his trailblazing mother.
Hon. Daniel Ayuba, Honourable Councilor of Suntai Ward and son of Hon. Veronica Alhassan, Member representing Bali 1 Constituency in the Taraba State House of Assembly, is redefining community leadership with humility, integrity, and action.
From day one, May 2023, Hon. Ayuba rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Like his mother, fondly called Jaruma, he understood that leadership is not about occupying an office but fulfilling a responsibility. And fulfill it he has.
Upon assuming office, he unveiled a Five-Point Agenda designed to uplift Suntai Ward:
1. Provision of Clean Water
2. “Light Up Suntai” Campaign
3. Educational Support & Opportunities
4. Security System Upgrade
5. Infrastructure, Empowerment & Trade Support
Fast forward to July 2025, just 2 years and 2 months later, four out of those five goals have already seen remarkable progress.
Education for All
Following in his mother’s philanthropic footsteps, Hon. Ayuba sponsored JAMB registration fees for over 50 students in Suntai Ward. His message is clear: “Education is the gateway to opportunity, and no child should be left behind.” He has also pledged continued support for students who show dedication and academic excellence.
Clean Water for Healthier Lives
Hon. Ayuba didn’t forget where he came from. He once shared that he grew up without access to clean tap water, an experience he vowed would not repeat under his leadership. Today, multiple boreholes have been drilled in strategic areas across the ward, giving residents easy access to safe and clean drinking water.
Lighting Up Suntai
Under his “Light Up Suntai” campaign, the councilor has installed solar-powered streetlights in key neighborhoods, increasing safety and extending economic activity into the night. Additionally, he has empowered young entrepreneurs by distributing solar panels to boost productivity in their small businesses, reducing reliance on YEDC and encouraging self-reliance.

Uniting Through Sports
Understanding the passion for football in the community, Hon. Ayuba organized a football league featuring teams across Suntai Ward. With full equipment and logistical support, the tournament was more than a game, it was a celebration of unity, peace, and youth engagement.

Leadership Through Service
Hon. Ayuba has proven himself to be a true son of the soil, a farmer, a sportsman, and a people-centered leader. His engagement with youth groups, women traders, and local farmers shows a genuine understanding of his people’s needs. Whether it’s empowering women in trade or enhancing local security, he has stayed connected, committed, and consistent.
The Vision Ahead
“My dream is to make Suntai a small London, a place so developed that people from far and wide will come just to experience it,” he said. With his actions matching his words, that vision doesn’t seem too far off.
All together, we pray for a more successful political career, as you have shown us while working as a councilor, you will increase in strength, political office and leadership skills. Thank you Honourable.
