The Executive Chairman of Kanam Local Government Council, Hon. Salihu Ayuba Musa, has consistently brought the dividends of democracy to the grassroots people of Kanam. His achievements are made possible under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, the captain of the “Time is Now” agenda.

Hon. Ayuba has performed remarkably well, earning the respect and admiration of his people. Within a short time in office, he has proven that leadership is not solely about political grooming but about vision, passion, and commitment to service.

In just one year in office, his developmental scorecard speaks volumes. His passion for education remains unmatched, as he has placed it at the very top of his agenda. From infrastructure to human capacity development, his initiatives have transformed the educational landscape of Kanam.

Beyond education, Hon. Ayuba has touched various sectors, executing both tangible and intangible projects that directly impact the lives of the people. His leadership continues to serve as proof that purposeful governance can uplift communities and lay a solid foundation for sustainable growth.
