Potiskum Local Government under the leadership of Hon. Salisu Muktari has continued to attract praise and recognition as his forward-thinking agricultural policies position the council as a model for development across Yobe State.

Recently, Potiskum LGA won two prestigious awards—one at the Kaduna International Trade Fair and another at the Yobe Agricultural Show, where it clinched second position in the Agricultural Show and first in the International Trade Fair held at Kaduna State.

These awards are not just victories for Potiskum but symbols of the impact of deliberate investment and strategic planning in agriculture spearheaded by Hon. Salisu Muktari.

Analysts note that while many local governments in Nigeria struggle to define their developmental path, Potiskum has emerged as a success story, driven by policies that empower farmers, promote modern agricultural practices, and encourage youth participation in agribusiness.

Hon. Salisu Muktari has consistently emphasized that agriculture is not just about farming but about building a strong economic base that provides jobs, ensures food security, and generates revenue for sustainable growth.

Under his leadership, Potiskum has supported local farmers with improved seedlings, modern equipment, training programs, and cooperative societies that enable them to compete beyond the state level.

The double awards highlight the growing reputation of Potiskum as a hub of innovation and resilience, making it a reference point for other LGAs in Yobe.

Political observers argue that this achievement boosts Hon. Salisu Muktari’s profile as not just a local leader but a statewide model of progressive governance.

As Yobe continues its recovery from years of insecurity and economic challenges, Potiskum’s achievements stand as evidence that with vision and commitment, local governments can drive transformation from the grassroots.
