A quiet but powerful transformation is unfolding across Potiskum LGA under the leadership of Hon. Salisu Muktari, whose inclusive and people-centered governance style has become a model for grassroots development in Yobe State.
What was once routine administration has now evolved into a purposeful mission to bring government closer to the people—from the wards to the neighborhoods, from the council chambers to the health centers, and from policy to impact.
Hon. Salisu Muktari’s open-door policy has been a cornerstone of his administration’s success; by making himself accessible to citizens, traditional rulers, and community leaders, he has rebuilt trust in local governance and fostered collaboration that continues to drive progress across all sectors.
One of the most remarkable achievements of his administration is the revitalization of the Primary Health Care (PHC) system in Potiskum LGA. Through deliberate coordination with the Yobe State Primary Health Care Management Board and direct oversight, Hon. Salisu Muktari has strengthened the council’s health department, ensuring effective service delivery to residents in every ward.
This open and inclusive approach, according to observers, has helped curb the rise of preventable diseases and improve access to quality healthcare. Communities that once struggled with limited medical attention now enjoy functional, well-equipped primary health centers built to international standards—part of the broader health reforms initiated by Governor Mai Mala Buni across the state.
“Leadership is not about being distant; it’s about being present in the lives of the people,” Hon. Salisu Muktari often says. “We are ensuring that every household in Potiskum feels the presence of government—in their health, in their welfare, and in their daily living.”
From the renovation of local clinics and provision of medical supplies to regular health outreach programs and sanitation campaigns, Hon. Salisu Muktari’s administration continues to prioritize the well-being of women, children, and the vulnerable.
His efforts extend beyond healthcare—touching areas of education, youth empowerment, environmental sanitation, and local infrastructure, all guided by his commitment to inclusiveness and accountability.
Today, Potiskum LGA stands as a symbol of responsive leadership, where communities work hand in hand with their local government to shape a healthier, safer, and more progressive future.
Hon. Salisu Muktari’s leadership is not only about administration—it is about renewal, compassion, and service, built on a foundation of openness, teamwork, and unwavering dedication to the people of Potiskum.
