Ever since he launched himself into the political limelight way back from 1998 to date, Hon. Musa Adamu, the current Katsina State Commissioner of Environment, has left no one in doubt that his political slogan remains: ‘Developing & Enhancing the lives of humans’. Almost two & a half decades now, Hon. Musa Adamu has remained consistent with his political slogan without any contradiction or  deviation from that path.

It is still on record that his political train has always been filled with swam of passengers whose loyalty, love and admiration of their hero have remained firm, resolute and unshakable.

This writer had worked with the erudite politician as his image maker when he held away as the Pioneer Commissioner for Local Govt & Chieftaincy Affairs & has seen it all on how he commanded respect and garnered influence among the political key players not only in his Funtua Senatorial Zone but across the length & breadth of the state.

These twin blessings: respect & the political sagacity came the way of Hon. Musa Adamu not by accident or by a pre-arrangement of whatever sort, but by humility, love for the people, cheerfulness & above all his zero tolerance for stinginess.

Musa Adamu’s love for the people always give him an edge over his peers due to his open generosity (kyauta) every now & then!

During our sojourn at the Ministry for Local Government, this writer can neither count nor quantity the number of people coming to Musa Adamu daily for financial assistance or other forms of assistance or favours! But he never closed his doors against such demands neither did he ever frowned or sent away the people.

On the day of the funeral rites of his late father,( may Allah bless his soul & give him an everlasting peace, ameen) despite his state of shock and grief, Hon. Musa Adamu’s heart remained with his people whom he loves so dearly. Shortly after the funeral he directed one of his close ally/political Aide to go and offer financial assistance to the army of sympathisers who left whatever they were to share the moment of pains, agony & grief with the Chief Mourner!

Even during the last Ramadan fast, the Dankafin Katsina spent nearly N35 million naira in offering foods, and rendering financial assistance to his constituents and other people outside his constituency!

In recognition of his sterling qualities & service to humanity, the current Emir of Katsina Dr. AbdulMumin Kabir Usman conferred the title of Dankafin Katsina on Hon. Musa Adamu.

It is against this background, that His Excellency Katsina State Governor found Musa Adamu worthy to be appointed as the Commissioner for Environment in the Service of the Government & people in the State.

He had at different times from 1999 to date  served as a member of Katsina State House of Assembly from Funtua Constituency, the Commissioner for Rural & Social Development,  Agriculture, Local Govt & Chieftaincy Affairs as well as that of Environment.

Hon. Musa Adamu is a full time farmer, grassroot politician, entrepreneur, community leader and a philanthropist.
