2027: Zuntu Unveils 3D Agenda For Kaduna North Senatorial District

Zuntu said the agenda, which he described as his 3D agenda, would guide his campaign and representation of the eight local government areas in the senatorial district.

He said the first component, development and education, would focus on vocational skills acquisition, scholarships for indigent students and measures to expand access to education.

He added that his plan included working with relevant federal agencies to attract interventions to the district and address the needs of out-of-school children.

On healthcare, Zuntu said he would focus on primary healthcare, particularly maternal and child health, while using his oversight powers to monitor facilities in the district.

‘I have visited six local governments and I have seen the situation of the primary healthcare centres. Some of them are not functional,’ he said.

The candidate said the third component, agro-allied industrialisation and employment, would focus on processing farm produce within the district to create jobs and improve economic activity.

He said farmers producing tomatoes, maize, beans, soybeans and ginger should have access to fertiliser, mechanised equipment and other support.

Zuntu also linked insecurity to economic conditions, saying increased job opportunities and economic activity could help reduce crime and criminality.

He said tackling insecurity should combine kinetic measures with non-kinetic approaches, including employment and community participation.

On forest security, Zuntu called for legislation to place forest guards on the concurrent list, saying states and local governments should work with them to protect forests and gather intelligence.

He said forest guards should be trained and equipped, while local vigilantes should be integrated into the security structure where necessary.

Zuntu said his agenda was drawn from the Youth Party manifesto and should serve as a basis for voters to assess his performance if elected.

He said he would also use legislative oversight to monitor projects and government agencies serving the district.

‘I will follow the money and follow the work,’ he said.
