Rooted in Heritage
Abubakar Aliyu Garba, born on 3rd December 1977 is a proud son of Ningi Emirate in Bauchi State.
His formative years began at Tarbiya Nursery and Primary School, Barnawa, laying a foundation of curiosity and determination that would define his later pursuits. From a young age, Abubakar stood out as a boy with vision ambitious yet deeply connected to his cultural roots.
A Son of the Soil, Proud of His Heritage
For Abubakar, Ningi is not just a hometown but a symbol of heritage, strength, and identity. He speaks passionately about the emirate, its proud history, and its role in shaping the future of Bauchi State. His deep connection to Ningi is not merely sentimental; it is practical, rooted in a vision to elevate the emirate and give it a stronger voice both nationally and internationally.
“I want the world to see Ningi as I see it – full of potential, blessed with talent, and rich in history,” he says.
Championing Youth Empowerment
At the heart of Abubakar’s ambition is his desire to transform the lives of young people in Ningi emirate. He strongly believes that agriculture and technology (IT) are the two keys to securing a prosperous future for the region.
Farming: Drawing from Ningi’s agrarian culture, he envisions a modernized farming system where young people adopt mechanized agriculture, irrigation techniques, and agro-processing to boost food security and job creation.
Information Technology: Understanding the digital future of the world, Abubakar is passionate about introducing Ningi’s youth to coding, digital literacy, and IT entrepreneurship, ensuring they can compete on a global stage.
This dual approach, he believes, will not only reduce unemployment but also rebrand Ningi as a hub of innovation and productivity.
Promoting Ningi’s Image Beyond Borders
Abubakar is also a cultural ambassador at heart. He wants the world to see Ningi’s rich traditions, hospitality, and industrious people. His vision includes initiatives that will showcase Ningi through cultural festivals, educational programs, and media platforms, thereby attracting investment, tourism, and global recognition.
A Man with a Mission
Those who know Abubakar describe him as ambitious yet humble, visionary yet grounded. His strength lies not only in his ideas but in his resolve to act on them. To him, leadership is not about titles but about service to the community.
As he continues to chart his path, one thing remains clear: Abubakar Aliyu Garba is not just another son of Ningi emirate. He is a torchbearer of hope, progress, and global recognition for his people.
Looking Ahead
With his commitment to farming, IT, and cultural promotion, Abubakar represents a new generation of leaders who see their local roots as a springboard to global relevance. His journey is still unfolding, but if his passion is anything to go by, Ningi emirate will soon have its name etched proudly on the world map.
