The member representing Toto/Gadabuke Constituency at the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Usman Shafa, has charged the Isanayisi Women’s Association, Shafa Abakpa community of his constituency to be service-oriented and contribute positively to the growth of Toto local government area, the State, and Nigeria at large.
This, the lawmaker said, is to ensure speedy development of the area and for their names to be written in gold.
Shafa, who is the House Committee Chairman on Health, gave the charge while addressing members of the association in Shafa Abakpa community, Toto Local Government Area of the State during the association’s annual celebration and presentation of gifts to members.

He congratulated the President of the association, Aishatu Adamu while charging the members of the association to be responsible, service-oriented, upright, loyal to their leaders for societal development.
He appreciated them for initiating such a program that annually encourages the members to save and purchase items for domestic use and be self-reliant urging them to participate fully in politics.
According to him, “The government as an institution will make provision for an enabling environment, the private sector will work more on investment while all of us have the responsibilities of contributing our quota to the development of our community, the state, and the country at large.”
He assured the association of his continued support to its policies and programs to succeed.
The lawmaker charged the officials of the association to continue to be up and doing in initiating good policies and programs that would have a direct bearing on the lives of its members and other people of the community.
