In a press statement, the Chairman of the SKJF, Ango Bally, highlighted the significance of this appointment, viewing it as a pivotal move towards greater inclusivity, particularly for Southern Kaduna and other historically marginalized areas in Nigeria.
“This appointment is a commendable gesture that reflects a welcome shift toward equitable representation under President Tinubu’s leadership,” Bally stated.
“It fulfills a long-standing aspiration for national integration and showcases the government’s commitment to giving voice to all regions.”

The Forum emphasized that her appointment is not only deserved but also crucial to advancing the objectives of the federal government’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.” Musa’s credentials, which include sharp intellect and sound judgment, position her well to lead the Authority in fulfilling its strategic mandate of attracting investments, enhancing operational efficiency, and fostering the development of Nigeria’s oil and gas free zones.
“The SKJF encourages Musa to serve not just as a leader but as a distinguished ambassador for Southern Kaduna,” Bally added.
“Her leadership has the potential to showcase the talent, resilience, and capacity that our region has to offer on a national platform.”
