In a time when unity is more vital than ever, one man is quietly reshaping the religious landscape of Taraba State through dialogue, collaboration, and visionary leadership. Alhaji Hussaini Ismaila, the Special Adviser on Muslim Religious Matters to Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas, has embarked on a historic mission: to bring together Chief Imams, Islamic clerics, and religious groups under a common purpose — peace, unity, and progress.
Just recently, Alhaji Hussaini Ismaila convened a groundbreaking one-day summit that drew Islamic scholars and clerics from all 16 local government areas of the state. It was the first gathering of its kind in Taraba’s history — a bold move that signaled a new era of cooperation among the Muslim community.
The summit was more than just a meeting; it was a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when trust and dialogue take center stage. Participants engaged in deep conversations about the role of religious leaders in supporting good governance, promoting peaceful coexistence, and driving community development.
Throughout the event, the Special Adviser emphasized the importance of unity not only within the Muslim ummah but across the broader interfaith landscape of Taraba. His message was clear: religion should be a bridge, not a barrier.
Under the administration of Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas, who has consistently championed inclusiveness and people-centered governance, Alhaji Hussaini Ismaila’s initiatives reflect a deep commitment to the governor's broader vision for a united and prosperous Taraba State. His tireless work behind the scenes — engaging stakeholders, resolving tensions, and encouraging collaboration — is helping to lay a foundation for lasting peace.
Participants left the summit energized, with many pledging stronger cooperation with government initiatives and a renewed sense of responsibility to their communities. The success of the summit has also sparked conversations about sustaining such engagements and expanding them to include broader interfaith dialogues.
Beyond the summit, Alhaji Hussaini Ismaila continues to work closely with community leaders, using soft diplomacy and mutual respect to nurture a culture of understanding. His efforts are already bearing fruit, as different Islamic groups that once operated in silos are now finding common ground.
In a region where diversity is both a blessing and a delicate balancing act, the role of bridge-builders like Alhaji Hussaini Ismaila cannot be overstated. His work stands as a testament to what is possible when leadership is driven by vision, humility, and a sincere desire to serve.
As Taraba State marches toward a future of greater unity and prosperity, the seeds sown by the Special Adviser’s initiatives are sure to blossom, leaving a legacy of peace for generations to come.
