In a time when Nigeria, and particularly Taraba State, yearns for visionary leadership in agriculture and youth development, one name stands out with unwavering commitment and passion—Zanua Hassan Maikasuwa. Fondly called Z.H. Maikasuwa, he is not just a Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Agriculture but a man deeply admired across age groups and professional divides. From politicians to civil servants, business tycoons to rural farmers, youths to elders—he commands widespread respect and affection.
Z.H. Maikasuwa is more than a government appointee; he is a patriotic agricultural crusader, whose impact reverberates across Taraba and beyond. For over a decade, long before he stepped into political office, Maikasuwa dedicated himself to freely mentoring young people in agriculture and entrepreneurship. Through his active presence on social media, he has transformed digital platforms into mentoring hubs—sharing knowledge on crop production, livestock farming, and irrigation techniques, and putting Taraba's agriculture in the national spotlight.
The Holy Book declares that a diligent man shall not stand before mere men, but before kings. That truth finds expression in Maikasuwa’s story. His tireless, result-oriented work has drawn acclaim not only from the ruling party but also from diverse Tarabans across political and social lines. Many see his appointment not as a favour, but as a reward for years of selfless service.
Since taking office, Maikasuwa has proven that leadership is about presence and action. For the first time, farmers in remote corners of the state have had the rare privilege of receiving a representative of the Governor right on their farms—a gesture that has given them renewed hope and a sense of belonging.
His advocacy for the use of modern farming technologies and state-of-the-art implements has inspired a shift from subsistence farming to agribusiness. Yet, his influence doesn’t end in the agricultural sector. Maikasuwa has championed human capital development among the youth, providing mentorship that equips them not just for farming, but for leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
In every sense of the word, Z.H. Maikasuwa embodies patriotism—a man whose lifestyle reflects love for country, service to people, and dedication to progress. As Tarabans, we recognize and appreciate your sacrifices, your consistency, and your passion. And we extend special gratitude to His Excellency, the Governor, for identifying such a rare gem and giving him the platform to serve more effectively.
Long may your impact grow, Honorable Hassan Zanua Maikasuwa—the pride of Taraba’s agricultural renaissance.
