Abdullahi Balarabe Salame

Abdullahi Balarabe Salame (born 5 March 1961) is a Nigerian politician from Salame, Gwadabawa Local government, Sokoto State, Nigeria. He is a member of parliament for Gwadabawa and Illela constituency, at Federal House of Representatives under a platform of All Progressive Congress (APC) and is a chairman house committee on poverty alleviation. Quotes There are so many committees, one can make millions from, but I asked for a committee that will touch the lives of the masses and I was given the Poverty Alleviation Committee. Prior to now, no accountability was made for funds the government allocates for poverty alleviation, but since I assumed as chairman of the committee, 400,000 youths were given N-Power. And in my state, in each constituency, the women benefit from women’s grant. No fewer than 1,000 women have been given N20,000 each to start up a small business, while SMEDAN has also empowered youths and small scale businesses. I thank Almighty Allah for giving me the help and people like you that always advice, support me and appreciate what I have been doing. I believe I have achieved what I intended to achieve and will not contest in the next elections for a seat in the House of Representatives. I thank God we have this opportunity to appreciate Salame and say thank you and may God continue to give you the wisdom to forge better partnerships with the Executive and the Legislature. There are several bills to create a permanent body responsible for social intervention programmes in Nigeria and I believe the committee under him, will be the ones to scrutinise the bill and make recommendations for further legislative actions.
