Good Governance: Local Government Councillor Empowers Constituents with Charcoal and Local Pressing Irons
In a practical demonstration of grassroots leadership and people-oriented governance, a councillor in Zamfara State, Hon. Tahir, has taken a bold step to support his constituents by distributing charcoal and locally made pressing irons to households within his ward.
The empowerment initiative, which took place amid growing economic challenges across the country, was designed to cushion the hardship faced by vulnerable families and small-scale entrepreneurs who rely on charcoal-powered pressing irons for their daily livelihood.

Speaking during the distribution exercise, Hon. Tahir noted that leadership at the grassroots level must be responsive, practical, and impactful. According to him, governance is not only about policy-making but about identifying the immediate needs of the people and providing timely solutions.
“Our people are facing economic difficulties, and as their representative, it is my responsibility to stand with them in practical ways. These items may appear simple, but they are tools of survival for many households. They can support small businesses, tailors, laundry operators, and families who depend on charcoal irons for daily use,” he stated.

Beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the gesture, describing it as thoughtful and timely. Some recipients noted that the support would help reduce daily expenses and provide an opportunity to generate income, especially for women and youths engaged in small-scale laundry and tailoring services.
Community leaders present at the event commended the councillor for prioritizing the welfare of his constituents, describing the initiative as a reflection of responsive and accountable leadership at the local government level.
Political observers have also described the move as an example of how grassroots representatives can make meaningful impacts through simple but strategic interventions that directly address the needs of the people.
As calls for good governance continue to grow across Nigeria, Hon. Tahir’s empowerment programme stands as a reminder that leadership begins at the grassroots — where small actions can create significant change in the lives of ordinary citizens.
