Kashim Musa Tumsah: A visionary leader for Yobe State, by Muhammad Kukuri
Leadership is more than a title; it is about making a genuine difference, inspiring collective effort, and steering communities toward lasting progress. True leaders unite people of different backgrounds around a shared vision, especially when it comes to the challenges of governance. In times marked by division, choosing leaders based on competence and integrity — rather than ethnicity or religion — becomes even more vital. While we cannot change the past, the decisions we make today will shape a better future.
Kashim Musa Tumsah stands out as a symbol of unwavering dedication to Yobe State’s advancement. He emerges as a force for transformative change, ready to build on the solid foundation laid by Governor Mai Mala Buni, CON. With a rare combination of clear vision and steadfast determination, Tumsah is well-positioned to guide Yobe State toward greater achievements.

Protecting a leader’s vision is essential because it is deeply tied to the well-being of the people. Sound leadership provides the stability needed for growth and becomes a launchpad for social progress. Listening carefully, solving problems effectively, and encouraging active community participation are key traits that define this kind of leadership. Leaders like Tumsah understand that a clear and purposeful mission can strengthen social ties and steer communities toward shared success.
Of course, pushing for change often meets resistance. Yet, it is through such challenges that true leaders demonstrate resilience and commitment to their cause.
Tumsah has a clear understanding of the challenges facing his community and the insight to propose practical, workable solutions. He recognises the barriers that have long hindered Yobe’s growth and is committed to changing that narrative — diversifying the economy, attracting investment, and creating new opportunities for the people.
His impact is already visible, especially in education. One standout example is Tumsah’s sponsorship of a comprehensive three-day tutorial programme for students preparing for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams — a significant step toward boosting academic achievement and expanding access to quality education in Yobe.
Beyond education, Tumsah’s influence reaches many communities — including Dapchi, Turbangida, Matti, Umarari, Goniri, Mangari, Bayamari, Damaya, Ajiri, Garin Aduwa, Aji Dawari, Kaliyari, Harunari, Kakanderi, and Juluri — through his Light Up Yobe Initiative, which provides solar-powered water systems and street lighting. These projects aim to ensure access to clean water and modern infrastructure, especially in areas most in need.
Moreover, Tumsah is using digital technology to broaden educational opportunities, preparing the youth of Yobe State for a future filled with promise.
