In the annals of Ungoggo’s local governance, Engr. Ramat stands out as an exemplary leader, hailed as the greatest Chairman of all time. As he gracefully concludes his tenure, a wave of commendation surrounds him, particularly for his substantial exit marked by a monumental empowerment program.

Ramat showcased an exceptional demonstration of youth capacity in leadership, leaving an indelible mark on the local government. A leader’s true essence is reflected in the progress of those around him, he laid a solid foundation within his inner circle and close associates, by making them self-reliants.

His leadership was intricately woven around four pillars: Human Development, Infrastructure Development, Technology and Innovation, and Open and Inclusive Government.

Ramat orchestrated programs that lifted thousands from poverty and unemployment, prioritizing the well-being of the Ungoggo people. The landscape of Ungoggo transformed under his tenure, with significant strides in building essential infrastructures that enhanced the quality of life for the community.

A pioneer in addressing security challenges, Ramat introduced the groundbreaking “LURA” software, a technological marvel aimed at tackling insecurity in specific areas of Ungoggo. His commitment to innovation extended to the initiation of an Ungoggo-owned university, propelling education to new heights.

Ramat fostered a government that embraced openness and inclusivity, where the needs of the people were heard and addressed.

Notably, Engr. Ramat’s administration distinguished itself by being the first to institute a fully funded scholarship for Ungoggo indigenes, showcasing a dedication to education that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact.

His tenure witnessed the empowerment of thousands and the employment of many, solidifying his reputation as a leader with a genuine commitment to the well-being of his constituents. The people of Ungoggo, recognizing his selfless service and dedication to human capital development, affectionately referred to him as their governor, transcending the typical role of a local government chairman.

As Engr. Ramat bids farewell to his role, the trust, confidence, and accolades he has garnered locally and internationally serve as a testament to his promising future in politics. Ungoggo will undoubtedly miss this icon and leader par excellence, leaving a legacy that will resonate for generations to come.
