In the heart of Adamawa State, Hon. Zakariya Dauda Nyampa, the dedicated representative of Michika/Madagali Federal Constituency in the Nigerian House of Representatives, is rewriting the narrative of leadership through unwavering commitment to his constituents.
With a focus on security, infrastructure, youth empowerment, and education, Nyampa’s transformative efforts are bringing renewed hope to communities long plagued by challenges.
Nyampa has placed security at the forefront of his agenda, recognizing it as the bedrock of progress. In a region scarred by insurgency, he has been a vocal advocate for robust government intervention to combat Boko Haram and restore stability.
Peace is non-negotiable. Our youth are not just the future; they are the present.
His support for initiatives aiding internally displaced persons (IDPs) and rebuilding devastated communities has provided a lifeline for thousands. “Peace is non-negotiable,” Nyampa declared during a recent community engagement, emphasizing his resolve to ensure safety for all.
Understanding that development hinges on infrastructure, Nyampa has championed projects to improve road networks, expand access to electricity, and upgrade healthcare facilities. His push for an airstrip in Kudzum Bazza town aims to boost economic activities in this strategic border region, connecting Michika/Madagali to broader markets.
These efforts are already enhancing the quality of life, with residents hailing improved access to essential services.
Nyampa’s vision for Michika/Madagali hinges on its youth, whom he sees as the engine of economic growth. Through vocational training, entrepreneurship programs, and cash grants for businesses, he has empowered over 400 constituents in fields like make-up, baking, and sesame farming.

His efforts ensure that children, especially in rural areas, have the opportunity to learn and thrive. “No child in Michika/Madagali should be denied the right to education,” Nyampa affirmed, pledging continued investment in classrooms and teachers.

In the House of Representatives, Nyampa’s contributions resonate beyond his constituency. He backed a motion to probe irregularities in government recruitment, advocating for transparency and merit to ensure fair opportunities for all Nigerians.
His emphasis on youth employment reflects a broader vision of economic inclusion, warning that joblessness fuels crime and instability. “Gainful employment for our youth is not just a policy—it’s a necessity,” he stated during a plenary session.

Elected in 2019 and re-elected in 2023 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nyampa’s journey from a local leader to a national legislator embodies service. His ability to connect with constituents—listening to their concerns and acting decisively—has earned him widespread admiration.
From supporting tax holidays to attract investors to Adamawa to calling for fire stations in high-risk communities, Nyampa’s legislative footprint is both practical and visionary.
As Michika/Madagali looks to a brighter future, Hon. Zakariya Nyampa stands as a tireless advocate for progress. His holistic approach—blending peacebuilding, infrastructure, empowerment, and education—offers a blueprint for sustainable development. For his constituents, Nyampa is more than a representative; he is a catalyst for change, proving that leadership, when rooted in empathy and action, can transform lives.
