When it comes to human capital development and youth empowerment, Rt. Hon. Kwamoti Bitrus Laori has demonstrated exceptional commitment through impactful and measurable initiatives.
He was the first lawmaker from Adamawa State to sponsor 103 constituents to meet the criteria for the NIRSAL/AGSMEIS loan scheme, resulting in 72 beneficiaries accessing a total of ₦206,182,990.00. Individual beneficiaries received between ₦1 million and ₦3 million to strengthen their agricultural ventures.
Rt. Hon. Kwamoti has consistently provided scholarships to underprivileged students at secondary, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels, including PhD programs, across various institutions. He has also equipped many students with laptop computers to enhance their academic performance.
In the area of skill acquisition, he has sponsored no fewer than 200 youths in diverse vocational fields such as shoemaking, tailoring, confectionery and bakery, and cosmetology. Each trainee receives startup support or financial assistance to expand existing businesses.
Over the years, he has empowered thousands of constituents through agricultural support programs, distributing water pumps, herbicides, fertilizers, grinding machines, salon kits, electric generators, and knapsack sprayers to boost productivity and livelihoods.
Rt. Hon. Kwamoti has also facilitated employment opportunities for many constituents in both the public and private sectors, including placements in the military and law enforcement services at both junior and officer cadres.
Concerned about recurring conflicts between farmers and pastoralists, he has, over the past three years, trained more than 600 stakeholders — including traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth and women leaders, and community representatives — in conflict prevention and resolution, early warning, mediation, alternative dispute resolution, restorative justice, and peacebuilding to serve as Volunteers/ Peace Advocates in the various localities. Each participant received a ₦100,000 to support community-based peace initiatives.
To further advance skills development, he facilitated the establishment of an extension center of the Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology in Numan — the second of its kind in the entire Northeast region.
Despite these achievements, Rt. Hon. Kwamoti has chosen to remain modest about his accomplishments. He believes that delivering meaningful service is a fundamental responsibility of elected office, not a platform for excessive publicity. This quiet dedication to service has earned him the reputation of a *“silent achiever* ” among his constituents.
