A life of service and solutions

Born and raised in Taraba State, Engr. Josiah Wukari Wasa understands the daily realities of our people — from the farmer in Zing to the student in Jalingo, the trader in Wukari, and the family in Sardauna. His engineering background has shaped a leadership style that values planning, measurable results, and honest execution.

He is not running to occupy an office; he is running to solve problems. From roads and electricity to healthcare and education, his administration will prioritize the basics that make life dignified and create the conditions for every Taraban to thrive.

Under the banner of the People's Redemption Party (PRP), he offers a fresh, people-centered alternative — a government that listens, works, and delivers.
