Leadership is the capacity to translate a vision in to reality, a leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Respected El-Rufai, Mohammed Bello was born on January 11, 1988. He is a politician, businessman, and philanthropist. He graduated from Wheaton College in Massachusetts with a B.Sc. with a major in political science and international relations and a minor in religious studies. He is a United World College (UWC) Scholar.
In 2015, Georgetown University awarded Honorable Bello El-Rufai an M.Sc. in Public Relations & Corporate Communications. In 2015, he finished his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) with the Good Governance Group (3G), a political pressure group.
Along with Hafiz Bayero, who serves as the governor of Kaduna State’s senior advisor and counselor, and Mukhtar Baloni, who chairs the Kaduna North Local Government, he co-founded the Rescue Kaduna Group (RKG) Political Action Committee during the 2015 general elections. His work earned him the position of Director of Youth Mobilization for the Buhari Campaign Organization (BCO) in the run-up to the general elections of 2015.
On the advice of well-known businessman and philanthropist Hakeem Belo Osagie, Huawei Nigeria appointed Honorable Bello El-Rufai as a Manager.
Before leaving the private sector to work with Senator Uba Sani in the 9th National Assembly, he spent four years working in the Enterprise Business Unit. The 35-year-old Bello was chosen by the Senator, who is also the governor of Kaduna State, to be his chief of staff and senior legislative assistant.
Bello had a key role in creating an effective, creative, and productive system in the senator’s office as the youngest Senior Legislative Aide in the Senate.
The method made sure that the Kaduna constituency offices, the committee clerk’s office, and the senator’s office worked together harmoniously. Because the technique was so different and useful for legislative representation, other ranking senators copied it.
As a result, the freshman senator filed 32 legislation, a record amount, three of which were signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.
He won the House of Representatives seat for the Kaduna North Federal Constituency on February 27, 2023, by defeating the two-term serving member and the previous chairman of the Kaduna North Local Government Area. He is the creator of the Hamza El-Rufai Foundation (HELF) and a board member of the Yasmin El-Rufai Foundation (YELF).
Hon. Bello Elrufa’i is the Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Regulations, Federal House of Representatives, 10th Assembly. This young man become the topic of discussion not only in Kaduna State but also at the Green Chamber, because of his dedication, integrity, tolerance and sincererity to everyone.
He is performing wonders for his constituent, and Kaduna at large. He is smart and passionate like his father. I see him as a president in the future.
