The newly built pavilion of Keffi Polo Ranch in Keffi Local Government headquarters of Nasarawa State, will be unveiled at the grand finale of this year’s Polo sports event on Sunday, November 30, 2025.
The ceremony is part of the many activities lined up for the successful hosting of this year’s 10th anniversary celebration of Keffi Polo Ranch sport activities.
The founder of Keffi Polo Ranch and Senator representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District, Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, said the core vision behind establishing the ranch in Keffi is “to leverage on polo to open up our state to the rest of the world.”
Senator Wadada, who proudly describes himself as a “horse rider,” said God has blessed him throughout his legislative journey—from the House of Representatives to the 10th Senate—prompting his desire to give back, not only to his former federal constituency or current senatorial district, but to the entire Nasarawa State.
He emphasized that this year’s event is dedicated to advancing education. In his words, “you know, this tournament is in support of education. The ranch has printed 130,000 exercise books, which will be delivered on Sunday to the 13 education secretaries in the state, under the supervision of the Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), as our contribution to educational development in the State.”
Expressing gratitude to God for the achievements recorded since the ranch’s establishment, Wadada noted that the 10th anniversary of the Keffi Polo Ranch is rooted in the spirit of giving back to society for the benefit of humanity. “This year’s tournament also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Emir of Keffi, Dr. Shehu Chindo Yamusa, on the throne. The motivation behind the tournaments is humanity — concern for the people, and giving back for the good of humanity.
According to him, 2025 Keffi Polo Ranch tournament is specifically focused on using the sport of polo as a platform to promote and support education within Nasarawa State and beyond.
Meanwhile Senator Ahmed Wadada has reaffirmed his intention to run for governor of Nasarawa State in 2027, declaring, by God’s grace, “I am the guy to beat come 2027.”
