Who I Am

I am David P. Kim. I grew up in Ban, a village in Barkin Ladi LGA, and my story is the story of this constituency. I am a development professional, a farmer, and an agribusiness entrepreneur who believes that the people of Barkin Ladi/Riyom deserve representation that listens first and acts with integrity.

Agriculture and Community Development

I lead Nevet AgroHub, a community-based sustainable agriculture and knowledge-transfer initiative. Through Nevet AgroHub, we work alongside farmers to improve practices, share knowledge, and build livelihoods that can sustain families and communities across the constituency.

Why I Am Seeking Legislative Office

I am seeking legislative office because I believe representation should be a partnership. Too much has been normalised for too long. I want to bring dignity, transparency, and relentless engagement to the work of representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom in the House of Representatives.
