Hon. Yosi Lerum
Every sustainable venture begins with a vision. In fact, a life of impact is predicated on a vision that sets the path for deliberate actions and focused accomplishments.
The vision of Yosi Isaiah Lerum is simple- a hope and desire for a country where the gap between the “haves” and the “have not” is bridged. She wants a country where there is a fair share of the national resources, in that what belongs to the masses are delivered to them. A country where there is equality and equity, especially in the access of opportunities. It is on this that her life principles and pursuits are founded.
Yosi hails from So’o village in Leko Ward, Jada LGA of Adamawa State. She was born on the 6th of August, 1985 in Jada Local Government to the family of late Rt. Rev. Isaiah Isa lerumgomenso and Mama RauthaKaltumi Jekata.
