House Of Representatives Member Constructs ‘10 Deep Wells’ As Constituency Projects.

 


A member of the House of Representatives from Toro Federal Constituency of Bauchi state, Umar Muda Lawal says he is constructing 10 deep wells in some towns and villages in his constituency.

In a post on his verified Twitter account, Lawal said he embarked on the project based on the popular demand of his people.

This time we are going outside the box to construct 10 Deep wells in 10 rural towns and villages of Toro LGA. Because traditional wells are often more reliable and last longer than any modern small-scale water supply system. Most wells today are centuries old and still working.

“For someone that has to go as far as 10 kilometres to fetch water, a single well close could mean the world. You may not appreciate it but we can't stand and watch our people suffer. We are looking for ways to ameliorate their situation as we figure out a lasting solution,” the lawmaker tweeted.

In 2020, a group, Concerned Toro Youths passed a vote of no confidence on the lawmaker for poor representation since voted into office.

The coordinator of the group, Comrade Mallam Abdulrahman Abdullahi alleged that they were tired of Lawal’s inaccessibility, and ineffective and non-participation in legislative activities at the National Assembly. 

The group asked to know what the lawmaker had been doing there over the years.

They also blamed the lawmaker for not visiting his constituency since voted into office.

Looted COVID Palliatives Were Meant For Special Vulnerable Group – Kwara Govt

  The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added.
