Ningi Emirate decries exclusion in projects execution


The Ningi Emirate of Bauchi State has decried the total exclusion of the areas in the recent flag-off of roads execution in some emirates in the state.

This was just as the emirate has appealed to Governor Mohammed Abubakar to award similar contract least they will believe that they are culpably neglected by the present APC administration and past successive governments in the state.

The Emirate Association Chairman, Yusuf Yunusa while addressing journalists in Bauchi at weekend said, the emirate produced the second largest number of votes cast in the 2015 elections after Toro to install the now much acclaimed ‘popular’ government in the state.

The association which is under unified 25 civil society organizations from Ningi and Warji Local Government Areas had faulted the present APC administration of lopsidedness in the allocation of development projects for the citizens.

The chairman cited an example with last week’s flagged-off of about twenty different roads reconstruction across the state to the exclusion of Ningi emirate.

“Last week, Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar flagged-off roads reconstruction in Bauchi, Katagum, Misau, Jama’are emirates, but not even a single road was mention for reconstruction in Ningi emirate”, he said.

He therefore appealed to Governor Mohammed Abubakar to reconsider the allocation of roads construction in the state with a view to including Ningi emirate that has deplorable roads Alhaji Yusuf Yunusa observed that if development projects in the state could be executed in phases, Ningi is supposed to be in the first phase as population of the emirate is the second after Bauchi.

Yunusa wondered what criteria was used in the selection of roads for reconstruction in the five existing emirates in the state, saying their inquiries with the state APC chairman, and commissioner for economic planning as representatives of Ningi emirate in the government as to the neglect of the emirate were nothing to write home about”.

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world.   Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...
