The Senator representing Jigawa North-West Senatorial zone, Babangida Husseini, has launched an erosion control project at Kore village in Garki local government area of Jigawa state, worth N1billion.
According to Senator Husseini, who sits on the Senate Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), the Federal Government has already approved and awarded the contract for the project.
He explaines that the project was in line with the FG’s drive to control ecological problems in rural and urban areas.
“This project is long overdue and is threatening the social and economic lives of the area.
“As you can see, the soil is landsliding, consuming farmland and residents’ homes.
“This is the way I made it possible at this time.
“This is part of my campaign promise.
“When I came here during my campaign days, the people complained about the problem.
“I saw it by myself. I promised them, and today you can see my and the federal government’s commitment.
“God Almighty willing, we will be celebrating the project completed and problem solved,” the Senator said.
He noted that, despite the project set to gulp a lot of funds, everything was set to fulfill the target set.
Husseini stressed that the contractor, who has been awarded the contract, has been mobilized to the site.
He went further to assure that the project is a priority, hence, work will begin in as soon as possible.
“We are representing the nation, and we are not just representing ourselves.
“But we are representing you people; you sent us there, and for that, I will do all for you people”, he stated.
