Communities commends quick intervention of Gov Bago on completion of a Bridge.
From Samson Alfa, Minna.
Encomium is showered on farmer Governor Umar Bago as the only Bridge at Gbangbagi linking many Communities destroyed by the flood recently in Lavun local government area was completed within five months following the Executive directive to the state Director General Rural Access and Agricultural marketing project (RAAMP).
It would be recalled that on the early hours of 26 of September 2024 after the heavy down pour the communities passing through the only road linking FAZHI and many other communities wake up and found were cut off.
We also gathered that the communities along BATATI, GBANGBAGI, to FAZHI were during the period faced with difficulties of having easy access to medical facility due to the absence of such facilities along the axis.
The village head of Gbangbagi, Mall Mohammed Ndana Mayaki,appreciates the prompt action taken by the Rural Access and Agricultural marketing project (RAAMP) a week after the flooding under the leadership of Farmer governor Umar Bago,”to my surprise just few days after it happened a team of engineers were already at the site.
“This singular act of prompt response by RAAMP officials makes us to believe that,we now have governor that have a listening years, particularly on the plight of rural dwellers,this is indirectly telling us that to whom much is given, much is expected.”the village head re-enphasised.
” We also remain greatfull to our own son of the soil a philanthropist,Barr Abraham Yisa Fazhi,who mediated on behalf of the Communities and the government for the quick response and the completion of the Bridge”
Other community leaders from,Dzunmbe,Kpatagi and Diko also spoke on the same vain, stated that they were dumbfounded noticing the arrival of equipments at the site few days after the flooding not knowing that farmer governor Bago is down to earth on his rural transformation agenda.
” Before now our thinking was how do we get who is to rehabilitate the bridge for us,particularly at this harsh economic environment,however we have nothing to say than to appreciate Governor’ Bago for his penchant love to the grassroots development of Niger state.”
Our Correspondent reports that the governor listens and act promptly for the betterment of the people devoid of any sentiment at any emergency,as he was described as a man who have passion for rural development.
Responding to the rural transformation drive of Governor Umar Bago,the state Director General RAAMP, Ambassador Nma Alfa, said the agenda is to discourage rural Urban drift, thus the need to embark on massive construction of rural roads in all the 25 local government areas of the state.
