Ganduje Orders Lawmaker To Stop Constituency Project
AREWA AGENDA – The Kano State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has ordered a member representing Dawakin-Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency, Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe, to stop a road project in his constituency where the governor came from.
Mr. Ganduje is a Constituent of Mr. Jobe being from Dawakin Tofa Local Government.
The Rimingado-Gulu road has been dilapidated for over 30 years, despite its socio-economic importance to the potato-producing community of Gulu and other surrounding villages.
Against this background, the lawmaker brought the project to be executed under the Federal Ministry of Agric’s COVID-19 palliatives for rural development.
It was gathered that the governor wants to take credit for the execution of project despite the fact that the federal contractor has already moved to site.
