Neglected Communities cut across 3 Wards in Girei Local Government Area, Adamawa State have formerly presented their request to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for the construction/rehabilitation of Jabbi Lamba - Tambo- Bakopi and Ruwam Sami- Ngawa roads.
The communities further pleaded with the Governor to come to their aid by completing electrification projects initiated by erstwhile Governor Boni Haruna from Jambi Lamba-Jera Bonyo - Bakopi in the LGA.
The stakeholders from the communities led by the member representing Girei Constituency at the State House of Assembly, Hon. Muhammed Mutawali, Hon. Commissioner Ministry of Livestock, Hon. Usman Yahaya Diyajo, and the Executive Chairman Girei LGC, Hon. Judah Amisa pleaded with Fintiri to address the plight of their electorate.
According to the delegation, the communities cut across Jera Bonyo, Jera Bakari and Tambo wards year in year out vote for governments in power, but remained the most neglected in terms of infrastructure most especially road network and electricity.
Speaking while presenting the letter of request on behalf of the communities to the Commissioner Ministry of Rural Infrastructure and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Prambe for onward presentation to the Governor Fintiri, the Member representing Girei constituency, Hon. Muhammed Mutawali said that their request became necessary considering the plight of their teeming electorate spread across the wards.
Hon. Mutawali who is also the Minority Leader of the House of Assembly, told the Commissioner that his people are predominantly farmers and had difficulty transporting their farm produce from the communities to the cities due the deplorable condition of the 2 roads.
The Lawmaker posited that over the years the affected communities have been yearning for good roads to link them up with the headquarters of the LGC and the state capital but to no avail, and pleaded with the Commissioner to channel their complaint to Governor for intervention.
According to him, all the 2 roads which are in Jera Bakari Development Area connect 4 wards but mostly affected Jera Bonyo, Jera Bakari and Tambo wards, adding that constructing/ rehabilitating the roads will ease movement of goods and services, create employment opportunities for the unemployed youth.
Hon. Mutawali added that they have seen how the Governor is working in other communities; hence their resolution to come and formerly present their request on behalf of their teeming electorate, and appreciated the Commissioner for the opportunity given to them to come and present their request.
In his remarks, one of the Stakeholder and Commissioner Ministry of Livestock and AquaCulture, Hon. Usman Yahaya Diyajo, said that their people suffer a lot during rainy season, saying that they decided to come and plead with the Governor to address their suffering.
Baring his mind, the Executive Chairman Girei LGC, Hon. Judah Amisa, informed the Commissioner that that Jabbi Lamba-Tambo - Bakopi -road in particular connects 3 LGCs including Song, Demsa and Shelleng and that constructing/rehabilitating the road will significantly boost economic and agricultural activities not only in the LGCs but the entire state.
Hon. Judah pointed out that their people do not ply the roads most especially during rainy season due its condition, and pleaded with the Commissioner to extend their request to the Governor.
Responding, the Commissioner Ministry of Rural Infrastructure and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Prambe, thanked the stakeholders for the visit, and assured them of the present administration's readiness to come to their aid.
Hon. Prambe told them that Governor Fintiri knows the nook and crannies of the state, because according to him, he went round all the 226 wards when canvassing for votes, and that he has laudable programmes for the wards.
He asked them to prepare for their "thank you visit" because according to him, as far as Governor Fintiri is concerned, he will commence work on the roads as soon as possible, explaining that the present administration has people oriented policies and programmes for the state.
Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Prambe disclosed that it is only Mubi South LGA that has not benefited from the programmes of the ministry, assuring that plans are underway to kick start implementation of programmes ward by ward in the state.
