While commending Nigerians for keeping democracy afloat since 1999, the Speaker praised the administration of Governor Babagana Zulum for its achievements in public infrastructure, healthcare delivery, education, and IDP management. The Speaker said due to the lack of access to his constituency, the area cannot benefit from the developmental projects undertaken by the state government.
“Up till now, Kukawa town of Kukawa Local Government Area is still not safe because there has been no military presence there for months. The same thing applies to Abadam Local Government headquarters. Our people have no access to their farms and other sources of livelihood. We are in dire need of help,” he added.
“I want to assure the Speaker that we are on top of the situation as the government has set up a high-powered committee to see that the people of Guzamala are safely returned to their homes before the end of this administration,” he said.
