Bauchi LGA To Prioritise Projects
The newly elected Chairman of Dambam Local Area (LGA) of Bauchi State says Alhaji Warziri Ayuba, he will give priority to execution of projects which have direct impact on residents of the area.
Ayuba made this known in an interview with newsmen in Bauchi yesterday.
He said that solar powered boreholes would be constructed in the 16 electoral wards in the area, beginning with Yanda, Janda and Michika communities.
Ayuba noted that some communities in the council had been experiencing shortage of potable water hence the resolve of his administration to tackle the problem.
The chairman also said that feeder roads would be constructed to link Dambam town and surrounding villages.
According to him, all existing health facilities in the LGA will be renovated and provided with medical equipment and drugs.
“We will employ additional health personnel to man all our existing facilities,’’ he said.
The chairman solicited cooperation of the residents in the efforts to develop the area, adding “we are open to constructive criticisms and advice as we do not claim monopoly of wisdom.’’
