This is an investigative visit to the project, programs, and schemes sites instituted by elected public office holders, to ascertain their effectiveness and relevance to the communities at which the projects, programs, or schemes are sited.

Our Senior Correspondent, Mallam Musbahu Magayaki, visited sites at which developmental projects are sited by Hon. Umar Abdulkadir Sarki, House of Representative member, Katagun Federal Constituency.

Today, February 20, 2021, alongside two of Hon. Umar Abdulkadir Sarki’s foot soldiers, including some community people. We carried an investigative visit to some of the lawmaker developmental projects in order to see how effective and implemented the projects are.

We, however, began with the supervision of the newly constructed solar-powered borehole which is situated at Matsango. Our investigation reveals that this solar-powered borehole has not been part of his 2021 Zonal Intervention Projects. Rather, in his bid to tackle cholera through having safe water, he secured this capital project for his constituents in order to promote their health conditions.

Moreover, this project would alleviate people’s suffering from having to fetch water in distant places. Happily enough, the project was well constructed by the contractor and implemented.

Simultaneously, we rushed to the newly handed-over cottage hospital, which was part of his 2021 Zonal Intervention Projects and named after the late (Dr.) Muhammad Kabir Umar, the 11th Emir of Katagum. The project is situated on Sani Abacha Street and was well-built and implemented, as you can apparently see.

Most people interviewed, said, Hon. Umar Abdulkadir Sarki deserves to be commended and encouraged for the implementation of these projects, so as to stimulate him to redouble his efforts to bring more of such developmental projects to fruition. Many of the constituents pray for Allah to continue to guide him in carrying out his assigned responsibilities assiduously and impartially.
