The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan on Friday inspected many ongoing projects as part of his oversight functions in his Yobe North Senatorial District.

From there the Senate President proceeded to the Umar Sulaiman College of Education, in Gashua, Bade Local Government Area to inspect the three Solar powered boreholes which are almost 90 percent completed and also commissioned a 1km campus road project with side drainages.
Lawan and his entourage stopped at the nearby Federal University, Gashua(FUGA) where he was conducted, by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Maimuna Waziri, round some ongoing projects including the school clinic, male hostels, sports complex and an ICT center being built by the National Information Technology Development Agency(NITDA).
The Senate President expressed his satisfaction at the quality and progress of work on the various projects.”We have come here to inspect the various projects, various interventions by the various Institutions of government for the Federal University, Gashua.”On the whole, I think I can say I’m fairly pleased.
It is an opportunity for us to make our contributions to the development of the communities and this is the essence of being a Senator or member of House of Representatives or member of State House of Assembly, just to go and inform the authourities at various levels that our Institutions or communities need this or they lack that and that they need the Federal government attention or State Government attention and so on.
“I’m very happy that the Federal government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari has been extremely caring for us in Yobe North. We’ve never had this better,” Lawan said.His final stop was at the construction site of the 36 Km Gosamu-Gogaram road in Jakusko Local Government Area in Yobe North.
At the construction site, the Senate President remarked: ” We are happy that this is happening now. We have been waiting for this road for long.”This is an opportunity we never had before. We don’t want to joke with this opportunity. We don’t want an abandoned project.”I am pleased with what I have seen. The quality of the job is good.” Senate president concluded.
