Buba Commisions Federal Projects in Adamawa at the Behest of President Buhari

Adamawa Federal lawmaker for Gombi/ Hong Constituency at the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub has expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for his many developmental initiatives in the area.

The lawmaker also reassured the President of the continuous support of the people of his Constituency, saying their trust and votes for him in the last two elections were never misplaced.

Rt. Hon.Buba, who made this known, Sunday in his Constituency during the commissioning of some completed Federal projects domiciled in different parts of the Constituency on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari, promised the people that there were more things to be expected from the Buhari Administration.

The project commissioning, which had commenced from some completed Erosion and Flood Control sites along Bangshika-Gashaka Road in Hong Local Government Area of the Federal Constituency, also led to inspection visits to the construction site for Line Drain, Storm Water Drain and Cross Culverts at Tappare Ware Gombi, Gombi Local Government Area of the Constituency, where finishing touches and conformity to contract specifications by the contractor handling the project, Buba observed, were necessary considerations to be met before the project would be commissioned.

The Adamawa- born lawmaker, who is also Chairman, Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, also used the opportunity to flag-off construction activities at his nearly 90 Million Naira health facility Constituency project sited at the Gombi North area of his Constituency.

In order to also ensure that most of other ongoing projects he had brought from sundry sources were still ongoing and rightly on course, Hon.Buba, who as a member of the defunct Presidential Committee on Northeast Initiative ( PCNI), a precursor of the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC) had taken some Federal Government’s water projects that were being funded by the World Bank to some communities in his Constituency.

While commending the rate of work at the water projects, the lawmaker also interacted with Constituents and stakeholders over the newly- awarded more than 7 Billion Naira contract for the reconstruction of the Gombi-Biu Road.

Hon. Buba frowned at what he said was becoming a major pastime of officials of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing who, especially across the Northeast Zone, recklessly award road rehabilitation contracts with little or no resources to finance such projects.

While calling on the Ministry to desist from the practice, says it encourages corruption and site abandonment, the former Abuja- based entrepreneur and realtor, wondered why anyone would award an over 7 Billion Naira road reconstruction contract where just a paltry 100 Million Naira has been allocated to such a job in the operating budget.
