” Within my one year and half of representation, we have sunk motorized boreholes numbering about 140 across the district. We recently did a hundred million naira bursary for 1000 students in tertiary institutions. We have also empowered women cooperatives with another N100m. Presently we are expecting the deployment of transformers and solar street lights to be installed in different locations across the district. We also visited Kupa following a boat mishap. I donated another N10m as support to the community. I’m glad to let you know that through my personal donation of N23m, the collapsed Bridge in Kiri is nearing completion. I believe that our work will speak for us, Sen. Karimi said.
