As Nigeria battles to check the spread of the dreaded Coronavirus diseases, Sen. Umaru Al-Makura (APC/Nasarawa South), has distributed 120 power generating sets to traditional rulers in his constituency to boost enlightenment in the rural areas.
“With the outbreak of the dreaded coronavirus in Nigeria, the generating sets will power public address systems to be used for mass enlightenment and sensitisation in rural communities that have no electricity,” he said.
According to AlMakura, local government offices of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would also benefit from the gesture.
He added that apart from the power generating sets being distributed, plans were underway for an economic empowerment scheme for his constituents where 2,000 beneficiaries would get N10,000 each.
AlMakura also revealed that he recently bought special books and other materials worth over N4 million for pupils at the Comprehensive Special School for the Physically Challenged in Lafia.
In his remarks, Gov Abdullahi Sule lauded the people-oriented disposition of Al-Makura routed through his various intervention programmes for his constituents.
He said that his administration was leveraging on Al-Makura’s legacies and would continue to do so for the benefit of the people and development of the state.
Represented by Sadiq Isah, Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Abdullahi said that the agency had concluded arrangements to construct two blocks of classrooms at Kwandere and Kanje Primary Schools to support Al-Makura’s constituency interventions.
