Enjema Ward 3 Councillor, Nasiru Yahaya Utilizes Salary to Rehabilitates Another Borehole in Community »

The Councillor representing Enjema Ward 3 in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State, Hon. Nasiru Yahaya Lexo has rehabilitated another borehole in his ward from his December pay. The borehole which is located at Aliboko-Inye in his ward broke down about 2 years ago after being managed by the community association for sometimes.

When contacted after the rehabilitation of the ones at Ogane-Inye and Ojuaka-Inye last month, he sent engineers there to ascertain the level of damage and what it could take to repair it to provide water for the part of the community especially for the festive period. It was reported that the power plant was a Mikano Engine which battery was stolen and also needed two gallons of 4 litres Mobil Engine Oil and filters for service. For the water system it was also reported that the Sumo had gone bad and needed replacement with pipes to run the water into the overhead tank.

From what seemed like making sacrifices for community development every month, Hon. Nasiru Yahaya released fund for the rehabilitation immediately he received his salary for December thanks to the magnanimity of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo who paid early to ease the challenges of the festive season for workers.

In his comments after the rehabilitation, he said his action is not to show off but to do what he could within his own resources before drawing the attention of the workaholic Chairman of Ankpa Local Government Council, Hon. (Engr.) Ademu Muhammed Yahaya and development-friendly Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo to the numerous needs of his ward. He stressed that he should not take the complain of lack of water to them if what was needed was rehabilitation which he could take care of, noting that, he would rather do his best before taking matters like provision of new boreholes where they don’t have in the ward, control of erosions and rehabilitation of roads amongst other needs before them.

The Gago of that part of the ward, Mr. Damale expressed that his joy knew no bounds as he least expected that the Councillor could respond so quickly to repairing the borehole. He pledged that he and the youths of the area would be vigilant henceforth so that the borehole won’t get down anymore.

In like manner, APC party supporters from the community thanked the Councillor immensely, praising him that he had made them proud. They promised that the rehabilitation of the borehole was an impetus for continued support for the party.
