Jigawa State House of Assembly Committee on Local Government Affairs has reminded the Roni Local Government Council of the need to construct two blocks of classrooms in nomadic schools, aimed at improving the living conditions of the Fulani community.
The Chairman of the committee who is the member representing Gwiwa Constituency, Alhaji Aminu Zakari, stated this at the end of a two day working visit in Roni local government council.
He explained that the provision for the construction of the classrooms in Nomadic schools was contained in the 2025 budgets of all local government councils.
He said hence forth all Vice Chairmen will serve as supervisory councillors heading water and sanitation departments of their respective local government councils.
Alhaji Aminu Zakari expressed satisfaction with adherence to administrative communication process between the executive and legislative council citing an example where Roni legislative council requested for list of capital projects in writing while the executive responded promptly.
Presenting the report of the sub-committee assigned to inspect capital projects executed by the Roni local government council from October 2024 to date, member representing Guri constituency, Alhaji Usman Abdullahi Tura Musari said the sub-committee has inspected the ongoing general renovation of six inherited lock up shops in Kazaure town where he praised the Chairman of the local council as the project would generate more revenue when completed.
The Sub-committee also inspected the renovation of Tuntube primary health center along with construction of toilets, construction of traditional sport ground, two market stall and cattle market at Dageji location in Sankau town and the construction of Round About at Roni Kan Hawa.
Usman Musari therefore commended the council Chairman Dr. Abba Ya’u for the payment of land compensation of Tuntube Primary Health Center which was not paid for more than fifteen years as well as his effort towards retrieval of farm lands encroached by farmers from Makoda local government area of Kano state.
Responding, the Chairman of Roni Local Government Council Dr. Abba Ya’u, said mechanisms would be put in place which will include meeting with the management staff for the proper implementation of the recommendations of the committee to further strengthen the development process of the area.
He described the two day visit as educative and encouraging rather than fault finding and witch-hunting.
Radio Nigeria reports that, other members of the committee include the Deputy Majority Leader who is the member representing Kaugama and that of Kiyawa, Buji and Kanya constituencies as well as two auditors and Assistant Secretary Malam Sadiq Muhammad.
