Gov Bago announces $2bn poultry project for Bosso LGA

Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger State has announced that a $2 billion poultry will be constructed in Bosso Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Umaru Bago made the disclosure in Maikunkele, headquarters of Bosso Local Government Area, during his engagement with the stakeholders of the area in continuation of his statewide projects monitoring.

He said the construction of the poultry is in line with the livestock development initiative of the Federal Government, with Niger State as a pilot state.

The Governor, who enumerated the numerous road projects ongoing in Bosso Local Government Area, enjoined the people to continue to rally round the present administration to ensure success.

He specifically called on those whose properties are affected by the road construction to show understanding and move away from the properties to speed up the projects, while reassuring them that full compensation will be paid to them.

The Governor, who observed the increasing population in Bosso Local Government Area, said a General Hospital will be built to decongest the one in Minna and that the issue of electricity in Kodo will be looked into with a view to fixing it.

He applauded the Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, for his good work for the people of his constituency.

The Governor revealed that a mini stadium and skills acquisition centre will be constructed by the Senator in Bosso Local Government Area and that 20 people from the Council will benefit from his (Governor Umaru Bago’s) scholarship to Singapore.

He also appreciated the Member representing Bosso/Paikoro Federal Constituency, Hon. Baraje Yusuf Kure, for his support of the developmental strides of his administration.

Also speaking at the gathering, the Deputy Governor, Comrade Yakubu Garba, called for the continuous support of the people of Bosso Local Government and assured them of the commitment of the Bago-led administration in meeting their aspirations.

Niger East Senator, Mohammed Sani Musa, in his remarks, commended the Governor, emphasising that the administration of Umaru Bago has given priority to the people of Bosso Local Government Area, especially in terms of its agricultural policy as the Special Agro-industrial Processing Zone, which would create direct and indirect jobs, falls within the Council area.

The Member representing Bosso/Paikoro Federal Constituency, Hon. Baraje Yusuf Kure, said he will support the efforts of the state government with the sum of N1 billion, provide fertiliser and other farm inputs to farmers to improve agricultural productivity.

In their separate remarks, the Member representing Bosso Constituency at the State Assembly, Hon. Abubakar Suleiman Gomna, and the Chairman of Bosso Local Government Area, Ladidi Rakiya Bawa Bosso, appreciated the Governor for the people-oriented projects he is executing in the local government area and beyond.

They, however, appealed for the rehabilitation of Bosso Dam for improved water supply, more roads within the local government, a feeder road from Garatu to Beji, and the appointment of two Permanent Secretaries, among other requests, and assured him of the continued support of the people of Bosso for his administration.

The title of Dan Malikin Bosso was conferred on the Governor by the Hakimin Bosso, Alhaji Muazu Adamu Lakka, in recognition of his concern for the people of the local government area.
