From Olanrewaju Lawal, Birnin Kebbi
A member of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, representing Argungu Constituency, Honourable Umar Na’amore, has expressed the satisfaction of his constituents over the N7.2 billion ongoing township road dualisation project in the area.
Na’amore stated this in Argungu while reacting to the allegation that substandard materials were used in the ongoing construction of the 6.4-kilometre Argungu dual carriageway.
According to him, “We are dismayed and dumbfounded by unexpected and unfounded allegation published by Sahara Reporters on March 18, alleging the use of substandard materials in the ongoing construction of 6.4-kilometer Argungu dual carriageway.
“To put the record straight and right, we, in Argungu LGA, have never had it so good as far as dividends of democracy are concerned under Gov. Idris.

“We are satisfied about the quality of the N7.2 billion Argungu dual carriageway, the already commissioned rehabilitated Argungu general hospital and ongoing construction of Mega School, among other projects in the area,” he said.
Na’amore explained that Gov. Idris had advised the assembly and people of the area, before the commencement of the projects, to ensure strict adherence to specifications and contractual agreements.
“I personally called on my constituents to put their eyes on all the projects ongoing in the area, we have not seen any foul play or usage of substandard materials in the execution of the projects in the area, and I wonder where the news outlet got its report,” he said.
The lawmaker, therefore, described the publication as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the hard-earned reputation of Gov. Idris’ giant strides in infrastructural development.
