Chairman of Buji Local Government Council, Arch. Najibullah Falalu Tukur has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda through the execution of infrastructure projects that enhance the social and economic well-being of the people.
Speaking in a telephone interview, Tukur said the council is actively awarding development projects in line with both Tinubu’s agenda and the 12-Point Agenda of Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi.
He disclosed that contracts have been awarded to reconnect 10 towns and villages to the national grid after more than 15 years of blackout.
Additionally, work has begun on the re-electrification of the Yayarin Tukur–Kafin Madaki power line, which was vandalised and abandoned for over a decade.
Tukur emphasized that the projects are part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to rehabilitate critical infrastructure, expand rural electrification, and drive socio-economic growth in Buji.
He further revealed that the council had earlier approved the reconnection of the Kwari–Nafara to the Gantsa power line, which supplies electricity to 10 communities.
