In order to discourage the continued practice of open defecation in communities of Plateau State, Senator representing Plateau South, Professor Nora Ladi Dadu’ut has provided sanitary facilities like boreholes and toilets in some schools in her constituency.
Senator Dadu’ut, who commissioned some projects she executed across the six local government areas of Plateau South, said she took special interest in the sanitary facilities because it would curb the degradation of the environment and also encourage girl-child education.
Dadu’ut, who is a Professor of French Language, also expressed her passion in early child education, saying that is what prompted her to embark on building of classrooms in some primary schools, equipping them with desks and providing exercise books to the pupils to encourage enrolment.
The senator, who went round some projects in Qua’an Pan, Shendam and Mikang local government areas, said, “I have the zeal to help my constituency, particularly the youths and women. As you can see, I started commissioning blocks of classrooms because we need to invest in the young ones. They are our future, our leaders.
“From there, I went to commission a motorised hand borehole because water is life and the provision of water will impact many lives positively. We also commissioned toilets facilities to keep our environment clean within the schools and within the communities.
According to her, “Over 5,000 youths and women were empowered in my senatorial district on various productive skills, while 1000 people had also benefitted from such gesture during the COVID-19 hardship period, where N60,000 was given to each to cushion the effect.
She also explained that over 20 youths in Plateau South Senatorial District have been trained and empowered in Information and Computer Technology (ICT) to make them self-sufficient and expose their abilities to the outside world.
She said the street lights commissioned will also curb the challenges of insecurity, and called on her constituents to continue to live in peace.
