Niger Gov Rebukes Bida LG Chairman over Non-Performance

Laleye Dipo in Minna

Niger State Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Umaru Bago, has expressed unhappiness over the non-performance of the Chairman of Bida Local Government Council Chairman Alhaji Bala Shaba since he was elected into office in 2022.

The governor showed his unhappiness with the chairman while addressing a stakeholders’ meeting in Bida town.

The  meeting was to round off his tour of local governments in the Niger South senatorial zone.

Bago lamented that in the two years that the chairman had been in office he has no project to show for the money being given to the council monthly.

The governor added that the chairman had cultivated the habit of not staying in his local government headquarters opting to stay in the state capital or gallivant around the country at the expense of the people that voted him into office.

He threatened to take drastic action against the chairman if he did not improve  on his performance.

The governor had earlier flagged off the construction of a 67 kilometer road in Kutigi LG where he praised the Chairman Alhaji Isah Mohammed for the rehabilitation of the local government  Secretariat.

Meanwhile Governor Bago has directed the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to “ double the monthly allocation for the local governments to enable them carryout more people- oriented projects in their localities.”
