The Councillor representing Enjema Ward 3 in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nasiru Yahaya, has rehabilitated another borehole in his ward located at Aliboko-Inye in his ward.
The councillor told Arewa PUNCH that he bore all the expenses of the borehole rehabilitation from his December salary.
Our correspondent reports that this is the second borehole the Councillor will rehabilitate since his election during the last October 19, local government elections.
The borehole, which was managed by the community association, broke down about two years ago.
When contacted after the rehabilitation of the boreholes at Ogane-Inye and Ojuaka-Inye last month, the Councillor sent engineers to Aliboko-Inye to access the level of damage and what it would take to repair it to provide water for that part of his ward, especially for the festive period.
Mallam Yahaya further explained to Arewa PUNCH that
the report of the engineers indicated that the plant needed to be serviced and the replacement of the pumping machine along with the reconnection and laying of some broken pipes.
The councillor immediately released funds for the rehabilitation as soon as he received his salary for December.
In a remark after the rehabilitation, Mallam Yahaya said that what he was doing was not a show off but to do what he could within his own resources before drawing the attention of the Chairman of Ankpa Local Government , Engineer Ademu Muhammed Yahaya and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo to the numerous needs of his ward.
The Gago of Aliboko-Inye, Chief Damale, said his joy knew no bounds as he least expected that the Councillor would respond so quickly to repair works needed for the borehole.
He vowed that the residents of the area would be vigilant henceforth to protect the borehole from vandals.
Similarly, APC supporters from the community praised the Councillor for the gesture, saying that he has made them proud.
They said the rehabilitation of the borehole was an impetus for continued support for the party.
