GAGDI TASKS FG TO REDEEM #10 BILLION PLEDGE TO VICTIMS OF PLATEAU ATTACKS, URGENTLY CONDUCT BYELECTION IN JOS NORTH/BASSA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.
The member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has today, tasked the federal government to make good its #10 billion pledge for the rehabilitation and relocation of victims of Plateau attacks, while charging INEC to conduct by election for the vacant sit of Jos North/Bassa federal Constituency with the view to restoring the voice of the people of the Constituency in the House of Representatives.
In a loaded motion of urgent public importance encompassing 6 prayers, bothering on the recent breach of the peace in Plateau state, the Chairman House Committee on Navy, has called on all humanitarian federal agencies to, as a matter of urgency, send relief materials to the victims of the recent attacks and ensure Plateau state enjoys all benefits accruing to victims of attacks in the northeast.
Presenting the motion on the floor of the house on Wednesday, 15th September, 2021, Gagdi said Plateau state has been underrepresented in the House of Representatives, with the demise of Hon. Haruna Maitala on 2nd April, 2021 as a result of a ghastly auto crash, and wondered why the electoral body is taking longer than necessary to fill the vacant seat, over five months after the demise of the last representative.
He said the vacancy of that seat has reduced the people of the Constituency to Orphans, who have no father to air their grievances, especially at this crisis period, when the people are killed in their numbers by blood thirsty killers.
In another development, Gagdi has presented a report on the bill for an act to establish Nigerian Maritime Trust Fund, a bill sponsored by him, that seeks to reposition the Nigerian Navy for optimum productivity.
