Senator Shehu Sani, has decried what he called ” serious hunger and poverty” ravaging Nigeria citizens under the Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n
He said the dip in the economy has made it\u00a0 difficult for average citizens to\u00a0 meet their basic needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that Nigerians are facing hunger, no money for school fees and no jobs,\u201d the senator said while addressing the residents of the area during the event tagged \u201cStreet Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sani, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, however blamed the hardship Nigerians on twisted economic policies .<\/p>\n
The lawmaker, who received complaints from residents about the terrible condition of the road leading to the area, poverty, joblessness and lack of portable drinking water, regretted the neglect of the community by government, noting that \u201cit is as if this community is not in Kaduna.\u201d<\/p>\n
He however assured the residents that the APC-controlled state government would redress the ugly situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it is not our (APC) fault. For the past 16 years, the PDP government did not do anything to you, but this present government will do something for your community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sani also told residents of the area, most of who are former workers of the numerous textile companies in Kaduna that the federal government had earmarked N50 billion to revive the moribund textile industries.<\/p>\n
He said during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan about N70 billion was given to some people he did not name to revive the textile industry but that they squandered the money.<\/p>\n
According to him, the current federal administration had already earmarked N50 billion to revive the textile sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
