- The project has been met with criticism from some residents of the constituency
Paul Gowon Haruna, a member of the 10th National Assembly representing Bassa/Dekina Federal constituency and a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, has donated a traditional well to his constituency.
Haruna, a former member of the Kogi State House of Assembly, initiated the project as a gesture of goodwill to his constituents.
However, the project has been met with criticism from some residents of the constituency, who have expressed their disapproval of the initiative.
Speaking with SaharaReporters, one of them said, “This is a project from a House of Representatives member representing Dekina/Bassa Federal constituency, what a shame, not even a mechanised hand pump.”
Another resident said, “It’s glaring these politicians don’t rate us, a federal lawmaker constructing well and celebrating it as achievement.”
