  • The PRP said it firmly stood against this misguided expenditure and a return to put the needs of the people first. 

The Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has condemned the State Government’s proposal to spend N6 billion on an Oil and Gas Academy in Alkaleri.

This is contained in a statement signed by the State Secretary, Abdulazeez Haruna, on Wednesday.

The PRP described the proposal as a misallocation of resources, emphasizing that it neglects pressing issues in education and healthcare.

In a statement, the PRP expressed outrage, stating, “The PRP is compelled to express its outrage and utter dismay regarding the Bauchi State Government’s decision to allocate a staggering N6 billion for the construction of an Oil and Gas Academy.”

The party views the project as ill-conceived, highlighting the government’s disconnection from the people’s needs.

According to the PRP, “The idea of establishing an Oil and Gas Academy amid the glaring inadequacies plaguing our educational institutions and healthcare facilities is not only poorly conceived but also reflects a profound disconnect between the government and the everyday realities faced by the citizens of Bauchi State.”

The party questions the feasibility and necessity of the project, given the struggling state of schools and hospitals.

The PRP emphasized, “While our schools struggle with dilapidated infrastructure and inadequate teaching materials, and our hospitals remain under-resourced and ill-equipped, the present administration seems intent on funneling billions into a venture that, quite frankly, lacks both feasibility and necessity.”

The party also expressed skepticism about the Kolmani Oil Field, labeling it a “mirage” that has yet to materialize.

The PRP noted, “Let us be clear: the so-called Kolmani Oil Field, pitched as a transformative development for our state, is nothing more than a mirage—a dream that has yet to materialize.”

The party urged the government to prioritize critical sectors like education and healthcare.

According to the PRP, “It is troubling that the government would choose to prioritize such a venture while critical sectors like education and healthcare remain neglected. Children in both urban and rural communities are deprived of the quality education they deserve.”

The party emphasized the need for the government to focus on initiatives that yield tangible benefits for the people.

The PRP stated, “It is the unequivocal responsibility of any government to focus on initiatives that yield tangible benefits for its populace, rather than grandiose schemes that risk becoming yet another forgotten project added to our list of abandoned infrastructure.”

The party advised the government to redirect the N6 billion earmarked for the academy towards more pressing needs.

The PRP recommended, “The N6 billion earmarked for this academy could instead be directed towards repairing schools, supplying hospitals with essential resources, and developing other critical infrastructure that truly serves the needs of the people.”

The party called upon the Bauchi State Government to abandon the project and focus on rebuilding the state’s educational and healthcare systems.

The PRP urged, “We call upon the Bauchi State Government to abandon this misguided project and focus instead on rebuilding our educational and healthcare systems, as nothing is more valuable than investing in the future of our children and the health of our citizens.”

The party emphasized the need for accountability, transparency, and a renewed focus on the people’s needs.

The PRP concluded, “In conclusion, Bauchi State does not need an Oil and Gas Academy; we need actionable plans that invest in our future and improve the lives of every citizen.

The PRP, therefore, stands firmly against this misguided expenditure and calls for accountability, transparency, and a renewed focus on the people’s needs.”
