PRESS RELEASE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF MEDIA, BASSA/JOS NORTH FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.

Our attention has been drawn to a recent Facebook video by Mr. "Osama Akpunono", in which he highlights certain infrastructural concerns within the Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency. While we appreciate his concern and advocacy for development, it is necessary to correct the misconception regarding the responsibilities of the Legislative and Executive Arms of Government.

To be clear, the construction of Roads falls under the purview of the Executive Arm- both at the State and Local Government Levels. The role of the Legislative Arm, which Hon. AMB. Daniel Asama Ago represents, primarily involves Lawmaking, Oversight, and Lobbying for projects that benefit Constituents.

Hon. Asama is fully aware of the poor state of roads in various parts of the constituency and has long been actively engaged in pushing for their construction. In fact, even before Osama’s video, Hon. Asama and other key Stakeholders had engaged both the Plateau State Government and the Federal Government on these issues. As a result of these efforts, the Plateau State Governor has agreed to commence the construction of these roads, with the project already gazetted at the Federal Level.

While we acknowledge and respect every citizen’s right to express their concerns, it is imperative that such advocacy be based on accurate facts. Misinformation and public indictments of officeholders without proper fact-checking can mislead the people and create unnecessary tensions. Constructive engagement, rather than incitement, is the most effective way to drive meaningful development.

We urge Osama and other content creators in Jos and Plateau State to verify information before making public statements that could misrepresent facts and mislead the public. Advocacy should be channeled through proper engagements with relevant officeholders, rather than through approaches that may be counterproductive to developmental efforts.

Hon. AMB. Daniel Asama remains fully committed to representing the people of Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that critical infrastructural and developmental needs are addressed.
