Lawmakers, traditional leaders seek urgent relief and long-term solutions for Bassa communities
The unfortunate flooding incident that devastated many communities in Pengana, Bassa Local Government Area, has left residents traumatized and in dire need of assistance. Hon. Amb. Daniel Asama Ago, Member of the House of Representatives for Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency, has expressed deep sympathy for those affected, while renewing his call for urgent aid and sustainable interventions at both State and Federal levels.
Hon. Ago, accompanied by key stakeholders and his National Assembly team, embarked on a fact-finding mission to the affected areas. During the visit, he paid homage to His Royal Highness, the Ogomo Pengana, Esau Mamman Shayang, and the District Head of Lemoro, His Royal Highness, the Ogomo Lemoro, Musa Dabo. He noted that the conversations with traditional leaders and residents were frank, heartfelt, and focused on finding lasting solutions to ease the suffering of the communities.
“As the representative of the good people of Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency, I remain steadfast in advocating for their best interest,” he said, adding that the discussions yielded strong resolutions. He pledged to synergize with the Executive Arm of Government to provide robust social amenities, particularly in public infrastructure, that would serve as long-term safeguards.
The lawmaker further called on the public to embrace environmental consciousness as a collective responsibility to avert future disasters. He equally urged the government and relevant agencies to provide immediate relief and life-succor interventions to cushion the hardship faced by the people in the wake of the flooding.
“Together, we can heal, rebuild, and safeguard our future,” Hon. Ago emphasized.
