Wednesday 29, September 2004 HOME | back to previous page Constituents commend senator over community projects By Adetutu Folasade-Koyi National Assembly Correspondent, Abuja   Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Umaru Ibrahim Tsauri, has been commended by his constituents for the numerous self-help projects already executed for his senatorial district. The commendation was made in Abuja last weekend by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Alhaji Iro Abu Saulawa, who led a delegation of PDP members on a thank-you visit to the legislator representing Katsina Central. Saulawa particularly praised Tsauri for his resolute stand on creation of local governments in the state and support of numerous communal development projects. Saulawa said the delegation decided on the visit to their representative because of the achievements recorded in the senatorial district, which he listed to include connecting eight local governments to the national grid, award of scholarships and purchase of JAMB and BATC forms for brilliant but indigent students, employment generation in the district and generally improving the living standard of his constituents by creating access for youths in the state to the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) Poverty Alleviation Programme. The delegation praised Tsauri for “sponsoring a bill on Farm Settlement and Youth Empowerment in the Senate, which has scaled the second reading in the House. The bill, when passed into law, hopes to boost the nation’s agricultural production and create market for agricultural commodities.” Saulawa expressed gratitude that Tsauri helped to actualise the Jibia and Zobe dams by ensuring that funds were allocated in the 2004 Appropriation for their completion. “Contrary to what some people may have in mind, Tsauri has emerged as the best senator ever produced or elected to represent Katsina State. He is indeed the champion of youths development and progress,” said Saulawa. Responding, Tsauri assured the delegation that the 11 local councils in his senatorial zone would each have a project to boast of as democracy dividend. Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
