Mr Dan Amos, member representing Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, has empowered no fewer than 3,000 members of his constituency with N400m.

Amos made the donation at an event in Sanga Local Government Area on Thursday to commemorate his second anniversary in office.

The lawmaker, who is the House Committee Chairman on House Services, explained that the initiative was intended to provide support and relief to his constituents.

He noted that the beneficiaries were picked across different strata of the communities, including students, youths, women, men, community leaders, artisans, and traders.

“3,000 people will receive N100,000 each, while 100 other persons will get N1 million each, making a total of N400m,” he stated.

He added that he had constructed 120 boreholes, installed 25 solar powered water systems and deployed over 2,000 streetlights among others across his constituency in the last one year.

“These efforts are about restoring dignity to rural life, easing the burden on women and children, and creating a foundation for inclusive development,” he noted.

He assured his constituents that he would continue to meet their yearnings and aspirations, in line with his campaign promises.

“As we step into the third year of our mandate, I rededicate myself to listen more, serve better, and work harder,” he said.

In his remarks, Chairman of the occasion, Kingsley Chinda, Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, described Amos as a dependable leader who had the best interest of his people at heart.

“Dan Amos is a blessing not only to his constituency but to the National Assembly and Nigeria as a whole.

“On behalf of the 10th Assembly, I want to thank the people of Jema’a and Sanga for giving us a man of impeccable character,” he added.

Chinda enjoined the beneficiaries to utilise the funds judiciously as well as emulate the lawmaker in carrying people around them along.

Other speakers, including the House Minority Whip, Ali Isah, and former Deputy Gov. of Kaduna State, Nuhu Bajoga, and an APC stalwart, Tanko Rossi lauded Amos for the initiative, describing the invaluable gesture as timely.

They called on other well-meaning individuals and politicians to emulate the lawmaker in providing succour to the downtrodden at this critical time.

Some of the beneficiaries applauded the lawmaker for empowering them with the cash support, saying they would use it to boost their businesses.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lawmaker had on Wednesday also distributed two trucks of fertiliser, 3,000 bags of rice and four tricycles to his constituents. (NAN)
