EDUCATION 👇
Education being the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world ” according to Nelson Mandela” , shall remain the catalyst to develop our local government, as we know that qualitative and quantitative education can not be totally Free.
For this reason, our education system will be revitalized through provision of incentives that will cushion the economic hardships facing our people eg textbooks, customized notebooks, writing tools, and conducive working and learning environment for both pupils and teachers.
We will equally embark on the renovation and construction of new classroom blocks where needed.
We will embark on the construction of hygienic toilets for our pupils and teachers in all public primary schools across the local government.
Our Youths will be given proper and adequate mentorship that will prepare them for leadership roles, while exceptionally brilliant one’s among them will be given scholarship.
HEALTH 👇
There is a global saying that ” health is wealth” , as such we will ensure we adhere to the four letters of this saying , by encouraging Federal and State collaboration in the provision of Medical facilities, and provision of affordable health care services .
We commit to building cottage hospitals across our various communities, while existing ones will be given attention by renovation and focusing on maternal and child health to enhance overall well-being.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT👇
Women are vital in our community’s progress. We will give adequate empowerment to our Women “especially widow’s” , and the vulnerable among them, by creating Special cooperative societies that will give out collateral, and interest free loans to our women. Other initiatives will be extended to our market Women
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT👇
Empowering youth is crucial to our future. Youths will be given top priority, as we will establish modern-day vocational training centres across selected locations in Kabba and Bunu land , while successful trainees will be given empowerment tools to begin a new life.
We will equally use our influence to source for employment opportunities for the youths in federal government agencies
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT👇
Agriculture remains a cornerstone of our economy. Agriculture will be given special attention by encouraging both federal and state collaboration in achieving food sufficiency across the local government, as well as providing farmers with access to modern farming techniques, equipment, agricultural implements and markets.
We will encourage yearly agricultural exhibitions to boost agricultural production.
We will also embark on an aggressive follow-up on the agitation for the establishment of a University of Agriculture in Kabba. We will promote agro-based enterprises to enhance food security and create jobs.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF WELFARE👇
Knowing well the roles local government staff play in ensuring good governance, we appreciate that the welfareoflocalgovernmentstaff is essential for efficient service delivery. We pledge thar we will ensure that the good old days when their entitlements such as leave bonus,.and promotion allowances will be paid as when due will be brought back to life .
There will be training and retraining of staff, while training allowances will be paid to participating staff.
SECURITY👇
Knowing well that safety and security don’t just happen , they are products of collective consensus, and public investment as FREEDOM would be meaningless without security in the homes and the streets.
To this end , and being aware that one of the remote causes of insecurity is poverty, which creates a wide gulf between the rich and poor , inequitable allocation of resources, and injustice all make parties to resort to self-help, and subsequently take up arms against the State, and society.
In view of this, we will create an enabling environment for an all-inclusive security by all and sundry.
All hands will be on deck to create a synergy with the existing security structure , with emphasis on the local vigilante , as well as creating a robust collaboration with existing government security agencies eg Police, Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) , and the joint military patrol (JTF).
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT👇
We will initiate, sustain , and coordinate a comprehensive long term communuty-driven development plan for the local government, that will place emphasis on the needs and aspirations of our people such as renovation, and upgrading of.our market’s, and motor Parks by providing them with basic amenities eg boreholes, and standard hygienic toilet’s.
Road rehabilitation will be given adequate attention, as we will embark on the rehabilitation of deplorable roads while giving attention to all trunk C roads ” federal roads” across the local government.
New road networks will be opened to link emerging communities with other existing ones.
Motorized bore holes will be sunk in strategic locations across our various communities while collaborating with the state government to bring the moribund Kabba water works project back to life .
SPORTS 👇
There is an adage which says ” an idle mind is devil’s workshop or agent “, sports development will thereforebe a priority. We will ensure the construction of recreational centres across major towns in the local government. Fully aware that Sports is a veritable tool of empowerment , we will greatly encourage the development of Sports in our public primary and Secondary Schools, by giving them the needed support both morally and financially.
Our government will be actively involved in the annual sports meets of our academic institutions by encouraging public private partnership.
DELIVERY OF DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY👇
We are committed to ensuring transparency, accountability and responsiveness in governance. We will put in place a never seen before feedback mechanism, where our needs as a people will be discussed periodically, and solutions proffered collectively, as we will operate a functioning ICT offices to meet this crucial need across all Ward’s in the local government.
