National Assembly Member Paul Gowon Haruna faces criticism after donating a traditional well to Bassa/Dekina Federal constituency in Kogi State.
In a move aimed at addressing water scarcity, National Assembly Member Paul Gowon Haruna donated a traditional well to Bassa/Dekina Federal constituency. However, the gesture sparked controversy, with some constituents criticizing the project's scale and effectiveness, questioning its adequacy in modern times.
Haruna, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress and a former Kogi State House of Assembly member, faced backlash for what some residents perceived as inadequate representation. Despite Haruna's intentions, constituents expressed disappointment, citing the need for more substantial infrastructure projects to meet their basic needs effectively.
Critics argued that a traditional well falls short of addressing the region's water challenges, advocating for more modern solutions like mechanized hand pumps.
