The Kebbi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has strongly condemned the devastating bandit attack on Mera community in Augie Local Government Area, which tragically claimed the lives of 15 residents on Friday.
Usman Suru, the state chairman of the party, extended heartfelt condolences to the State Government, Argungu Emirate Council, and Augie Local Government Council, describing the incident as both shocking and unfortunate.
In light of this tragic event, the PDP has urged the State Government to reassess its priorities and redirect public resources away from what it terms “frivolous foreign trips” that have yielded minimal benefits for the state. Instead, the party advocates for investing in initiatives that create an environment conducive to attracting sustainable investments to Kebbi State.
The PDP suggests allocating funds towards:Establishing and Equipping Free Trade Zones. Developing International Border Markets. Reviving Industries at Bulasa Industrial Layout
By focusing on these initiatives, the party believes that the state government can foster long-term economic growth, stability, and employment opportunities for the people of Kebbi.
As armed banditry continues to plague Nigeria, communities are facing increased social risks, discouraged investment, and economic crisis. The PDP’s call to action emphasizes the need for meaningful and effective local investment to combat these challenges and promote sustainable development in Kebbi State.
