AMAC CHAIRMAN AND ONE AMONGST HIS WHITE ELEPHANT PROJECT

 By Ordinary Mohamed idris    

I never hesitate to praise or condemn politicians because I honestly believe that we have to keep track of leaders and ask them how they govern us. This is why I won't hesitate to write that I publicly, unreservedly and sincerely condemn one of Hon. Abdulahi Adamu white elephant project situated at karu ward of Abuja Municipal Area Council.

What appear from afar to be real is not actually real when one comes close and carefully scrutinize it genuiness. In the first coming of Hon. Abdullahi Candido, we saw how his tenure was characterize with make-believe projects.

As events unfold most of these projects cannot stand the test of time. And it is only the truth that can stand the test of time.

Among one of the white elephant projects is that of the skill acquisation centre (Yamaho Skill Acquisation Centre). As things stand now, the Skill acquisation centre is practically unworkable. Ever since putting this structure in place, how many youths in Karu can beat their chest and say "I have learnt a thing from the center"?

If the essence of putting in place the skill acquisation centre was to assist the youths in ensuring that they are engaged in self reliant, I wonder why has it not been effective?

With millions of Naira inflated to put the structure on ground yet the Skill acquisation is not well furnished. No lights, seat, no security just a mere hall.Thus, the skill acquisation centre is now a resting place for gamblers, itinerant and storage house for kiosk owners.

The truth is that the skill acquisation centre ought to be a means to an end. Sadly, it is an end in itself. If the skill acquisation centre had been well furnished and workable, it would have go a long way in curbing social vices amongst the youths.

So many paid e-social media warriors were singing and praising while the project is going on but none is there to evaluate and post the workability of the project.

I want to seize this very opportunity to draw the attention of the Chairman to look into the above subject matter and act with immediate effect before it causes more harm than good.
