The Borno State Commissioner for Higher Education and aspirant for the house of representatives in 2019, Usman Jaha (Babawo) has revealed why he distributed kits with shoe polish, bags of oranges and other items to youths in Gwoza as part of his personal welfare programme.
Usman in a statement defending his decision, said he empowered the youths of the area based on their peculiar needs.
This is coming after some Nigerians criticised the commissioner’s decision.
Usman’s statement reads ”The programme is my personal effort and it is based on the peculiar needs of the beneficiaries in Gwoza.
“All communities have their needs and these needs change from time to time. In my years as a politician who served at the Borno State Assembly before becoming a Commissioner, I have always interacted with constituents before making any welfare intervention. I make interventions based on their peculiar needs.
“There are times people ask for a particular support and we don’t have the liberty of imposing our preferences. We support communities in all sectors that include education, vocational skills and businesses.
