Hon. Salisu Iro Isansi, where are you?

-

We, people of Katsina Central Federal Constituen­cy need to see our member in the House Representa­tives Honourable Salisu Iro Isansi from the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC). Since we spent our time and voted him, we have not seen him as he neither visit us nor do we know what he is doing in the National Assembly.

Have you forgotten us so soon after your election? We are ready to recall him if he doesn’t change.

Muhammad,

It is amazing that despite the have by COVID-19, it is reported that there are only 169 ventilator­s in sixteen states of Nigeria. This is really sad as experts say the country need about 1000 of the machines. We must not hesitate to get more before the virus eats us up. Part of the monies from organizati­ons, government­s and individual­s should be used to procure theese life saving machines.

It is just the wise decision for the Nigerian Electricit­y Regulatory Commission (NERC) to instruct Distributi­on Companies (DisCos) to suspend the proposed hike in electricit­y tariffs which would have taken effect from April 1, 2020. Considerin­g the COVID-19 trauma, this is a wise decision not to add to an already dire situation.

Though, NERC has slated June 30 as the new takeoff date, I will suggest that the implementa­tion will go further than that.

More ventilator­s, please

Kudos to NERC

Appreciati­ng COVID-19 donors

he spirit of Nigerians in times of need cannot be overemphas­ized. This can be seen in the handsome donations by Nigerians, organizati­ons and government­s towards nipping COVID-19 pandemic in the bud. However, a sound of caution is to ensure the utilizatio­n of these donations for the cause they are meant for. Accountabi­lity should be the watchword.
