…As Abbo joins verification committee as an observer, to Commission projects

To ensure transparency, accountability, and all-inclusiveness, Senator Ishaku Abbo, the youngest Senator, representing the northern senatorial zone of Adamawa state, northeast Nigeria, has joined the verification committee as an observer, to ensure that his constituents are adequately captured to benefit from the federal government’s entrepreneurial empowerment scheme; Artisans and Transportation Survival Fund Grant, ATSFG.

426 people are targeted to benefit from the scheme in the northern senatorial zone for which Abbo would not want any distraction, more especially, as he defected to the opposition party in the state and the ruling party at the national level; the APC.

PDP stakeholders in the zone are mostly tactfully decamping from the ruling PDP in the state, they are considered as having lost focus in terms of social security and welfare of the people in the zone.

It is a pointer that the PDP stakeholders are heading towards defection.

According to Sen Abbo, “Today we commenced data capture and verification of 426 people from my Senatorial District for the 2021/2022 Artisans and Transportation Survival Fund Grant scheme.
