The members of the Northern Caucus in the House of Representatives have pledged N450 million worth of infrastructure at Tudun Biri where drone attacks killed many a week ago.
They announced the gesture when they visited Government House, Kaduna on Monday to commiserate with the government over the recent incident.
Credible News reports that earlier senators announced the donation of N109m being their salaries for the month of December to victims of the drone attack.
The 13 members, led by House Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, said that they were in Kaduna to condole and commiserate with the government and people of the state over the unfortunate incident.
Ado-Doguwa said they came to Kaduna with the absolute mandate of the Leader of the House, Speaker Tajuddeen Abbas, to identify and sympathize with the people of the state
“We are here on behalf of the entire members of the House of Representatives. What happened in Kaduna is an issue of concern to us.
“The Federal Government has done quite well for quickly responding to the unfortunate incident in the area of support that was announced on behalf of the President by the VP.”
Ado-Doguwa commended the Federal Government for its outright commitment in responding to the incident.
“It is our view as representatives of the people in the discharge of our duties as legislators.
‘That we will collectively and individually follow up the commitment of the government to ensure implementations to the conclusion,” he disclosed.
Ado-Doguwa said that the present administration was a government of commitment and responsibility, adding that they will also accelerate all government initiatives to the victims.
He listed the development projects to include classrooms, hospital and solar-powered boreholes for the affected community.
Ado-Doguwa explained that they would also construct a befitting police outpost, a community hall and access roads.
The leader also vowed that the house would liaise with the Federal Government to ensure that the unfortunate incident was thoroughly investigated to avoid its recurrence.
Ado-Doguwa also commended the Federal Government for its exemplary leadership and for taking prompt action in supporting the people.
He also commended Gov. Uba Sani for his leadership style and peace building process in the state.
Sani appreciated the members for finding time to extend their condolences for the tragic Tudun Biri bomb incident, which resulted in numerous casualties and injuries.
He also thanked them for emphasising the need for proper investigation into the incident
Sani said that they were on the same page on calling for justice for the people of Tudun Biri, saying, “the incident was as a result of carelessness of the security agencies.”
He called for speedy investigation and ensuring that those found culpable are made to face sanctions.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the delegation also visited the recuperating victims at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital and prayed for their quick recovery.
