He said elected officials from Gombe State had resolved to adopt a common stand in line with their campaign promises to better the lives of their respective constituents.

He added that in the last 10 months, the APC government had put in place measures that would help address socio-economic challenges and infrastructural decay, vowing to continue to pursue people-oriented policies for the benefit of the citizenry.

Yahaya commended Kumo for his empowerment initiative of distributing 120 each of motorcycles and sewing machines, power generation sets and cash donation to over 400 constituents as a start up capital for small scale businesses.

He noted that the items and cash grant, if properly handled and utilised by the beneficiaries, would no doubt have positive multiplier effect on their immediate communities and go a long way in improving their economy and reducing unemployment among the youths.

The governor urged other lawmakers to borrow a leaf from Kumo by initiating programmes that have direct bearing on the lives of their constituents.
Yahaya used the occasion to appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Assembly and the APC leadership for the laudable achievements recorded by the federal government in all facets of human endeavours.
