Tofar Leda, a Town of 100 Years With Neither Chemist Nor Electricity

By Mahmud Shawai

The North West Awareness Foundation has discovered a Village in Kano, Tofar Leda in Warawa Local Government area with no single Chemist.

The delegates of Northwest Youth Awareness Foundation visited the town named Tofar Leda, under Warawa Local Government of Kano State.

On Visiting the Town they vividly discussed with the stakeholders of Tofar Leda and realized  Each and every human being must sympathize with the people residing in the town.

Some of the issues discovered by the foundation in the town of Tofar Leda and the most important items discussed are.

1. For more than 80 – 100 years of existence, the town never had a single chemist, let alone  Primary Health Care Center or Hospital.

2. The only school in the town has only two classrooms arranged in a single block.

Every single class accommodates more than 100 pupils with different age range.

The delegates of the North-West awareness Foundation couldn’t stay in the class at Tofar Leda for more than 2 minutes due to the smells and chaotic nature of the classes.

Electricity and other items of its ilk are Secondary issues needed by the folks.
