<p>The Senator representing Kano South Senatorial District, Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila, has said he has constructed more than 6,000 tube wells across the district as part of efforts to boost irrigation farming and improve the livelihoods of rural communities.</p><div class="59LZiqHe" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Sumaila disclosed this during an interactive session with members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Kano, organised to review his performance and assess the implementation of his campaign promises ahead of the 2027 general elections.</p>
<p>The interactive session, titled “Reviewing the 2023 Kano South Campaign Promises Ahead of 2027,” provided an opportunity for the senator to highlight what he described as key legislative interventions, constituency projects and community development initiatives undertaken since his election to the Senate.</p>
<p>Sumaila, who represents Kano South, described the district as the largest senatorial district in Nigeria, comprising 16 local government areas, and said the size of the constituency had made it necessary for him to focus on projects capable of directly improving the lives of constituents.</p><div class="KUKgnyV4" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The senator said the construction of more than 6,000 tube wells across Kano South was one of his major interventions, particularly because of the importance of irrigation to agricultural production in the largely agrarian communities of the district.</p>

<p>According to Sumaila, the tube wells were provided to expand access to water for irrigation and enable farmers to cultivate their land throughout the year, rather than depending solely on rainfall.</p>
<p>He said his interventions were not limited to irrigation infrastructure, stressing that his record since 2023 included a combination of legislative activities, educational projects, road interventions and other constituency development programmes.</p>
<p>Sumaila said he had unveiled a total of 102 projects and interventions since his election to the Senate, adding that the projects were spread across the 16 local government areas that make up Kano South.</p>
<p>The senator also highlighted his legislative efforts, saying that in 2023 he participated in efforts that led to the reversal of the concession of the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA).</p>
<p>He said he also sponsored a motion backing the resolution on constituency projects, which he described as an important mechanism for ensuring that elected representatives could attract development projects to their constituencies.</p>
<p>On foreign policy, Sumaila said he opposed any military intervention in the Niger Republic, arguing that Nigeria should prioritise diplomatic and peaceful solutions to regional political crises.</p>
<p>He also said he moved a motion calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war and the killings of civilians in Gaza, stressing the need for the protection of innocent civilians and respect for international humanitarian principles.</p>

<p>The senator said he sponsored a bill in 2024 seeking the creation of Tiga State, arguing that the proposed state would bring governance and development closer to the people in the affected areas.</p>
<p>Sumaila also said he sponsored a motion seeking an investigation into suspected budget padding and multiple overlapping budgets, stressing the need for greater transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.</p>
<p>He said he also moved a motion calling for the completion of the Kano-Maiduguri Road, with particular emphasis on the Wudil-Gaya axis, which he described as an important road corridor for Kano South and the wider region.</p>
<p>On the persistent farmer-herder conflict, Sumaila said he made contributions on the floor of the Senate towards finding lasting solutions to the crisis, particularly through measures aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence between farming and pastoral communities.</p>
<p>The senator said he also sponsored a bill seeking the establishment of a Federal University of Agriculture in Kura, Kano State, saying the institution would strengthen agricultural education, research and human capital development in the state.</p>
<p>Sumaila further disclosed that he sponsored a motion seeking stronger legislative action against drug abuse and trafficking, which he said had become a serious concern, particularly among young Nigerians.</p>
<p>He said he also moved a motion urging the Federal Government to condemn and investigate the killings of Kano indigenes in Uromi, Edo State, stressing the importance of ensuring accountability whenever lives were lost through violence.</p>
<p>The senator also listed among his legislative initiatives a bill seeking the establishment of a Federal College of Education (Special) in Karaye, saying the institution would expand access to teacher education and support the development of specialised education.</p>
<p>Sumaila said he had also moved a motion calling on the Senate to invite the service chiefs to brief lawmakers on the state of insecurity in the country and the measures being taken by security agencies to protect citizens.</p>
<p>Beyond legislative activities, the senator said his constituency interventions included educational infrastructure, road construction and support for students.</p>
<p>He disclosed that arrangements had also been made for the payment of student hostel rent, describing education as one of the key areas requiring sustained intervention to reduce the financial burden on students and their families.</p>
<p>Sumaila also listed the Rimi-to-Magami-to-Sumaila road project among the interventions associated with his representation, saying road infrastructure remained critical to the movement of people, agricultural produce and commercial activities across the district.</p>
<p>He further said classroom blocks had been constructed as part of his educational interventions, including the construction of six classrooms to improve the learning environment for pupils and students.</p>
<p>The senator also said he had undertaken the general renovation of Almajiri schools as part of efforts to improve facilities and create a better learning environment for children enrolled in the schools.</p>
<p>Sumaila said his record in the Senate and his constituency development initiatives should be the basis upon which his constituents assess his performance ahead of the 2027 elections.</p>
<p>“I want my constituents to re-elect me based on my performance,” Sumaila said, urging voters to evaluate his representation based on the projects delivered and legislative interventions made since he assumed office.</p>
<p>He said the interactive engagement with journalists was intended to provide the public with an opportunity to scrutinise his activities and compare his 2023 campaign promises with what had been achieved so far.</p>
<p>Sumaila added that he remained committed to representing the interests of Kano South at the National Assembly and ensuring that the district continued to benefit from government projects and interventions.</p>
