The recent budget allocation by Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has sparked concerns among citizens, particularly regarding the disproportionate allocation of funds. While a significant portion of ₦43.130 billion is earmarked for the construction of a new governor’s residence, high court, and house of assembly complex, only ₦10 billion is allocated for road construction. This disparity raises questions about the state's priorities and resource allocation strategy. It is disheartening to witness such a large sum allocated to luxurious infrastructure projects while essential infrastructure like roads receive comparatively meagre funding. This allocation pattern reflects a misplaced sense of priorities and neglect of critical needs in the state.

  By Usman Abdullahi Koli It is a trite tradition of life that after every hardship, there comes relief that makes people who underwent such difficult times regain their lost peace of mind. In fact, it is after the darkest hour of the night that the day breaks. In every democratic setting, there are a set of people destined to oversee the affairs of others. Some of them, after emerging victorious, return to the electorate and uplift them, while the majority relegate them to the background till the eve of another election. People should be wary of egocentric leaders and never waste their votes on them.   No one needs to be told about the economic hardship that Nigerians are going through. Unlike in the past when even average people could afford three square meals daily, pathetically, now they are ever busy trying hard to eat even once. However, most of the elected political office holders are there doing nothing about the situation; only a few remember the terrible conditi...
