Jauro Musa is a quarter in Kumo, Gombe State, in  the northeastern part of the town. There are hundreds of households in the area. But with the exception of a culvert and the one road that crossed the area there’s no single project that was executed in the area since 1999. 

The Jauro Musa culvert-road link Kandahar, Anguwan Direbobi, New Jauro Tukur, Garin Alkali, as well as Jauro Tukur-Kalshingi road which was completed by your administration immediately after you resumed office in 2019.

The major problem of Jauro Musa community for over two decades is that, there is a drainage which crossed at the backside of the area and eroded more than 50 houses and is now heading to their only primary school. The primary school was built by the community. 

The Jauro Musa primary school serves as the centre for the whole community. It is used as polling station during elections. In the 2019 general elections they thumbed and gave the highest votes to all candidates for the All Progressives Congress (APC) than any unit in Kumo. 

Countless times, an elite group in that community had complained to those that are working for us from the local level up to state level. Recently, they wrote a letter of complaint to their member who represents Akko Central in the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Abubakar Muhammad Luggerewo, who is also the Speaker of the assembly. Unfortunately, he is yet to act on the complaint. 

We have seen the administration of three governors still we experience the same problem.  

I recall that you had pledged to pririotise provision of basic amenities to people during your tenure as governor of our dear state. 

I noticed that you have so far kept that promise and we sincerely hope that you will extend this good gesture to the people of  Jauro community. 

We will be very happy if Your Excellency will address this our long suffering.
