00:28:02in news this hour, Mr. Bright,
00:28:04affair. Moving on now in the
00:28:08news, the Zanvara state government has denied
00:28:11allegations leveled against it by the C chapter the interparty
00:28:15advisory council of Nigeria, that government
00:28:19filled to adequately address security and economic challenges,
00:28:22awarding contracts to non-indigens as well as uneven
00:28:26distribution of projects and delays in the distribution
00:28:30of fertilizers to farmers. The government says these
00:28:34allegations do not reflect the realities on the ground,
00:28:37Theophilus Darufar reports. Security,
00:28:41economic, growth and agriculture are key components the six points Agenda of
00:28:45Governor Lawal's administration in Zamfor state. The government
00:28:49says it remains committed to restoring lasting peace across the state and improving
00:28:53the livelihoods of residents, but the interparty advisory
00:28:57council of Nigeria Ipark in Zanfara is questioning the government's
00:29:00performance particularly in the area. of security and
00:29:03agriculture. the council also raises concerns over the
00:29:07distribution of fertilizer to farmers and the implementation of development
00:29:10projects across the state. responding to the allegations, the senior
00:29:14special assistance to governor and broadcast media, mustafa
00:29:18Jafarra dismisses the claims insisting the
00:29:21administration continues to give pariority to security, agriculture and
00:29:25economic development. doubt it much if there is any
00:29:29governor that attaches high premium on the security issue. moreden
00:29:33governor someone that did not make any compromise for
00:29:37dialogue with the bands, some someone that empowers the locals to
00:29:40defend themselves, cannot be accused of not showing concern about the
00:29:44issue of insecurity, probably ipark you know try
00:29:48to you know overstept itself by maybe saying
00:29:52government delayd in the supply the fertilizer uh government that is
00:29:56supplying fertilizer free to during dry season farming during what season
00:30:00farming in the last three to four years now uh cannot be
00:30:03accused of delaying the supply of fertilizers. i park also alleges that
00:30:07government projects are concentrated in gusou the steel capital while
00:30:11questioning the award of some contracts to non indigens. in the real
00:30:15sense if you are talking of sophistication nature of a international
00:30:18airport. i don't think that there is any indigenous contractor that can handle the
00:30:22issue of international airport. you see this is what i'm saying,
00:30:26either ipark are just want to make a cheap
00:30:29blackmail on governor Dr. you have to give
00:30:32it to a standard contractor, an international contractor with international
00:30:36refuge for that matter for him to do the issue of
00:30:40international airport, but when it comes to the local contractors, i
00:30:43that it if there is any contractor in the state who is competent
00:30:47that has not been given contract in zanfar state.
00:30:51the zanforestate government says development project to be extended across
00:30:55the 14 local government areas based on the specific needs and priorities of
00:30:59each community.
