Spokesman of the community, Mr. Iliya Musa, urged the present the current leadership of the Council to deem it necessary to focus on the rapid infrastructural development of the community.

He however lament that the present leadership of the council had not carried out any development project in the area since the coming of the administration in May, 2013.

He said the road leading to the community from Kwaita is still in deplorable state, pointing out that people of the community are yet to feel the positive impact of the council.
