BY Ndahi Marama
MAIDUGURI \u2014A group of farmers, under the aegis of Mallam Fatori Multi Purpose Society Union, has petitioned the Federal Government, urging government\u00a0 to\u00a0 stop the lingering crisis surrounding the construction of the proposed Kafin Zaki Dam in Bauchi State.<\/p>\n

The group, in a petition to President Goodluck Jonathan,\u00a0 claimed that \u201cthe construction of Kafin Zaki Dam is capable of rendering over 15 million people, who are predominantly farmers, jobless.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a petition\u00a0 by the chairman and secretary of the group, Alhaji Kyari Gambo and Alhaji Laminu Mustapha, respectively, the group appealed to the Federal Government to consider the negative impact that the construction of the Dam might cause the entire people of Jigawa, Yobe, Borno and the neighboring communities of Niger and Chad republics.<\/p>\n

They claimed that \u201cthe construction of the dam will only serve the interest of few individuals, adding that there is need for the Federal Government to intervene and save the socio-economic lives of the people of the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The farmers called on the Federal Government to construct 226 kilometres of roads linking Damasak-Gajiarm and Cross-Kauwa, Malam Fatori roads to ease the transportation problem of the people of the area.<\/p>\n

They lamented that \u201cMalam Fatori is the only local government in the country that is not linked with a tarred road despite its contributions to the economic development to the state and the country at large.\u201d<\/p>\n
