Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, Prince Matthew Kolawole has condemned the burning down of public infrastructures that is constructed with public fund.
He said on no account should anyone destroy any constituency project facilitated by any of our representatives at both the state and national.
He noted that, it is the height of irresponsibility for anyone to embark on the callous vandalization of projects facilitated by Senator Dino Melaye in Lokoja the state capital.
The Speaker said it is barbaric for any right thinking fellow to deliberately burn down facilities meant for students to have a conducive learning environment.
He stressed that such hoodlums should be tracked down by security operatives and be made to face the full wrath of the law.
According to him, the four constituency projects vandalized and touched in attempts to raze at Government Girls’ secondary school, Sarkin Noma; Lokongoma Secondary School, Phase 1, and Adankolo Secondary school; all in Lokoja are attacks on the education sector of the state.
He said as a legislator, it will be painful to see projects facilitated through his office for the people being destroyed by some bad elements in the society.
He said Constituency projects are the means through which legislators, state or federal directly impact on the constituents and such projects put in place to serve the people should be protected.
Kolawole said the vandalization of the yet to be commissioned projects initiated by senator Dino Melaye, by
suspected hoodlums is shameful, condemnable and regrettable in all ramifications.
He called on the security agencies to live up to their responsibilities by providing adequate protection for citizens, their properties and infrastructures.
He called on the youths who indulge in such nefarious activities or allowed themselves to be used for such abominable activities to desist as the 6th Assembly under his watch would continue to collaborate with the Executive and other relevant agencies to checkmate every retrogressive act in the state.
