In an effort to promote activities of religious organizations in Adamawa state, the Senator representing, Adamawa Central in the National Assembly Sen. Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed (Binani) on Saturday distributed 4 eighteen seater brand new buses, seven seina buses, 30 ‘carry go tricycles’, 57 Bajaj tricycles and 87 boxer motorcycles to religious bodies and constituents.

Religious bodies that benefitted from the gesture are the Muslim Council Adamawa state, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Women Wing (CAN) and Federation of Muslim Women Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN) Adamawa state chapter.

Making the presentation in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, Sen. Binani said the buses were given to them so as to enhance their activities of promoting peaceful coexistence in the diverse multi religious communities in Adamawa state.

She tasked the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the buses, noting that no development could take place in atmosphere devoid of peace, while crisis, hunger will manifest.

“Today 30^th October, we are gathered here once again to witness the distribution of various categories of vehicles, ranging from brand new 18 seater buses, Seina Buses to other categories of vehicles ie “carry go” “Bajaj” and “Boxer Motorcycles” .

“These Buses are given to these organizations because of the importance attached to them and the activities they undertake in promoting peaceful coexistence in our diverse multi religious communities in Adamawa state as a whole.  I believe they will find it most useful in carrying out their activities in our dear state in mobilizing people and preaching the need for peaceful coexistence in the state.

“Next are the 7 Seina Buses, 30 “Carry Go” Tricycles; 57 Bajaj and 87 Boxer motor cycles to be distributed across the 7 Local Government Areas of Adamawa Central specifically as empowerment tools, in order to help people in my constituency to be meaningfully engaged,” Binani said.

The lawmaker maintains that the Tricycles and motorcycles would have multiplier effect in the society and ease transportation of goods and services to hinterlands.

“These vehicles would certainly be multiplier effect in the society, as it would not only improve and bring more ease in our transportation network in moving goods and people, it would also provide those involved with additional income for self-sustenance. That is the whole essence of empowerment.

“I urge you all to please use these items most judiciously and help the societies we live in to ease their difficulties,” she added.

Binani then reassured her constituents and people of Adamawa state as a whole that she will continue to provide more of such empowerment items and initiate more programs that would better the life better of the people.
