Abdulhamid Yahaya Abba, SSA to President Tinubu, Provides Water Relief to Bauchi Residents

Photos of Abdulhamid Yahaya Abba, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement for the North East Region, distributing water to Bauchi LGA residents via a tanker, have sparked outrage.

The images show community members lining up with buckets to fetch water, which many Nigerians found disturbing.

Social media users are questioning why Abba chose a temporary solution instead of funding a borehole for sustainable access to clean water. Critics argue that this approach highlights the government’s failure to provide basic infrastructure.

Residents expressed frustration, stating they need a permanent water supply, not periodic tanker distributions.

This incident has raised concerns about the government’s priorities and effectiveness in addressing basic needs. Abba’s efforts, although well-intentioned, may be seen as a short-term fix rather than a long-term solution.

As a presidential aide focused on community engagement, Abba’s initiatives should prioritize sustainable development and infrastructure.
