Rep. Adamu Kamale of Madagali/Michika Federal Constituency on Saturday said that Madagali Local Government Area is the worst affected by insurgency in the state.
Kamale told newsmen on Saturday in Yola that Madagali is now a ghost of its former self and needed urgent government attention particularly in areas of more security and relief supply.
“The situation in Madagali calls for the attention of Mr President; in fact, the view of the people of Madagali is that the president will do them a favour by visiting the area to boost their morale and that of the military.
“Madagali is still experiencing sporadic attacks by the insurgents and needed urgent attention,” Kamale said.
He lauded the effort of the Presidential Committee on North East and other intervention groups for their effort in rebuilding areas affected in Adamawa, and called for priority to be given to Madagali.
“Madagali should have the highest percentage of any intervention coming to Adamawa, then Michika,” Kamale said.
The lawmaker said that sufficient funding was being expected in 2017 budget for rehabilitation and reconstruction work in North East.
While lauding the effort of the military and other security agencies in his constituency, Kamale urged the people to be more vigilant and security conscious, particularly during the yuletide period to forestall any danger.
“I want my people to comply with all security tips or advice given to them by the security regarding the festive period,” Kamale said. (NAN)
