I hope this letter finds you in good health and the best of moods. Let me start by acknowledging your commitment to open government partnership in calling for a town hall meeting to discuss the 2024 draft budget, as well as accept my inability to be there to make this passionate request in person, which necessitates this open letter. I am writing to you as a concerned stakeholder of Chikun local government, Kaduna State, to bring to your attention the dire situation of neglect that the constituency is currently facing.โฃ
โฃ
Chikun Constituency, despite its potential for economic growth and development, has been left behind when it comes to infrastructure and government presence. The 2024 budget allocations, as mentioned in the draft budget, clearly indicate a lack of adequate funding for Chikun's dilapidated condition, especially in terms of road construction and completion of abandoned road projects.โฃ
โฃ
We understand that the current administration is focusing on rural infrastructure and agricultural initiatives. While we appreciate the importance of rural development, we believe that neglecting the urban part of Chikun in the 2024 budget will cost us another year of economic setbacks. Chikun, being one of the four Kaduna Capital Territory Authorities, has been systematically sidelined in the urban renewal development of the previous administration, despite its urban status.โฃ
โฃ
One of the most pressing issues that Chikun faces is the presence of uncompleted and unattended road projects. These roads are crucial for opening up the constituency for economic investment and growth. Unfortunately, the absence of a representative in the Kaduna State House of Assembly has further exacerbated the situation, leaving Chikun without a voice to advocate for the completion of these projects in the 2024 budget.โฃ
โฃ
Your Excellency, we implore you to recognize the economic potential of Chikun Constituency and ensure equitable development across the four local government areas that make up the Kaduna Capital Territory. We request your urgent intervention in addressing the fate of the abandoned road projects and advocating for new ones that will connect Chikun to other urban areas and foster economic growth.โฃ
โฃ
By engaging with your people-centred administration and voicing our concerns, we believe that you can ensure our needs are addressed. We kindly request your support in prioritizing the development of Chikun Constituency, thereby bridging the gap between Chikun and other urban areas in Kaduna State.โฃ
โฃ
We understand that you have numerous responsibilities and challenges to address. However, we believe that by giving attention to Chikun's development, you will not only uplift the constituency but also contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of Kaduna State.โฃ
โฃ
Your Excellency, we humbly request a meeting with you and other relevant authorities to discuss the specific needs and challenges of Chikun Constituency. We believe that through constructive dialogue and collaboration, we can find solutions to the neglected road projects and ensure equitable development for Chikun.โฃ
โฃ
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We eagerly await your positive response and look forward to working together towards the development of Chikun Constituency.โฃ
โฃ
Yours sincerely,โฃ
