Bichi constituents have raised N28 million to purchase APC House of Representatives Form for the member representing the constituency, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Bichi.
This is in appreciation to the dividends of democracy the lawmaker has brought to the constituency, especially in his resolve to make education accessible for all the indigenes of the local government.
Individuals donated hugely at the fundraising ceremony organized by Hon. Abubakar Kabir Students Association (HAKASA) led by one Abubakar Mukhtar Ibrahim that took place Sunday at Haggagawa Primary School, Bichi Local Government Area.
Among the donors were a former SSG to the government of Kano State, Engr. Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, Sen. Barau I Jibril, the Chairman Bichi LGA, Prof. Yusuf Muhammad Sabo, Hon. Lawan Shehu Bichi, a lawmaker at Kano State House of Assembly.
Others were APC, chairman Kano North, Alh. Sani Mukaddas, Kano APC treasurer, Haj. Yardada Maikano, the 106 volunteer teachers he employed to teach science and mathematics at various secondary schools in the local government since 2020, and hundreds of streets sweepers he employed to keep Bichi streets clean, among others.
According to some of the constituents who spoke at the event, the decision became necessary considering how the rep improved the living condition of the people of Bichi.
They said from 2019 to date Abubakar Kabir sponsored more 5000 students of the local government to study at various universities and other high institutions of learning within and outside Kano State.
They added that the rep sponsored more than 500 indigenes of the local government to study in various science and Technical Schools in Kano State.
So far, more than N28 million was realized at the fundraising ceremony.
However, few months back the Federal College of Education Bichi conferred Fellow of Education on Hon. Abubakar Bichi in recognition of his scholarship programme.
