Shaku told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday on telephone that all social infrastructure within the council were also damaged.<\/p>\n
He explained that \u201cover 20 schools, 23 markets and 13 primary health clinics remain shut, following the continuous activities of criminal elements<\/p>\n
in the local government.<\/p>\n
\u201cA total of eight council wards are badly affected too.<\/p>\n
\u201cInsecurity in the area has been challenging. Agriculture, which is the major source of our livelihood, is greatly affected because of so many challenges at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
He, however, said that his administration would focus on rebuilding, rehabilitating and resuscitating all the broken economic sectors within the council.<\/p>\n
He said he would focus on health, education, roads, agriculture and security, to boost the council\u2019s economy, \u201cand to ensure that the schools are back to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaku, who said that the council secretariat is an eyesore, added that \u201cit requires total rebuilding.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that with the Supreme Court judgment granting autonomy to local governments, he is set to rebuild the decayed infrastructure within the council and strive to deliver on his campaign promises.<\/p>\n
