You can’t get federal projects without lobbying – Sen. Ignatius Longjan

The representative of Plateau South in the Senate, Ambassador
Ignatius Longjan, has said constituents should blame their
representatives for lack of federal projects in their areas,
because they failed to lobby for them.

The former Deputy Governor of Plateau State spoke with
journalists in Jos after his meeting with All Progressives Congress
leaders from the six councils in his zone.

Longjan said, “I have called a meeting to discuss with my people
and appreciate them for their sacrifices during the election and
also to get their input into what is to be done in the
constituency. From my experience in the past few months in the
National Assembly, I have come to realise that you can’t get
anything done in your state in terms of federal projects without
lobbying for them.”

The lawmaker said, “It is true that Governor Simon Lalong has
been very loyal to the head of the Federal Government and a lot of
things have been requested. The governor has been asking for the
reconstruction of the federal road from Jos to Abuja through
Akwanga because the road is completely dead. He has also made
efforts to get the attention of the Federal Government on the
Manchok Road, Saminaka-Kaduna road, upgrade of Jos airport, among
others.
