Following public outcry that greeted the donation of burial materials to constituents, the Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial district, Senator Rufai Hanga has on Monday cleared the air that the donation was not part of his constituency project but his personal will or donation.

Senator Hanga who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Kano, said before he became a Senator such donations were his habit as he inherited the tradition from his father who is fond of extending such kind of gesture to the bereaved families.

“The purchase of all the burial materials was done with my personal money, because it is a tradition I grew up witnessing with my father carrying it out. “So, because I knew that it is something that sometimes one might look down on, but the downtrodden are suffering performing this task because of lack of money, I decided to do it in all the 15 local government areas of my constituency”.

He said, “right now, as part of my constituency projects, we are building roads in about 10 local government areas. We are also building women centers in about 6 local Councils, this is after given the Women and Youths incentives of N20,000-N30,000 each to 5 selected Beneficiaries from the 15 local government areas.
