Bauchi communities seek govt intervention over 6 weeks power blackout

By Ahmed Ahmed

The Bauchi state government has been urgently urged to come to the rescue of communities in Sabon Layi and Birshi Gandu in the Yelwa Area due to the current security threat posed by a total blackout experienced in the area for the past month.

The community is situated at Rafin Zurfi, in the Miri District of Bauchi Local Government Area, and has been without electricity for over 30 days following the removal of the old transformer by the Jos Electricity Distribution Company.

The company had promised to repair the malfunctioning facility within a week but failed to fulfill its promise.

Mr Ayuba Habila Salem, the Chairman of the Birshi-Gandu Community Development Association, expressed concern while speaking to newsmen in an interview.

He stated that one transformer, especially an old one, was inadequate to supply the electricity needs of over 3,000 households with an estimated population of 10,000 people.

The Chairman of the Community, who submitted a letter written to the state Ministry of Power, Science, and Technology, mentioned that the association had no option but to request the government to assist with a new transformer, just as it had done for other communities in Bauchi.

Habila Salem also appealed to the state Ministry of Power, Science, and Technology to fulfill its promise, emphasizing that the month-long blackout had caused untold hardship to the residents of Sabon Layi Birshi Gandu, as the situation had paralyzed business activities within the community.

He further urged JEDCO to consider the financial loss in revenue the company will suffer during this period and the strain this blackout could put on the relationship between consumers of electricity services and the company if the repair of the old transformer is further delayed.

From Ahmad SAKA, Bauchi

With the support from Alive and Thrive the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Bauchi State have expressed their commitment to improve the quality of child feeding and maternal nutrition practices through various interventions in the state.

The Acting Executive Director at FACE-PaM, Mrs Dabis Mwalike, disclosed this to newsmen on Friday in Bauchi.Mwalike said CSOs with the support of a Non-Governmental Organisation Alive & Thrive are working to strengthen the system in the state.

She said they wanted to ensure adequate nourishment and care for pregnant women by optimal feeding from birth to a child’s second birthday.

“Our capacity was built on strengthening systems for maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN) in social and behaviour change, policy advocacy. “We learned strategic use of data thoughtfully for the sustainable scale-up of policies and programs that improve MIYCN in the state,” she said.

On his part, Mr Justin Nathaniel, Project officer, with the Women Empowerment Initiative of Nigeria (WEIN), said they embarked on a project promoting positive practices in communities through outreach by community volunteers.

“By Building the capacity of health providers to use data more effectively that will lead to better monitoring of service provision.

“That will also provide improvement efforts that address key gaps in the delivery of these critical MIYCN services in the communities of the State,” he said.

Nathaniel said the project emphasises on new efforts on early new-born care and adolescent nutrition to support existing MIYCN programming in the state.

“Helping governments create new MIYCN-friendly policies, such as maternity entitlement legislation for mothers to continue breastfeeding through extended maternity leave, “he said.

Another CSO, Mr Ibifumilola Paul of the Ace -Hi in Bauchi, said they had witnessed significant improvements in the quality of child feeding and maternal nutrition practices in the state.

He called on the government and other employers of labour to implement six months maternity leave and make the workplace conducive to enable mothers practice exclusive breastfeeding for their babies.

“If there is a crèche in the place of work or attached to the place of work or a breastfeeding place at a place of work, mothers can keep their child there.

“But when the child is so far away, you don’t know what is happening, the mother’s heart would not be at rest, she would be tense.

“That is why our emphasis on breast milk in the first six months of life contains all the necessary nutrients in quantity and quality that a child requires at this stage of life,” he said.

Paul commended the Alive and ThriveOrganisation for complementing the state government on improving MIYCN in six local communities of the state.
