What ₦521.7m a month could pay for

That is what Gumel is allocated, on average, every month. Ask your chairman and councillors:

  1. Has Gumel received this money directly, or did it pass through the Jigawa State–LG joint account? How much actually arrived?
  2. Where is the council’s approved 2026 budget and its latest audited account?
  3. Which roads, health centres, schools or boreholes were built or repaired in the last 12 months, and at what cost?
  4. How much goes to salaries and how much to capital projects?
