Q9: My community has no reliable source of clean drinking water, and some families walk long distances or buy water every day. How will you provide sustainable clean water to communities like ours? Answer: My administration will launch a National Rural Water Supply Initiative, collaborating with state and local governments to drill solar-powered motorized boreholes and construct community water treatment plants. Q10: The water we drink and fish from is contaminated. What will you do to provide safe water and prevent people, especially children, from becoming sick? Answer: M policy strengthens water quality enforcement agencies, strictly penalizes industrial waste dumping in rivers, and distributes community point-of-use water purification systems to curb waterborne illnesses. Q11: Our community has poor drainage and waste disposal. What will you do to improve sanitation and prevent flooding and disease?

Answer: My strategy is to build master drainage systems in flood-prone areas, modernize municipal solid waste recycling, and channel Ecological Fund resources directly into local erosion control and sanitation programmes. Q12: Many communities depend on wells that dry up during the dry season. What is your plan for sustainable year-round water supply, particularly in rural areas? Answer: My administration will focus on deep-aquifer drilling, rainwater harvesting infrastructure, and small earth dams to store water for year-round domestic and agricultural use. Q13: We don't have reliable electricity in our community despite having poles and repeated promises. How will you make sure electricity actually reaches underserved communities? Answer: My plan is to move power distribution and generation off the exclusive federal list, empowering states and off-grid developers to directly connect and supply electricity to underserved areas.

Q44: Oil spills and pollution have destroyed farms, fishing and livelihoods in Niger Delta communities. How will you clean up affected areas, compensate communities and hold responsible oil companies accountable? Answer: My administration will accelerate the Ogoni cleanup, strictly enforce environmental restoration across all oil-producing areas, and apply strict "polluter pays" legal liabilities to non- compliant oil majors. Q45: Flooding and erosion are destroying farms, roads and homes in many communities. What is your national plan for managing these environmental and climate-related risks? Answer: My plan executes a National Flood and Erosion Management Plan that dredges the River Niger and River Benue, manages dam releases systematically, and directs the Ecological Fund straight to vulnerable communities. Q46: Illegal mining is polluting rivers and destroying farmland.

How will you regulate mining and balance oil and mineral development with environmental protection? Answer: My government will organize artisanal miners into formal cooperatives, deploy an expanded Mining Marshal corps to halt illegal sites, and enforce mandatory Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Q47: Women, widows and people living with disabilities often struggle to access finance, markets, employment and stable incomes. What specific support will your government provide to economically vulnerable Nigerians? Answer: My administration will dedicate a portion of the $10 billion MSME fundm which will be reserved for women-led enterprises and persons with disabilities (PWDs), combined with affirmative action quotas in government contract awards. Q48: What will your government do for children from extremely poor households who cannot afford adequate food, education or healthcare?

In January 2021, I made public the sale of my shares in Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited (Intels) to Orlean Investment Group, the parent company of Intels. The phased sale of those shares that commenced in 2018 peaked in December 2020. Intels also made public my exit from the oil and gas logistics company, meaning that a different entity now owns those shares I sold. My divestment from the company that I co-founded has not been reversed. Consequently, I cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be a beneficiary of the reinstatement of the boat pilotage monitoring business that was taken away from Intels by the Federal Government. Therefore, the insinuation that I am a beneficiary of the decision to rescind the cancellation of the contract between Intels and the Federal Government is untrue and should be seen for what it is: mischief. -AA https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/434955-how-atiku-sold-his-interests-in-intels-official.html?tztc=1

There's an urgent need for stricter monitoring and regulation of mining activities, particularly in areas dominated by artisanal operations. Nigeria must strengthen health, safety, and environmental standards while also ensuring that miners receive proper training, equipment, and support to reduce risks. In addition, there should be well-coordinated emergency response mechanisms with faster reaction times and adequate resources to save lives when disasters occur. I call on the federal government, the Zamfara State Government, agencies such as the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, and other stakeholders to collaborate urgently. The task at hand is to rescue those still trapped, provide immediate relief to victims and their families, and ensure that lessons are learnt to avert such tragedies. -AA
