Residents Of Jenta Mangoro Jos North Protest Bad Road/Water
The residents of Jenta mangoro, a community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State have called on Governor Simon Lalong to direct the relevant government department to fix the road leading to the area as well as provide water for the people.
Jenta Mangoro which shares boundaries with Gada Biu in Jos North is located between the State Police command and Farin Gada and has a population of over 20.000.
Some of the residents who speak with Peoplereporters.com said they go through difficulties leaving the community to their places of work.
They alleged that the government has abandoned them despite promises made during the electioneering campaign of fixing the access road and ensuring potable water for the community.
“We are truly suffering, you can for yourself how terrible the road is, and this has been like this for ages. Politicians and government officials have deceived us, they told us to vote for them that these challenges we are facing would address but nothing has happened since they came on board.
“We are appealing to the Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong to urgently come to our aid by fixing the road and making sure he provides water for us regularly”.
Another resident told our correspondent that “We don’t have good road neither do we have water, he said sometimes they stay for months without water and whenever the water board decided to give us water, you see people fighting because everyone will be struggling to fetch
“During the lockdown, the community youths due to the suffering people go through on the road, mobilises themselves to make the road a bit motorable with the help of a good samaritan, Mrs. Simi Dusu who donated some latra (red sand), but after the first rain, it washed the sand away.
“so we are begging our governor to please come and help us, the lives of Jenta Mangoro residents matters”
