Imagine the kind of classroom blocks senators are building in 21st century. I thought I would see very beautiful pictures when I saw transform.

These senators should be taking classes from Femi Gbaja on what decent infrastructural projects should look like. The world is upgrading its infrastructure and Nigeria cannot continue to exist in isolation.

Pix: See what your colleagues in a lower legislative house did in his constituency.

Where is the jubilation?

This is very commendable, he has no doubt surpassed the expectations of constituents being a first time Senator. When compared to other Senators, Jarigbe remains the best.

You're not well informed, do you know how many years Gbajabiamila has spent in the House of Representatives even before becoming speaker ?? Can you compare the amount of funds available to a Reps member who spent donkey years the later speaker for four years... with just a year Jarigbe has done absolutely well.

My point is that these senators should stop building pig houses in the name of classroom blocks. Our world has moved. You cannot budget 300 million for a project and end up giving 20 million to a contractor and expect the best. Please let's stop defending mediocrity.

Victim mentality again? Aren't you guys tired of this nonsense already?!

Your point doesn't add up, first question you should ask is , what is the primary responsibility of Senator just like the name implies , they are to make only Laws and legislate over the activities of the Executive.

Any other thing apart from that is just borne out of passion and interest .

2nd question is how many other Lawmakers have done such, some have spent years at the Senate but have not even given ordinary pencil to their constituents.

3rdly, what's the role of Governors in their states and of course the failed Local Government system, these Senators are just trying go augment the lapses, besides some of these photos were taken during construction stages, the projects have been completed to perfection.

Senator now collect constituency allowance so their responsibility is not just legislating anymore. You are totally wrong on that.

I've always admired Senator JAJ.

This is highly commendable and I pray God to bless him.
