Abdulhamid Yahaya Abba distributes water in buckets via water Tanker

Photos showing Abdulhamid Yahaya Abba, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Community Engagement, North East Region, distributing water to residents of Bauchi LGA via a tanker has sparked heated reactions. shocked

The community members were seen lining up with buckets to fetch water from the tanker, an act that many Nigerians found troubling. Social media users questioned why the SSA opted for a temporary solution instead of funding a borehole that would provide sustainable access to clean water.

Critics argue that such water distribution methods only highlight the government’s failure to provide basic infrastructure. Some residents expressed frustration, saying they need a permanent water supply, not periodic tanker distributions.
