I did not join politics to enrich myself – Ndume

Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume has stated that he entered politics with the sole purpose of serving the public and not for personal enrichment. During a visit to the Shani community in Borno State, Ndume urged politicians to prioritize the needs of their constituents over their own interests. The community delegation, led by Shani chairman Musa Lubo, visited Ndume to express gratitude for his work in securing development projects for the area.

Ndume mentioned that he has passed a bill in the Senate to establish a Federal College of Agriculture in Shani, which has now reached third reading. The college is expected to offer agricultural education and support to farmers in the region known for cultivating rice, tomatoes, and onions. Additionally, the community commended Ndume for securing presidential approval for erosion-control projects worth N66bn across Southern Borno, which were also awaiting final approval.
