According to him, the assistance includes cash support, furniture, mattresses, and pillows that target young women from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensure they can enter marriage with dignity and proper preparation.
“Supporting our young women in their transition to married life is not just about providing material assistance; it‘s about building stronger families and communities,“ he said.

In infrastructure development, he pointed out that a Science Model Primary School at Kwachiri Maidorawa was constructed, with computer rooms and libraries established, and over 2,000 school uniforms were provided to students across the constituency.
In the healthcare sector, Hon. Bello said N80 million has been invested in medical assistance for patients with cancer, kidney disease, tuberculosis, and other critical conditions, including the refurbishing of medical equipment at Sheikh Jidda General Hospital and upgrading the Sabo Garba Primary Healthcare Centre in his area.
