By Shiktra Shalangwa
The Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Alkali has appealed for the total reconstruction of the Gombe- Dukku- Darazo and Gombe – Bajoga – Nafada- Potiskum roads which are currently in deplorable condition.
Senator Alkali made the appeal when he visited the Minister of Works, Engineer David Umahi in his office, saying that the inclusion of the project into the 2025 appropriation will help in no small measure towards boosting the economic well-being of the populace.
He said the roads connect Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, Kano and other States in the North West where the major human activities include farming, animal husbandry and trading, adding that the infrastructure when provided would improve the socio-economic status of the affected communities, thereby discouraging rural urban drift.
Responding, the Minister of Works, Engineer David Umahi assured that no stone would be left unturned by his Ministry towards redeeming the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to the Minister, bringing succour to Nigerians remains the cardinal principle of the present administration.
