The Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Ahmed Alkali has appealed for the total reconstruction of the Gombe- Dukku- Darazo and Gombe – Bajoga – Nafada- Potiskum roads which are currently in deplorable condition.
Sen. Ahmed Alkali made the appeal Wednesday 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.
According to a statement Thursday by Special Assistant, Media and Publicity,Office of the Honourable Minister of Transportation Umar Alkali Jibril, the Minister explained that the roads connect Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, Kano and other States in the North West where major human activities include farming, animal husbandry and trading are carried out adding that the infrastructure when provided would improve the socio-economic status of the affected communities, thereby discouraging rural urban drift.
According to the Minister, bringing succour to Nigerians remains the cardinal principle of the present administration.
