The Minister of Transportation, Senator Sa’id Alkali, Thursday sought the intervention of his counterpart of Works Ministry, Dave Umahi for the reconstruction of some federal roads in North Eastern States.
He appealed for the total reconstruction of the Gombe- Dukku- Darazo and Gombe – Bajoga – Nafada- Potiskum roads which are currently in deplorable condition.
The minister made the appeal when he visited Umahi in his office on Wednesday, saying that the inclusion of the project into the 2025 appropriation would help in no small measure towards boosting the economic well-being of the populace.
Alkali, in a statement by his Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Umar Jibril, maintained that 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.
He added that the infrastructure when provided would improve the socio-economic status of the affected communities, thereby discouraging rural urban drift.
Responding, 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 him, Bringing succour to Nigerians remains the cardinal principle of the present administration.
