Bauchi Gov Promises Viable Transportation, Launches Ningi Road Dualisation

Bauchi State governor, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has vowed not to relent in ensuring that essential infrastructures are provided to the citizenry to reciprocate their overwhelming support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the recent elections.

Mohammed spoke yesterday in Ningi when he led top government officials to the groundbreaking of the dualisation of the 11km G. S.S. Ningi-Gudduba Road which he said was in the fulfillment of the promises he made during his reelection campaign.

The road, when completed according to Mohammed, will facilitate commerce and bring access to employment and education among others, saying the Ningi Emirate and entire Central Zone were deprived of development by the previous administrations hence the need to support him to right the wrongs.

While appreciating and commending the Ningi Emirate for conferring him with the new title of Turakin Ningi, Mohammed said the importance of the road will not be limited to the people of Ningi but Nigeria as whole as it serves as gateway to Kano and Jigawa states.

Governor Bala Mohammed reiterated the commitment of his administration to ensuring the provision of dividends of democracy by mitigating the transportation difficulties faced by farmers and merchants in both rural and urban areas.

The dualisation project worth over N10 billion awarded to Mothercat Nigeria Limited according to the governor will directly provide job opportunities for engineers, labourers and artisans, and indirectly to food vendors, suppliers among others.

He said it would be supervised by a team of engineers from the State Ministry of Works and Transportation and the Federal Ministry of Works to ensure its quality and speedy completion.

The ceremony was graced by His Royal Highness, emir of Ningi, Alhaji Yunusa Muhammadu Danyaya, and Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi among other dignitaries.
