Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Fintiri has approved N567 million for the construction of Bakin Duze to Magar Village Road, along Michika-Maiduguri Road. The approval was made at the valedictory session of the State Executive Council in Yola.
During the session, members of the council shared their joy and experiences and thanked Governor Fintiri for giving them the opportunity to serve in his administration.
The commissioner for information and strategy, Dr Umar Garba Pella revealed this to Government House correspondents after the council meeting which was the last in the lifetime of the present administration.
Pella said due to the importance of the project to Adamawa and Borno states, an executive approval was earlier given on the road that was washed away by flood at the last rainy season.
The commissioner said the project has since begun by the contracting firm, Triacta Nigeria Limited.
He revealed that the council had also approved N19million variation on the contract for the rehabilitation of fertiliser blending plant in Girei which was awarded last year at the initial cost of N86million.
Pella said inflation and increase in tax were the factors that informed the variation hence its approval by the council.
The council, he said, has also approved procurement of four Toyota Camry for some principal officers in the office of the governor at the cost of N111million. The commissioner said the contract was awarded to Naiwa Global Links Nigeria Limited.
