The Ningi Emirate has applauded the Bauchi state government for the dualisation of the 11-kilometre Ningi township road, which the site engineer, Wassim Dayaa, has assured would be completed this December.
The project has been ongoing for 14 dry months.
Speaking during a state facility tour led by the commissioner of Information and Communication, Usman Shehu, at the site project in Ningi yesterday, the manager explained that work was progressing smoothly.
Wassim stated that the project has reached 70 per cent completion stage.
The state facility tour in Ningi was hosted by the local government council chairman, Alh. Nasiru Zakarai, who commended Governor Bala Mohammed for the various developmental projects executed in the area in the last six years.
The council chairman observed that even if Governor Mohammed was an indigene of Ningi, it was the limit he could do for the emirate, his traditional title of Turakin Ningi aside.
Alh. Zakarai enumerated some of the developmental projects Ningi benefited from the state government during the period under review, to include Arinja – Balma Road, Nasaru – GSS Ningi – Gudduba, Sultan
Abubakar Road and Ningi Police Station – Emir’s Palace Ningi – Burra – Lumbu Road.
Others are the renovation of Ningi LGA Secretariat, rehabilitation of Ningi Emir’s Palace, construction of Ningi District Head Palace, construction of Ari District Head Palace, construction of Burra District Head Palace and the construction of Ningi East Primary Healthcare Centre.
Other projects undertaken by the governor in Ningi include the construction of mosques and other developmental initiatives across the local government.
The supervising engineer from the State Ministry of Works, Engr. Sulaiman Iliyasu, confirmed that the 4.2-kilometre Nasaru township road was completed within the stipulated timeframe.
He further assured that the central road project would also be delivered within the approved period of 12 dry months.
The commissioner for Information, Hon. Usman Shehu, stated that the project tour was designed to evaluate the progress, quality and the overall impact of Governor Mohammed’s initiatives across the state, emphasising that all ongoing projects in Ningi and beyond would be completed as planned.
