Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed reiterated his administration’s commitment to providing essential infrastructure to the citizens of the state, as a token of appreciation for their support to the People’s Democratic Party in the recent elections.
Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony of the dualization of the 11km G. S.S Ningi- Gudduba road, the Governor noted the importance of road development in the economy, especially in facilitating commerce and access to employment and education.
He further stated that the previous administrations had deprived the Ningi Emirate and entire Central Zone of such developments, hence the need to right the wrongs by creating engagement and inclusivity.
The Governor expressed his appreciation to the Ningi Emirate for conferring him with the new title of Turakin Ningi and emphasized that the road project will not only benefit the people of Ningi but Nigeria as a whole.
The dualization project, worth over 10 billion naira, will be awarded to Mothercat Nigeria Limited and supervised by a team of engineers from the State Ministry of Works and Transportation and the Federal Ministry of Works to ensure speedy completion and quality.
The Governor confirmed that the project will create direct job opportunities for engineers, laborers, and artisans and indirectly to food vendors, suppliers, among others in a contraction value chain.
The ceremony was graced by His Royal Highness, Emir of Ningi, Alhaji Yunusa Muhammadu Danyaya, Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, and other dignitaries.
