The Federal Government has again reiterated its resolve to positively transform the Nigerian road sector so as to enhance economic activities, in line with Mr. President’s pledge to Nigerians for the provision of critical infrastructure.
This was made known by the Minister of State for Works, Amb. Bashir Yuguda, while he was commissioning the Katsina – Daura- Mai Adua road and two bridges along the Kano-Katsina federal road in Katsina State.
Amb. Yuguda stated that President Goodluck Jonatahn attaches much importance to all the federal roads in Katsina State due to the fact that almost all are part of the Trans-Saharan route linking Nigeria with its Northern neighbour, Niger Republic.
The Minister also stated that the Federal Ministry of Works has numerous projects in Katsina State; including those leading to the border towns with Niger Republic.
Amb. Yuguda also hinted that last year December, the Federal Ministry of Works embarked upon “Operation Safe Passage” during which the Ministry was able to rehabilitate all federal roads in the State up to Magama.
Amb. Yuguda further disclosed that the road and bridges being commissioned were as a result of alerting the Ministry on time; Mr. President’s approval of funds and co-operation from State government.
The Katsina State Deputy Governor, Barr. Abdullahi Faskari, who accompanied the Minister to the commissioning ceremonies, hailed Mr President’s Transformation Agenda, which according to him “is truly transforming the fortunes of the people of Katsina State”.
Barr. Faskari added that the good people of Katsina State will be eternally grateful for the Federal Government’s good gesture.
