Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, assures the people of the state that Benue under his leadership, and the federal government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will witness the construction and rehabilitation of more road networks across the state.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor Sir Tersoo Kula says, “the Governor’s assurance is coming after the federal government recently gave approvals for the general rehabilitation of some key federal roads across the state following requests from him”.
The federal roads to be rehabilitated include; 1, general rehabilitation of the Aliade-Gboko- Yandev federal road, 2. general rehabilitation of the Gboko- Lessel- Ihugh- Tse Mker federal road, 3. general rehabilitation of the Oju-Otukpo federal road.
Gov. Alia disclosed that he is already in constant contact with the federal government for the speedy completion of the Makurdi-Ugbema road, as well as the rehabilitation of some failed portions of the Katsina-Ala-Vandeikya- Ogoja federal road.
He pointed out that, “apart from the ongoing construction of roads/streets within Makurdi metropolis, some other metropolis in the state including, Gboko, Otukpo, and Katsina-Ala will soon receive similar attention adding that opening of rural roads is also prominently featured in the plans”.
The Governor calls for more support for his administration as well as that of the Tinubu-led federal government, to enable them to deliver good democratic dividends.
