Abandoned federal roads threaten lives, livelihood in Jigawa – Residents
Stakeholders in Jigawa State have expressed deep concern over the poor condition of some abandoned Federal Government roads in the state threatening the lives and properties of citizens.
They raised the concern during a sensitisation campaign on President Bola Tinubu administration’s mid-term report organised by the Federal Ministry of Information, held at Federal secretariat, Dutse.
Among the roads are Kwanar Dumawa to Babura Gaya-Jahun-Kafin Hausa, which have claimed several lives and properties of innocent citizens.
They explained that the Federal Government has re-awarded the contract for the construction of the two federal roads in Jigawa state since 2020 but the projects were abandoned without completion.
Responding, Head of Federal Information Centre, Dutse, Jigawa State Bashir D. Galadanchi said the aim of the sensitisation campaign is to highlight achievements recorded under President Tinubu and receive citizens’ reaction.
He said the event gave the citizens the opportunity to channel their demands to the Federal Government.
According to him, “Our door is always open for any group or individual who wants to forward citizens’ demands to the Federal Government.”
He assured that all the demands will be compiled and channeled to the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation for appropriate action.
Earlier, speaking, Mr. Mubarak Adamu Cisse, guest speaker at the event, in his paper titled “The Northwest Milestone”, highlighted some of the achievements recorded under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, especially in the region.
According to him, “within just two years of the present administration, the country has recorded tremendous success, including establishment of five regional Development Commissions.
