All states and the Federal Government are looking forward to commissioning projects to celebrate the President’s two years in office,” he said.
“On our part, we have invited the President to commission our brand-new secretariat, the underpass at the Total Filling Station in Lafia, as well as the completed dualization of the 5km Shendam Road,” he added.
The Governor also unveiled plans to purchase and distribute additional security vehicles, as well as vehicles for youth empowerment, especially in Lafia, Akwanga, and Keffi. These vehicles have already started arriving in the state from China.
“We are also purchasing security vehicles and vehicles for youth empowerment. These vehicles will be deployed for commercial purposes, with the aim of providing employment for the youth. We have already given Mr. President a timeline from May 10 to 15, awaiting presidential confirmation,” he stated.
