A statement by Abubakar Bawa, Director-General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Sokoto, said on Sunday that the Governor expressed dismay over the deplorable condition of the road and assured the community of the state government’s commitment to addressing the situation.

“I have seen the deplorable condition of this road and, frankly speaking, I am touched by what I saw.
“I assure you that we will soon send a team of engineers to assess the condition of the road and advise the government on the appropriate action to take,” he said.

“We have, through these condolence visits, identified many challenges confronting communities, some of which we have since addressed,” Aliyu added.
The Governor assured the people of the state of his administration’s continued determination to improve their well-being through people-oriented projects and interventions.
He solicited the continued support and cooperation of the people of the state towards achieving this objective.
