Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has officially flagged off the construction of six major rural roads under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP), marking a significant step towards improving rural infrastructure and strengthening agricultural productivity across the state.
The launch reflects the administration’s determination to enhance connectivity and support rural farmers who rely heavily on accessible roads to move their produce to markets.
Governor Bala Mohammed explained that the roads were carefully selected based on their economic importance and the pressing needs of the benefiting communities.
He said that the RAAMP projects are designed to reduce transportation constraints, boost agricultural activities, and increase the income-generating capacity of rural households.
The governor said improved access roads will reduce post-harvest losses and enhance trade between rural and urban markets.
The roads flagged off for construction include: 24km Lanzai–Papa Road, 14.45km Misau–Beti–Maladumba Road, 28km Gamawa–Sakwa Road, 14.75km Dargazu–Gambaki–Chinade–Gangai Road, 6.68km Yana–Faggo Road, and 6.6km Giade–Tagwaye Road.
