From Yakubu Mustapha, Minna
The Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello has declared that his efforts in persuading the Federal Government to reconstruct Tegina-Kontagora road has yielded result, following the award of the contract for the project.
Bello made this known when he and Governor-elect, Umar Mohammed Bago, received the executive members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kontagora, led by the Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Umaru Kawo on a congratulatory visit, at the Government House, Minna.
The Governor, who was excited about the award of the contract from Tegina to Kontagora, however, expressed displeasure over the delay by the contractor in mobilizing to site for the Minna to Tegina reconstruction work that had earlier been awarded.
He said the contract when completed, will reduce accidents and unnecessary delays on the road as well as ease the movement of goods and services noting that most trucks coming from Lagos to the Northern part of the country pass through the road.
On his part, the Governor-elect, Hon Umar Mohammed Bago assured the APC executive from Kontagora that his administration will complete all the laudable projects initiated by the present administration.
He also appreciated the people of the local government for standing by him and the Party to ensure he came out victorious in the last general election.
