Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has approved the extension of the Buku–Andaha road project to Ancho and neighbouring communities in Nighaan District of Akwanga Local Government Area.
The governor announced the approval on Sunday at the Government House, Lafia, while receiving leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who presented the results of the recent Nasarawa North Senatorial District bye-election won by Umar Danladi Halilu Envulu’Anza.
Sule directed the state Directorate of Rural Roads to commence mobilisation for the project from June 22, saying the extension would cover Arum, Anji, Pamapam and Ancho Wawaye communities.
He said the project was designed to improve rural connectivity, boost access to markets and social services, and stimulate economic activities in the affected communities.
The governor commended residents of Nighaan District for their support for the APC and peaceful participation in the electoral process, describing the party’s victory in the bye-election as a vote of confidence in his administration’s developmental programmes.
He assured the people that his government would continue to deliver infrastructure and other dividends of democracy across the state.
Speaking on behalf of the stakeholders, APC leaders thanked the governor for his commitment to infrastructure development and pledged continued support for his administration’s policies and programmes.
