ABUJA — The Federal Government on Thursday flagged off the Gombe–Biu Super Highway, a key section of the 700-kilometre Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri Dualisation Project, with the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, expressing confidence that security challenges in the country would be overcome under President Bola Tinubu.
Umahi made the remarks during the ceremony in Gombe, describing the project as evidence of Tinubu’s commitment to infrastructure development and national unity. He also commended Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for what he described as the transformation of Gombe State.
The minister’s comments were contained in a statement issued by his media aide, Francis Nwaze, in Abuja.
