GOMBE — Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has intensified efforts to attract Federal Government intervention in major road projects across the state, particularly those considered critical to agricultural, commercial, industrial and tourism development.
Yahaya renewed the push during a meeting with the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, on Monday in Abuja, where he canvassed accelerated action on strategic federal road projects in the state.
According to a statement by the Director-General, Press Affairs, Government House, Gombe, Ismaila Uba Misilli, the meeting formed part of the governor’s sustained engagements with the Federal Government to improve road connectivity and unlock economic opportunities across the state.
A major focus of the meeting was the Gombe-Biu axis of the Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe-Biu-Maiduguri Super Highway, recently approved and flagged off by the Federal Government.
