Gov Inuwa seeks FG’s intervention over dilapidated roads

Gombe Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency, intervene in addressing existing road infrastructure challenges in the state.

The Governor made the call when he paid a working visit to the Minister of Works, David Umahi in Abuja on Thursday in continuation of his strategic engagements with the Federal Government in his pursuit of progress and prosperity for Gombe.

The Governor met with the Minister of Works, in an engagement that was a follow-up to the earlier one held in November last year.

During the meeting, Inuwa Yahaya emphasized the urgency of resolving challenges on key routes such as Gombe-Dukku-Darazo, Gombe-Bauchi, Gombe-Biu and Gombe-Bajoga-Potiskum roads.

The Governor is consistently pushing for collaborative efforts between the State and Federal Government to achieve a positive transformation of the road infrastructure, especially within the framework of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He also met with the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola in his office and highlighted the wealth lying beneath the waves.

He expressed his administration’s eagerness to collaborate with the Federal Government to unlock the full potential of these underwater resources.

During discussions, Inuwa Yahaya brought the Minister up to speed on the remarkable developments taking place at the Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park near the Dadinkowa Dam, and the immense economic potential that it holds for not only Gombe but also for Nigeria.

The Governor outlined the various sectors within the park that are set to contribute significantly to job creation and economic development of Gombe,  the North-East, and Nigeria as contained in a statement by Ismaila Uba Misilli, Director-General (Press Affairs) Government House, Gombe
