Standup9ja: We have brought over N50bn projects to Bauchi –
Dogara
The Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has
disclosed that efforts of lawmakers from the state have attracted federal
government projects and interventions worth over N50bn to many parts of the
state.
He made the disclosure Saturday while flagging-off road
projects in Dass, one of the local governments making up his constituency.
Water, health and other road projects were also flagged off
or commissioned by the speaker in Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro, which are the other
local government areas in his constituency.
According to him, other road projects to be executed by the
federal government in Bauchi include; the Bauchi-Gombe federal highway, the
highway from Kano-Bauchi North and Bauchi Central up to Maiduguri.
He said that other roads to be constructed in Bauchi South
are Burga to Plateau state through Pankshin - Tapshin - Sara-Mangu which will
also connect Lere down to Jos.
The speaker therefore called on the Plateau state governor
to complete the road from Zwall to Mai Juju which is at the boundary between
Bauchi and Plateau States.
Dogara further informed that the contractor handling the
road construction projects was the same contractor who constructed the
Bauchi-Tafawa Balewa road.
The Speaker was accompanied to the event by members of both
chambers of the National Assembly from all the geopolitical zones of the
country.
