The Adamawa state government has approved over N4 billion for the construction of the 3.5-kilometre Mubi-Gela road project.
The approval was made during the State Executive Council meeting presided over by the Deputy Governor, Kaletapwa George Farauta Wednesday.
Briefing journalists shortly after the meeting, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. James Iliya, said the project is part of the ongoing commitment of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to both rural and urban development.
He noted that the contract for the project has been awarded to Triacta Nigeria Limited to be completed within 12 months.
Iliya emphasized the importance of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, urging residents to take it seriously in view of its significance to public health and environmental sustainability.
Speaking further, the Commissioner for Works, Engineer Mohammed Suleiman, explained that the Mubi-Gella road project has been segmented into phases due to the deteriorated condition of the road.
He expressed optimism that the project would be completed within the stipulated timeframe of 12 months, citing the track record and capacity of the contractor handling the project.
