…Inspects\u00a0 Other Projects\u00a0 In\u00a0 Minna Metropolis<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 83 kilometer Minna- Bida\u00a0 roads is a priority project of the Niger State Government and to demonstrate its commitment, the state flagged- off the 15.5 Kilometers dual carraige with its own part of the counterpart funding , pending when the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) approved funds will be released.<\/p>\n

\nIt is against this backdrop, that the State Governor, Alhaji\u00a0 Abubakar Sani Bello expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done so far on the 15.5Km dual-carriage way on Minna-Bida road.<\/p>\n

Governor Sani Bello who inspected the road and some other road projects to ascertain the level of work done so far, said “if the pace of work on the road project is sustained, he is optimistic that it would be completed within the specified time frame”.<\/p>\n

On the issue of compensation to residents around the affected area for dualization,\u00a0the governor disclosed that compensation is being paid in stages and that the first stage amounting to over N300Million has been paid, adding that the second stage payment will commence soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith regards to the capacity of the company and the quality of work, I am satisfied .<\/p>\n

“Hopefully,\u00a0 next week we will begin the second stage of payment of compensation. If they continue at this pace, they will meet up as long as we don\u2019t have any hitches as regards funding\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The Project Manager, Dantata and Sawoe, Naafey Bin Shaukat while explaining that the work was being delayed due to payment of compensation said, that so far, “almost 12Km of the left lane of the road has been asphalted and work is ongoing on the right lane side of the road from Kpakungu a community on the outskirts of Minna\u00a0 to Garatu, in Bosso Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>

Shaukat stated further\u00a0 that they were constructing 15.5Km dual-carriage way, assuring that the quality of work will not be compromised.<\/p>\n

The Governor also inspected the N1.5billion Five number roads on old Alheri road, the 2.25Km Imani road as well as a 3.2Km canal at F-lay out 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

While the Governor was satisfied with the work at the Old Alheri road, he was however not pleased with the pace of work at the Imani junction project where 50 percent of the total sum has been paid to the contractor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old Alheri road project is very good, the standard and the quality of work is good. The project is 5 number roads, they are doing the first one now and they also promised that by the end of October they will lay asphalt on that road. So we will wait and see but so far their work is commendable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Imani road is a bond project and usually with bond projects there shouldn\u2019t be any problem because the money is guaranteed.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nTo be honest I am happy with the state of the road even though the contractor has convinced me and gave excuses of raining season\u00a0 and electric poles he however promised that in two months time we will see reasonable work done and if after two months the work is not done we will go back to the drawing board\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The Governor was in company of his Deputy,\u00a0 Alhaji Muhammad Ahmed Ketso, his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Ibrahim Balarabe and some members of the state executive council.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
