Nasarawa State Government says it is committed to executing more sustainable infrastructural projects that will have direct bearings on the lives of citizens across the 13 local government areas of the state.

Mr Ibrahim Angbolo, Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism said this in an interview with newsmen on Saturday in Lafia.

According to him, the present administration of Governor Abdullahi Sule has placed premium on sustainable infrastructural development to better the lives of the people of the state.

The Information commissioner debunked insinuations in some quarters that the present administration had not done much in terms of infrastructural development at the grassroots level.

Angbolo said the Governor in the last four years had embarked on infrastructural development across the 13 local government areas of the state, noting that he started consolidating on his first term’s achievements since he assumed office for the second.

“This administration has done so well not only in the area of infrastructural development but all other sectors, industrialization of the state is very much on course, these projects are out there for people to verify.

“I can tell you authoritatively that all the LGAs have lots of projects being executed by this administration, and many more are ongoing across the state as I speak with you now.

The first tenure witnessed massive infrastructure development; the construction of 15.5 Km Sisinbaki- Kwara road, in Wamba LGA, Shinge – Barkini Abdullahi – Killema road, Almakura and Abuja streets, intra city roads in Lafia Metropoli, completion of cargo airport.

“Others are upgrade of 48. 7km Toto – Umuaisha road, 26. 4km road Mararaba – Loko – Udege, 17km Gudi – Moroa road, construction of 24km Idadu – Agbashi road, completion of Wing Commander Abdullahi Skills Acquisition Institute, among others,” he said.

He listed the following projects as legacy projects of Gov Sule’s administration; Karu and Lafia modern Bus Terminals, dualisatoin of 5Km Shendam road and the construction of the state secretariat.

Angbolo further said the construction of state of the art state secretariat, dualisatoin of Akwanga township and landscaping of the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism have been on course by the administration.

“You will recall that the Vice President, Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje came to this state to commission projects executed by this administration; 5km Masaka – Luvu road, intra city roads and VIP lodge in Akwanga.

Angbolo said in an effort to boost economy of the state through commerce, the administration has embarked on massive construction of markets across the three Senatorial Districts in the state.

Information commissioner, while assuring government commitment to place the state in a sustainable development across the board, appealed to citizens to jettison sentiments and support the government to succeed.

“The 2024 budget of “Renewed Commitment” clearly captured critical infrastructures that have direct economic bearing on citizenry, and this shows that the administration is determined and committed to developing the state” he said.
