The Governor who gave the directive on Monday while on a working visit to the area, further directed that by the time he goes back in the next two weeks, significant progress must have been made on the project.

Bala Mohammed who made this known while inspecting the unfavorable condition of teaching and learning in the area said that the project must commence and make significant progress within two weeks time.
He also informed the community that the State Government has included the area in the proposed rural road construction across the state when the state secures a World Bank Intervention for Rural Community Development.
