secretary to the governor, he said the governor decided to fix the road after it was abandoned by the federal government.

We run a responsible and responsive government and people should tell those at the federal level to stop giving excuses and to stop complaining.

“We are calling on federal authorities to be alive to their responsibilities and stop complaining and give us value for our votes, as we will change this change that has brought inconvenience to our people. Despite the paucity of funds, we won’t be deterred and discouraged. We will ensure that the road is made motorable before Christmas period and I urge the people to cooperate with the contractors.”

He said: “I am deeply touched by the decision of the governor to
start the rehabilitation of this road. The bad portions are
menace to us here. That the governor has the view of
rehabilitating a federal road, bearing in mind the problems
associated with getting reimbursed for it, is very
commendable. The governor has left an indelible mark in our
hearts.”
