Niger State Government has awarded the construction of a 12 km road project from Mokwa to Rabba worth N7 billion.
The farmer Governor disclosed this when he paid an on-the-spot assessment and sympathy visit to the people of Mokwa following the recent devastating flood disaster that killed many, destroyed property, and livelihoods worth millions of Naira.
He said the road project, which will start immediately will include the construction of 4 bridges, to connect the two communities.
The Governor directed relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to take a complete survey of waterways and topography of Niger State with the view to relocating people off coastal lines to avert a repeat of the disaster.
He enjoined the people to unite and not to allow sentiments among them, especially in a period like this,while assuring them of continued government commitment to the wellbeing of its citizens.
A symbolic distribution of relief items was made to selected households.
The farmer Governor was also in Rabba to assess the bridge that was cut off by the flood, where he used the opportunity to also sympathize with the people of the community.
