He expressed optimism that the project would facilitate the development of the area. Wike assured the residents that President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda was not mere talk but action.
He stated that the road construction was designed to make rural dwellers comfortable and open rural communities for development. He added that two additional roads would be constructed in each of the area councils before the end of the year, to add up to three rural roads per area council.
