Yobe: Buhari approves N4 billion to repair 90km Buni Gari-Gulani road
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe has commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime for approving the rehabilitation of the 90km Buni Gari-Gulani road.
On Wednesday, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the rehabilitation of the 90km Buni Gari-Gulani road in Yobe.
It will cost N4 billion and will be completed in 36 months.
Mr Buni, in a statement by his spokesman Mamman Mohammed, on Thursday, noted that the recent flood destroyed the road.
He described the gesture as a huge relief to the government saddled with the enormous responsibility of providing critical infrastructure.
The governor said the road would further boost trade and commerce among the business communities in the area.
“This approval gives the people of the state a sense of belonging. We are proud of this commitment and would support the execution of the project in the interest of our people and the business community visiting the state from within and outside the state,” Mr Buni said.
