Abubakar Aliyu: Fix Federal Roads In Your States, We’ll Pay You Later

Alhaji Abubakar Aliyu, Minister of State, Works and Housing, on Saturday made the disclosure during a visit to Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, at Government House, Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

 

“Out of the total distance of roads we have across the country, 34,000 kms plus are under the jurisdiction of the federal government out of which we are currently working on over 13,000 kms simultaneously with over 800 contracts currently ongoing.

 

“Before now, some states may find it extremely necessary, because of urgency, to approach the federal government to seek financial help and permission to construct federal roads that are within their states.. they will be reimbursed later.

 

Responding, Gov. Bagudu appreciated the minister for the visit, applauding the present administration for completing one of the legacy roads it inherited; Sokoto-Tambuwal-Kontagora road.

 

“This road is one of the most important roads, not only does it link other states with the Federal Capital Territory, but it is the main gateway to Lagos.

 

“I remember in 2015 when we came in before the completion of the road, whenever we were having security council meeting, it was a nightmare for the Emir of Yauri to come, but today, he even looks forward to coming for the meetings.

    Nelson was unable to secure a regular role under Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta, last season, making just nine appearances for the Emirates club in all competitions.

    It’s understood that Arsenal are willing to let Nelson leave in order to help fund a move for a new attacking midfielder.

    Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have already secured one Premier League loan deal this week as they brought in Chelsea midfielder, Conor Gallagher for the season.

    The Eagles are also keen on RB Leipzig’s Ademola Lookman, but the Bundesliga club are holding out for a £3.5m loan fee for the player.
