Mohammed promises to complete N11bn Bauchi road projects
The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has vowed to complete three road projects abandoned by his predecessor at the cost of over N11bn.
Recall that the three projects were part of the over N20bn contracts awarded by Mohammed Abubakar in September 2016.
While the construction and dualisation of Awalah Round –Miri was awarded at the cost of N6.6bn, the rehabilitation of Misau – Bulkachuwa Road and that of Bulkachuwa –Udubo were awarded at the cost of over N4.8bn.
Mohammed said all the projects had been reviewed, adding that the completion of all abandoned projects was in fulfilment of his campaign promises.
He said, “As a responsible government, we are doing all these with percussion and negotiations and I pledged to provide them with the necessary resources for immediate mobilisation to site.
“All these projects were awarded since 2016 and my administration will set up funds to pay them what they require for the completion of the projects.”
