Fintiri completes, delivers 347.6km feeder roads in Adamawa

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has completed and delivered 347 feeder roads to residents of the state in about the past three and a half years of his first tenure.

The Commissioner for Rural, Infrastructure and Community Development, Abdullahi Prambe, in media interaction in Yola on Tuesday, stated that the Adamawa government constructed 347.6 kilometers feeder roads across the 21 local government areas of the state.

He said the projects had been executed in the past three years under the low volume infrastructure initiative of the Fintiri administration.

The commissioner stated that the project is designed to open up rural communities and link them with urban centers as well as ease movement of goods and services.

“The initiative will also expand access to the communities to boost their economic activities,” he said.

The government, he said, also restored power supply to Michika and Madagali, hitherto vandalised by the insurgents.

Prambe said the newly constructed cottage hospitals at Girei, Song, Gombi, Guyuk and Shellang had been connected to the national grid.

The Commissioner said the government also spent N10 million on minor repairs of broken boreholes, culverts, and water ways to enhance community development.
