Today, I flagged off the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the 41-kilometre Bisichi–Fan–Mangu Halle Road, an important project that reflects our commitment to building durable infrastructure and improving connectivity across Plateau State.
This road was originally awarded in December 2012 as a surface-dressed road on a laterite base. However, the realities of today, including increased traffic and the deteriorating condition of the existing infrastructure, demand a more sustainable solution. We have therefore upgraded the project to a full asphalt road designed to serve our people for years to come.
For us, this is about more than constructing a road. It is about connecting communities, reducing travel time, improving road safety and making it easier for our people to access markets, schools, healthcare facilities and other essential services.
When completed, the Bisichi–Fan–Mangu Halle Road will also complement other strategic projects we are undertaking, including the Foron–Bakin Kogi–Kadunu–Gindiri Road, as we work towards strengthening connectivity across the three Senatorial Districts of Plateau State.
I am also pleased that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has granted full approval for the Mararaban Jama’a–Mangu–Kanke–Langtang–Shendam–Ibi Road. I deeply appreciate Mr President for his support, goodwill and continued partnership with the Government and people of Plateau State.
Our collaboration with the Federal Government continues to open opportunities for infrastructure development, economic growth and improved livelihoods for our people.
I equally appreciate the people of Fan and Barkin-Ladi for their cooperation and willingness to support development within their communities. We will continue to pursue initiatives that translate directly into better livelihoods and stronger local economies.
Beyond road infrastructure, we are exploring modern greenhouse agricultural systems that can produce higher yields with less land. This forms part of our broader effort to improve agricultural productivity, empower rural communities and create sustainable economic opportunities across Plateau State.
Our commitment remains clear: we will build infrastructure that lasts, connects our communities and supports the long-term economic transformation of Plateau State.
Every road we rebuild must ultimately mean something to the Plateau citizen: easier movement, safer journeys, better access to opportunities and stronger communities.
Together, we are building a more connected, productive and prosperous Plateau.
