In the midst of ongoing road construction, the Niger State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure has appealed to Nigerlites and the public, particularly residents of Minna, to exercise patience and understanding. The closure of major roads and routes is necessary to expedite construction efforts, including the development of four significant flyovers at Tunga, Chanchaga, and Mobil Roundabout.
Niger State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Hon. Suleiman Umar, emphasized that the government is fully aware of the challenges faced by motorists and commuters due to these closures. However, he assured citizens that the inconvenience is not intentional but rather a means to achieve long-term benefits. "With patience," he stated, "we will soon witness the completion of these vital road projects."
During an interactive session with journalists, Hon. Umar highlighted the administration's commitment to urban renewal. He stressed the importance of keeping the public informed about government activities, prompting the ministry to engage with the media actively.
Motorists and commuters are advised to utilize alternative routes during this temporary closure. The goal is to ensure smoother traffic flow while construction progresses. Once all ongoing road projects are completed, normalcy will be restored.
Additionally, Engr. Olatude Ajayi, Managing Director of Benij Consultant firm, reaffirmed the commitment to quality work. The firm, known for its international standards, aims to meet the New Niger Agenda set by Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago. Ajayi assured that the ongoing road projects would adhere strictly to contract specifications, delivering lasting results.
