Governor Sule who is barely returning to the state from his two-weeks trip to the United States, stopped over in Akwanga to inspect the ongoing projects. 


The Governor traversed a section of the 5.6km bypass that will link the Akwanga-Keffi expressway to the Akwanga-Jos Road, starting from the Nsakpe by Alushi Junction to burst at the Mada Hills Bridge.


He also inspected a culvert under construction as part of the Akwanga road dualization project, where he expressed concern about possible disruption in the free flow of traffic but was assured by the contractor handling the project that vehicles have free access coming into and going out of Akwanga.


Governor Sule equally inspected the ongoing construction of the Akwanga underpass where he reiterated his call for the timely completion of all the ongoing projects in Akwanga.


The Governor was accompanied on the inspection visit by the Chairman of Akwanga Local Government Area, Hon. Safiyanu Isa Andaha.
