Minister of Power, Works, and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has declared that unlike previous administrations that left the Ilorin-Jebba highway to its deplorable state, the present regime will fix and ensure timely maintenance of the road.
He decried the deplorable state of the highway and the time wasted there due to the bad state of the road.
The minister spoke when he visited the Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, at the state Government House in Minna, Tuesday night.
Fashola visited Zungeru Hydro Power Dam meeting the governor.
‘‘We are making 60km journey that should take 40 minutes. We are making it at one and half hour to three hours.
“As I said to those truck drivers along Ilorin-Jebba road, staying there for four days, if they have the opportunity where they will pay and tolling it would have been better than losing four days and their perishable goods there. We will fix the roads first and we go back to maintenance,” the minister stated.
Fashola lamented the inability of past governments to develop the country with the vast resources available, pointing out that we have lots to do with less resources. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
