Flags Off Reconstruction of Gombe-Biu Highway

The Federal Government has flagged off the reconstruction and dualization of the Gombe-Biu highway, a project valued at ₦1.245 trillion.

The ceremony took place at Liji in Gombe State and was performed by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya alongside the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The 125-kilometre road will be reconstructed and dualized by Hi-Tech Construction Company using rigid pavement technology. The project scope has been expanded to 139 kilometres following a request by the governor to route it through the Northern Bypass.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya described the highway as an important economic and social corridor linking the Northeast with other parts of Nigeria and neighbouring countries. He said the project is expected to improve trade, transportation, and regional connectivity.

The governor noted that the road was originally built in 1962 and last resurfaced in 1976. He commended President Tinubu for approving the project and pledged that the state government would work with the federal government and contractors to ensure its timely completion to specified standards.

Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, said the project forms part of the federal government’s infrastructure priorities.

A performing Minister. Rated 8/10

It's only with infrastructure that this administration try small but what's the point of having good roads if you're not safe on them?

Is there no other construction company apart from Hi-tech?

Well done federal government

However, I think beyond road construction is ensuring that the roads are not a slaughter house for terrorists.

Na only road them sabi build, building human capital nor dey their head.

Even the road project sef, na for embezzlement.

Nonsense corntree. 😏

Another development stride that only people with eyes can see

Nigeria is making a lot of infrastructural progress under this administration.

This is commendable of the FG.

How many President don build Infrastructure like Asiwaju since 1999?

If other Government solved our poor road infrastructure, Asiwaju would have been able to focus on building human capital

Kudos to the Federal Government for this laudable projects. All over the country, road infrastructure are built.

Na family thing
Chop , chop Legacy projects

A boost to the Gombe-Biu route. Nothing to complain about, really.

Julius Berger would charge three times that cost of executing that project. In addition it would have gone through BPE before approval by Federal Executive Council

Another contract to hitech...

Was there any bidding?

You people will be comparing Nigeria to Egypt in terms of development, the road that was built in 1976 can't stand the economy viability of 2026.

Winneepye:

Your poor assessment of this administration's so called infrastructural progress is not a surprise. You Nigerians, clearly, do not understand your situation.

Would you rather compare Nigeria to Papua New Guinea, South Sudan or Haiti then?

You people though! 😏😏
