The Chairman of Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State, Bala Useni, has commenced the grading of an access road at Ando Azara, a community located beside the Federal Government College, Wukari, as part of efforts to improve road infrastructure and accessibility within the town.
A visit to the project site by our correspondent showed ongoing grading work aimed at opening up the area and providing a functional access route that will connect Ando Azara to other parts of Wukari.
The project is expected to ease movement for residents, motorists, as well as students and staff of the Federal Government College, Wukari.
It is also anticipated to enhance security and boost commercial activities in the area.
Residents of Ando Azara and neighboring communities have welcomed the development with enthusiasm, describing it as a long-awaited intervention.

They expressed optimism that the grading work would bring lasting relief to transportation challenges in the area.
Some residents, who spoke with our correspondent, commended the council boss for what they described as a people-centered initiative.
