Commissioner for Budget, Mr. Emmanuel Pridimso, explained that the supplementary budget was necessary due to additional revenue generated by the state government, which will facilitate the completion of ongoing projects and the initiation of new ones.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Works and Energy, Adamu Atiku, announced that the Mubi–Maiha Road project has been awarded to Messrs Triacta Nigeria.
He mentioned that although it is a federal project, the state government felt compelled to intervene to alleviate the hardships faced by its citizens, recalling that the road was last constructed and subsequently abandoned in 2002.
Additionally, the state Focal Person on SDGs, Muhammad Raji, highlighted that counterpart funding will promote development in the state.
He urged the federal government to release its share of funds to ensure the successful execution of these developmental projects.
