The Warji community in Bauchi State has commended Gov. Bala Mohammed’s administration over the execution of a 19-kilometre road project in the area.

Mr Aminu Barmini, Chairman, Warji Local Government Council, said this during a project facility tour, on Thursday in Warji.

He said the construction of the road linking the state with Jigawa, was a life-changing project that reduced travel distance time, opened up and enhanced economic activities.

“Before the construction of this road, we used to travel to Gwaram in Jigawa for almost two hours but now, it is less than 15 minutes,” he said.

Barmini said the governor also initiated viable social and economic infrastructure development projects including the Warji General Hospital, erosion control and renovation of Primary Healthcare Centre, Miya.

Others are the construction of five-kilometre Burarana-Dabo road, construction of Dagu village head’s palace, Jumaat Mosque, among others.

Also, Balami Samson, a contractor, said the 150-bed capacity general hospital would be completed within one month.

“All modern equipment is being used in the construction, and once completed, this hospital will go a long way in addressing the health challenges of the people in Warji,” he said.

Mr Usman Shehu, Commissioner for Information, said the ministry initiated the facility tour to monitor projects executed by Mohammed’s administration in the state.
