Kaduna legislator commissions 3km rehabilitated road

Mr Sunday Katung (PDP-Jaba/Zangon Kataf), Federal House of Assembly on Wednesday commissioned a rehabilitated three km road along Kachia-Kwoi Road in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Katung while commissioning the project said the rehabilitation of the road would reduce road crashes and loss of lives.

He expressed satisfaction with the job done, which according to him was aimed at curtailing recurring road crashes witnessed along the road.

“The portion of the road, which spans about three km prior to its rehabilitation, was a nightmare to motorists.

“It is our hope that with the work done, motorists as well as other road users would have some respite and move without hitches,’’ he said.

The legislator said he remained committed to ensuring his constituents had good roads, adding that other roads, including Jere-Kwoi, Kwoi-Kurmi, Jubril to Kachia, would soon receive same attention.

Also at the event, Mr Ben Bako, former Commissioner for Information in Kaduna State, said the business of governance had little or no significance except it impacts on the lives of the common people.

“What we witness today suggests that there was no barrier to constructive engagement with legislators.

“We commend the legislator for being able to lobby for such an intervention that would touch our individual lives,’’ he said.

Mr Bisallah Gyet, PDP Chairman of Jaba Local Government Area, said the gesture was not only to the benefit of the people in the area but for many road users who use the road.

He said he was hopeful that the gesture would serve as a challenge to others, who are in positions of influence, adding that the rehabilitation would drastically reduce road crashes witnessed on the road.
