He urged people in the area to trust his administration as he keeps working to improve the standard of the state across all sectors.

He maintained that the recent Infrastructure Award presented to him by the Federal Government is a testament that with him as leader of the state, the people are in safe hands and can be assured of quality leadership.

He called on the people, irrespective of political interest, to rally round his reelection as Governor and the former VP Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as President in order to enjoy more dividends of democracy in the state.

The Governor has directed that the project should be completed in six months time as against the 12 months initially planned by the contractor.

He appealed to the masses to be patient as the government under his watch will do everything possible to ensure even distribution of projects in areas that are not yet reached with projects before the expiration of his tenure as he promised.

In his speech, the State Commissioner of Works and Energy, Hon. Adamu Atiku, affirmed that since his assumption into office as Governor, Fintiri has remained true to his promises to the people.

According to the Commissioner, the 3.6km Bole road construction is very important to the state especially Yola South and most importantly the benefiting community who over fifty years were left to suffer plying the road in its deplorable condition

He revealed that respite has come through for the community as the Governor approved the construction of the road to ease movement of commuters and address cases of flooding affecting the  community yearly.

He said that the Governor has shown leadership capacity that cuts across all sectors and zones of the state and deserves to be reelected for him to continue with the good works.

He assured that the project will be monitored strictly to ensure it is done according to specifications as contained in the contractual agreement.

In his goodwill message, the District Head of Yola South, Alhaji Mohammad Ahmad Mustafa, expressed gratitude for the Government intervention in the community who were left to their fate under the deplorable road condition for over fifty years until now.
