This Monday, the Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas, hosted the Nigeria Army Engineers and Taraba Road Construction And Maintenance Agency, TARCMA at the Exco Chamber, Government House Jalingo, to listen to their presentation in a bid to construct roads in Jalingo and across the state as well as ensure portable water distribution in Jalingo, Wukari, and Ibi towns.

Dr. Agbu Kefas while speaking at the presentation, said he allowed the Nigerian Army Engineers to work in collaboration with TARCMA to be able to access areas that are difficult to reach, as well as revive the state owned company and get it to compete favourably in the future.

He said his government is going to get back to the Nigerian Army Engineers as soon as relevant consultation is made.

In his presentation, the Leader of the delegation of the Nigerian Army Engineers, Brigadier General Sani Bello, said their team of engineers have assessed both roads and water projects that need to be fixed across the state.

He gave assurance that if given the opportunity they will address the Infrastructural deficit in the state.

He explained that the Jalingo water system and that of Wukari, Ibi will be fixed, as at the moment the facilities are made up of weak non-functional pipes and dilapidated storage tanks and need for additional reservoirs among others.

He said both the water projects in Jalingo, Wukari and Ibi will cost the state over N18 billion.

On road construction, Brigadier General Sani Bello said the first phase of the intervention will cover streets in Jalingo and across the state including, TSBS, Angwan Kassa, NNPC and Deeper Life roads, Gen. Faransa and Gen. Sinjen Roads. 

Other roads to be constructed are the Lekitaba - Kakara road in Sardauna Local Government, Zing - Lama road in Zing Local Government, Garin Abba - Shagarda road in Gassol Local Government, Tati- Kpashimbe, Bissaula -Gatari - Kufai - Nyido road.

According to him, all the roads measured 91. 82 Km and will cost the state over N42 billion.
