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.
