Adamawa Govt Approves Over N10bn For Key Infrastructure Projects

 The Adamawa State Executive Council, in its 5th meeting for 2025 chaired by Governor Ahmadu Umaru  Fintiri, has approved several multi-billion naira contracts aimed at boosting infrastructure development across the state.

A major highlight of the meeting was the approval of the Maiha Township Road Project spanning 5.7km, awarded at the cost of N3.7 billion to Mssrs Workers Construction with a 12-month completion period. 

The council noted that the road had been previously destroyed by insurgents, making its reconstruction critical for local mobility and economic activity.

Briefing newsmen after the meeting, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Iliya, revealed that the Council also approved a variation on the Federal Housing Estate Road Network Project to the tune of N3.5 billion. 

He said the revised plan includes an additional 3.3km road network in the new layout, with the construction of strong water drainage systems and other infrastructural expansions.

According to the Commissioner, further approvals include the construction of a perimeter fence around the 1,000-unit Malkohi Housing Estate, awarded to Messrs Engineering Service Limited at N1.9 billion, with a 6-month completion timeframe. 

In addition, the Council approved pre- and post-consultancy services for the design and supervision of the Malkohi perimeter fence, valued at N133 million, to be handled by a constructing company based in Abuja.

The Council also approved pre- and post-consultancy services for the Adamawa State International Conference and Event Centre at a cost of N1.05 billion.

Contributing, the Commissioner for Environment, Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed, presented the NIMET weather prediction report to the Council, warning of intensive rainfall and windstorms due to climate change. 

He urged residents, especially those in flood-prone and riverine areas, to relocate to safer locations. He also advised farmers to expect drought in June and July, and to consult agricultural experts when selecting seeds.

Alhaji Sadiq further cautioned residents against dumping refuse into waterways, as such practices exacerbate flooding during the rainy season.
