During the two days inspection tour, the Hon commissioner and his technical team were able to inspect:

- the Wuro Ngayanndi bridge,

- 3.2km Manpaya road in Uba,

- 2.42km Mubi township roads, and

- the completed 39.0km abandoned Pella/Maiha road in Hong local Government area.



On his way to Maiha, the honourable Commissioner also stopped at the Bladega Bridge along Mubi- Maiha axis and inspected the dilapidating state of the Bridge and said that the bridge will demand state Government intervention so as to tackle it earlier to avoid cutting off totally.


Honourable Adamu has expressed satisfaction with the quality and pace of the projects in all the construction sites visited saying that the people of Adamawa state are very lucky to have a leader in the likes of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for executing gigantic infrastructures across the 21 Local government areas despite little earnings of the state. “I can boldly beat my chest and testify that the Fintiri’s slogan: Nobody will be left behind and Nothing will be left untouched, is nothing but the truth!” - Hon Adamu Atiku Abubakar said.



While at the Mubi roundabout flyover, Hon. Adamu Atiku was also delighted with the completion of the pilling works.  and also said that the recent Mega projects in the state are very significant, symbolic, and life changing developmental projects. Knowingly, our population is obviously dynamic. Hence, there’s need for an improved infrastructural development approach so as to reduce traffic, boost socioeconomic activities, reduce security challenges as well as open up the state for residential and attracts more investments. He added that His Excellency RT. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is a visionary leader, who is building the Adamawa of tomorrow by prudently managing the little resources of the state.


He lastly commended the efforts of all his Ministry staff especially, the permanent secretary and the Technical team for the roles they are constantly playing just to give out their best for the benefit of the good people of Adamawa state.


In the same vain, the permanent secretary - Engr. Suleiman Mohammed highlighted that, all the contracts have been duly awarded and has confident that the contractors will deliver a quality work within the scheduled completion period.
