At Sabon Lugbe, where the chairman inspected a completed 1km road project, he addressed the media, saying all the projects are sited in rural communities for them to have a taste of the dividends of democracy.

“Having gone through the projects today, I can say they are 80% completed. I am glad that almost all the projects were done well. The only place I was not happy was Durumi 3 Primary School. I was not happy with the ceiling used by the contractor at the primary school.”

“Nevertheless, all the projects are sited in our rural communities. In some of the communities, they had no access roads. When it rains, the roads will be impassable. So, we know that the communities need these projects.”

“I don’t want a situation whereby after millions of naira have been paid to a contractor then after few weeks, the road will be having problems. When we pay money to a contractor, we expect to get value for money.”
