Etsu of Bwari in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Ibrahim Yaro, on Thursday, urged Bwari Local Council to give priority to the repair of bad township roads, to promote growth.
Yaro made the call while addressing a delegation of the area council executive led by its Chairman, Mr. Musa Dikko, who paid him a courtesy visit.
The event was on the sideline of ongoing visits by the council executive to all the political wards in Bwari.
The wards include Igu, Kawu, Usuma, Kuduru, Dutse, Ushafa, Bwari central, Kubwa, Byazim and Shere.
He commended the council’s executive for being accountable to people, saying that attention should shift to the repair of Bwari township road.
According to him, the only thing the people are most worried about is the deplorable condition of Bwari township roads.
“I urge you and your council executive members to collaborate with the Federal Capital Territory Administration to fast track the repair of our roads.
“It is the only road linking the community to the outside world, the bad state of the road affect transportation of agricultural produce and hinders business operation in the community.
“The roads in the area council are bad, particularly from the Law school to the Bwari central market.”
The Etsu said although government once awarded contract to tar the road, nothing has been done to complete it.
Ibrahim said people plying the road were facing difficulties and appealed to the council to tackle problems behind the delay in completing the road repair.
Earlier, the local council chairman said the visit to the palace was to thank the traditional ruler for his support since their assumption of office.
He promised to put measures in place to ensure speedy repair of the deplorable Bwari township roads.
“We have started pouring gravels and sand to commence road repairs; we will do our best to deliver on our campaign promises,” Dikko said. (NAN)
