Speaking at the ceremony in Tudun Biri community, Igabi local government area of the state, Malam Uba Sani said he has previously pledged to build an access road, school, hospital, and other developmental projects for the community following the unfortunate incident where some villagers were killed and others injured during Maulud celebration as a result of bombed by the military in December 2023,
Governor Sani said the projects would open up development of farming in the area and other neighboring communities by transporting farm produce to the markets easily to where they can sell them.
“Two days after the unfortunate drone accident, I promised the people of Tudun Biri that by the grace of God, we will improve the infrastructure of the village, build road for them, build hospital, as well as skills acquisition center. By the grace of God, today we are here to fulfill our promise.
Malam Uba Sani further disclosed that, one of the most important agenda of his government is the revitalization of the rural economy.
“The road we are breaking ground for today, which is about 5.5kilometers, will certainly reduce the travel time of the people of this community to the town. It will also ease movement of goods”
“Most of the people in this village are Farnese and artisans. So, the road will help them to move their produce from Tudun Biri and link them up with the markets”
The Governor further revealed that, the skills acquisition center when completed will help most young men and women of the community, who are determined and willing to be financially independent to learn different skills.
“As a government, job creation is one of the most important focus of our government, because we believe, it will reduce unemployment and also reduce the poverty level in the state.
He said the Primary Health Care would be fully equipped with modern equipment and personnel aimed at providing effective Health care services to the residents of the area.
The Governor also commended the people of Tudun Biri for their patience and cooperation with the government during and after their trying moment and promised that, the community would not be let down.
Earlier, the District Head of Rigasa, Alhaji Aminu Idris who spoke on behalf of the community expressed appreciation to the Governor for fulfilling his promises and appealed to the government to also link Tudun with Buruku with similar road project, saying that that it will also assist other neighboring communities.
