The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has lashed out at critics who claimed the administration of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has failed in the area of economic development.
“I am talking here of the 2.055km Loko-Oweto Bridge over River Benue and the 74-kilometre Nasarawa-Loko Road linking Nasarawa and Benue States. The road and the bridge are a game changer and economy-booster for the two states in particular and the nation in general”.
construction materials, you create a mini-economy around the construction site as food sellers and others converge there to cater to the needs of the workers”. come straight to Abuja via Keffi, thereby saving three hours as a result of the completion of this bridge and its access road. Also, the 74-kilometre road linking Loko to Keffi used to take about 3 hours because it was an earth road. Today, however, with the completion of the road, the same journey takes only 30 minutes. With the saying that time is money, you can then imagine the economic implication of the time saved.
