Makurdi community gets access road after 40 years of using bush path vanguardnews
“For over 40 years we lived in Makurdi but our only access to other parts of the town from our community was a waterlogged footpath that sometimes becomes impassable whenever there is a heavy down.
“Before now, the late Ape Aku’s administration around 1980 tried to open up our community by carving out the road but that government could not execute the project when it was removed. “I must add that for doing this my subjects have agreed with one voice that we are politically indebted to the Governor and he should be assured that that debt will be paid whenever he seeks any political office in the future,” Chief Dzaan added.
I lack words to express my joy and that of all residents of the community. We cannot thank this administration enough. But we will of course remain eternally grateful and also supportive of the government,” Mr. Kparevde adds.Also speaking, 70-year-old Alaka Cham lauded the state government for giving his community a road before his passage.
