The paramount ruler of Koro chiefdom, Vehra-sheh, His Royal Highness, Christopher Jatau, has commended the Nasarawa State Government under the leadership of Alhaji Aliyu Akwe Doma for embarking on the re-construction work of the Gitata – Panda – Karu road, appealing that the governor should try and include Panda – Kobe Shinkata road in the next road projects scheme.

Speaking recently with Nigerian Newsday in an exclusive interview at his palace in Kobe, Honourable Jatau stressed that embarking on the project was a clear demonstration of the administration’s sensitivity to the yearnings and aspirations of the people.

He said that the road project, if completed, would go along way in improving the socio-economic activities of the people by boosting their productive capacities in agriculture and other business activities.

The traditional ruler who stated that his people have been suffering for a long time due to inaccessibility of roads network in the area, contended that the steps taken to put back the road in good shape by the state government was a right step in the right direction.

In his words: "The Nasarawa State Government under the able leadership of Alhaji Aliyu Akwe Doma, the Garkuwan Doma is doing marvelous things in the state. I am appealing that in the next road projects scheme, he should try and include Panda – Kobe Shinkata road, owing to the fact that my people are facing serious problem because of the bad condition of the road."

He then urged the governor to ensure that quality work was done to enable the road last long by ensuring that the contractor was given to a competent contractor.

While assuring the governor of the continued support and cooperation of his people to the present administration, he stated that they would continue to live in peace and harmony to make the project realizable.
