Former Bauchi State Governor, Ahmed Adamu Mu’azu, has commended Governor Dauda Lawal for initiating various road projects in Zamfara State. Mu’azu, who also served as the National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), spoke during the commissioning of two major township roads in Gusau, the state capital.
A statement released on Saturday by the Zamfara Governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, detailed that the newly commissioned roads are the Freedom Square – Nasiha Chemist Junction and Freedom Square – Government House – Lalan – Gada Biyu.
The statement quoted Governor Lawal, who remarked that, for the first time in 28 years since the creation of Zamfara State, Gusau is beginning to resemble “a proper state capital.”
The Governor said, “I wish to start by welcoming our august visitor and special guest of honour to this occasion. This is no other person than His Excellency, Ahmad Adamu Mu’azu, a former Governor of Bauchi State and the former National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party. Your records as a trailblazer as Bauchi State Governor and PDP Chairman are still unbeaten and have remained a source of inspiration for upcoming leaders.
“Indeed, we cannot thank Almighty Allah enough for the gift of life and for the opportunity to continue unveiling project after project, not only as a developmental pedestal for our state but as a mark of fulfilment of our promise to the people of Zamfara State during the electioneering campaigns. I want to reiterate my commitment to the service of my dear state at all times.
“To the glory of Almighty Allah, these are some of the township roads constructed by my administration since we took office. What we are about to commission today is the second in a series of many. By the time we finish our plans for the urban renewal programme, all of us will be proud to call Gusau our state capital. Similarly, we will improve on all infrastructure across the 14 Local Government Areas of the state.”
Earlier, Mu’azu expressed delight at the projects initiated by Governor Lawal, describing him as a prudent and result-oriented leader. He stated, “Today, I stand with a lot of pride and gratitude to Allah for the commendable projects that Governor Dauda Lawal has undertaken. The remarkable aspect of these roads is that they are of the highest quality by global standards. I can assure you that these are very durable roads.”
