In a bid to improve infrastructure and enhance connectivity within the state, the Adamawa State Executive Council has given the green light for the reconstruction of a 44km road. This road, which runs from the permanent orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Damare, near the state capital, Yola, to Borong, a major community in the Demsa local government area, is set to undergo a major transformation.
The feeder road, which traverses two local government areas – Girei and Demsa, is slated to be reconstructed at a cost of N836 million. The State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Umar Pella, revealed this information to the press following a meeting of the State Executive Council (SEC) at the Government House in Yola.
