Engr. Bello said Governor Ademola Adeleke, because of the love he has for the residents and the passion to rapidly develop the State, has ordered that every road project must continue non stop.

He said the Governor recognises the importance of good roads in the socio-economic development of the society, hence the Governor’s determination to improve infrastructures.
