he noted, were aimed at enhancing the living standards of the people.

Aliyu pledged that he would also invite Lamido to Niger to come and witness his (Aliyu's) achievements

in the state.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Works and Transport, Alhaji Baba Aliyu, said that the Jahun-Kiyawa-Gumel

road.
He noted that prior to its renovation; the road had been in a state of disrepair.

"The road turned out to be a death trap where many lives and properties were lost," he said.

The commissioner said that his ministry had utilised its in-house professionals to prepare the design

of all the 12 roads currently under construction.
"The road projects were executed through direct labour at the cost of N26 million and they would have

cost N289 million. Thereby, we have done a lot of savings for the government," Aliyu said
