This was disclosed by the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Umar Kadafur when he paid a Sallah Homage to the Emir of Biu, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Mai Umar Mustapha at his Palace on Tuesday.
He said, government is more concern on the plight of the citizenry, adding that reconstructing the roads will not only ease transportation problems, but link other parts of Adamawa state for economic businesses.
