Senator Gyan’s Advocacy Secures Akwanga-Jos Road Dualization

From Abel Zwànke, Lafia

The long-awaited approval for the dualization of the Akwanga-Jos road has been met with widespread commendation and optimism from stakeholders in the North-Central region. Senator I.D. Gyan of Plateau State has been lauded for his relentless advocacy, which played a key role in securing the green light for this crucial project from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement signed by Dr. Kassim Muhammad Kassim, Special Adviser on Political Affairs to the Nasarawa State governor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule and sent to Daybreak on Sunday expressed heartfelt appreciation to Senator Gyan for his efforts and to the President for addressing the needs of the region.

“This much-needed project, once carried out, will significantly enhance transportation and connectivity in the region,” Dr. Kassim stated. “It represents a critical step toward improving the safety, economy, and overall well-being of the affected communities.”

Dr. Kassim also emphasized the broader impact of the dualization project on security. “The dualization of this road will contribute to alleviating insecurity from Akwanga to Sanga and Sanga to the surrounding forest areas. This is not just an infrastructural development; it is a lifeline for our people,” he noted.

Residents and stakeholders have commended President Tinubu for his responsiveness to the cries of the people. “Mr. President has demonstrated true leadership by listening to the voices of the people and responding to their needs,” Dr. Kassim added.

Stakeholders have called for the prompt implementation of the project to ensure its anticipated benefits are realized. “We eagerly look forward to the successful execution of this project and the positive impact it will bring to our region,” Dr. Kassim said.

The Akwanga-Jos road has long been a vital artery for economic and social activities, linking Plateau State with neighboring Nasarawa and other states in the region. However, the road’s single-lane design and deteriorating condition have often posed challenges to commuters, exacerbating transportation difficulties and contributing to security concerns in the area.

The dualization project is expected to bolster the regional economy by improving the movement of goods and people while also enhancing security by reducing the risk of criminal activities often associated with isolated or poorly maintained roads.
