The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has lauded Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State for executing legacy projects that have direct bearing on the lives of the citizenry.
Alhaji Yabagi Sani, National Chairman of IPAC, gave the commendation on Tuesday in Karu while inspecting projects executed by the governor.
Sani, who is also the National Chairman and Presidential candidate of Action Democratic Party (ADP), said the group had decided to go round the country to inspect projects executed by governors to ensure accountability in governance.
He said they were in Kano, Imo and now Nasarawa State for on-the-spot assessment to see things for themselves and ensure that elected leaders actually deliver on their campaign promises.
He further said that the team would not be able to visit all the projects in the state due to time constraint.
He listed some of the projects inspected to include the Sani Abacha Bus Terminal Karu, Luvu Road in Mararaba, Permanent site of College of Health, Science Technology Keffi, the dual-carriage Roads from Total Filling Station to Federal Medical Centre (FMC) roundabout and from FMC roundabout to Nasarawa Road.
Others inspected are; Keffi Neighborhood market, Keffi Square and Museum, Antou bridge and Arusu Road in Kokona LGA.
In Akwanga LGA, the team visited Moroa Road, the newly established Faculty of Engineering, Nasarawa State University Keffi (NSUK) at Gudi, a remodeled VIP Lodge and Events Centre, Neighborhood market as well as a neighborhood market at Nassarawa-Eggon LGA respectively.
In Lafia, the team inspected the dual-carriage Shendam Road, Bus Terminal at Bukansidi, dual-carriage Shinge Road, Aliyu Doma Banquet Hall, New Presidential Lodge, ongoing construction of State Secretariat complex.
Others are; Lafia Cargo Airport, Vocational and Training Institute Lafia, Abuja and Al-Makura streets.
He explained that the Mega Bus Terminal in Mararaba-Karu axis has helped in reducing traffic jam in the area, which he described as one of the major problems because Karu is a gateway to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
He explained that the projects covered a wide spectrum including education, employment generation, tackling insecurity, reducing poverty and boosting the economy of the state.
He added that the inspection was in fulfilment of the mandate of IPAC to deepen democracy, adding that they were impressed with the performance of the governor so far.
“We are also aware that he has employed workers, implemented promotions of civil servants and paying salaries promptly,” he added.
The team was received in Karu and Keffi LGAs by the council Chairmen, James Thomas and Mohammed Baba-Shehu.
