The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has pledged to complete all projects initiated by the past government to enable his people derive full benefits from the huge investments in infrastructure across the state.

Mr Ortom made the commitment while inspecting the 47 kilometer Daudu/Gbajimba rural road down to the rivers Katsina-Ala and Benue confluence at Gbajimba.

The 83 million Naira rural road which was awarded by the previous administration but abandoned after the contractor was mobilized to site, also include a standard bridge across the river Mu, where many lives had been lost.

Mr Ortom expressed dissatisfaction over the pace of work on some projects, but the contractor gave an assurance of increased work rate to deliver on schedule.

The Daudu/Gbajimba road project is one of the ten rural and urban roads being funded from the 10 billion Naira infrastructural loan recently accessed by the state government.
