The Adamawa State Controller of the Federal Ministry of Works, Dimas Tuwai, has rejected claims that the Tinubu administration is marginalising Adamawa in federal road project allocations.
In an exclusive interview with Arewa Punch on Wednesday in Yola, Tuwai said the federal government under President Bola Tinubu has awarded several new road contracts across the state and re‑awarded previously abandoned projects, with much of the work at advanced stages.
“The president approved three major roads across the three senatorial districts of Adamawa State,” he said.
According to Tuwai, the projects include the Jimeta–Mayo‑Belwa rehabilitation, valued at N83 billion; Phase 2 rehabilitation of the Yola–Hong–Mubi road and Phase 2 of the Fufore–Gurin road, covering 20 kilometres, at N15.246 billion following completion of the 17‑kilometre first phase.
Tuwai also disclosed four newly awarded projects intended to boost the state’s economy: the Jamblamba–Malabu (85 km), contractor 40 per cent complete; Jada–Mbula–Ganye (44km), ongoing;
