The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has unveiled the construction of his administration’s third flyover at the West End Roundabout in Maiduguri, the state capital.
Zulum was accompanied by the senator representing Borno Central, Kaka Lawan, and the Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijjani, to perform the flag-off ceremony on Saturday.
This was disclosed in a post shared on the governor’s Facebook page on Saturday.
The project, which is the third by the Zulum’s administration, is expected to be completed in one year.
The post read, “The flyover work was part of his election campaign to put in place infrastructures in the major cities in Borno State.
“In fulfilment of our electioneering campaign to ensure urban renewal of some major cities in Borno State, especially Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, the government of Borno State is serious about uplifting and upgrading facilities within the Metropolitan Council,.
“We have constructed two flyovers; this will be the third one, and, In Sha Allah, before we leave office, we will ensure the completion of all the structures we have initiated.
“Constructing the west-end flyover is not just for beautification, but to also reduce congestion, allow traffic flow, and create indirect job opportunities for the youth.
“The construction of this flyover is not only for aesthetic consideration. The most important thing is to reduce vehicular congestion in the area.
“The custom roundabout was the busiest before now. The construction here would create thousands of job opportunities for our teeming youths within the Metropolitan Council.
“50% of the construction funds have already been released to the contractor, Eighteenth Engineering Company (EEC), and assured them of prompt payment.”
