The governor, who took time off to inspect some of the ongoing construction of township roads in Minna, the state capital, said ‘from what I have seen, we can’t beat the raining season with this pace of work.’

Governor Bello, who was not happy with the level of work achieved by some of the contractors, pointed out that the COVID-19 lockdown is not an excuse for any contractor to default.
