Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has inaugurated the Total Junction fly-over bridge in Jimeta, Yola, which is the first of its kind in the North East region of Nigeria.
Speaking at the inauguration on Saturday in Yola, Abubakar described the project as a great achievement.
According to him, traffic will now follow better, accidents will reduce drastically and it will add colour and beauty to the capital city.
He said that the execution and inauguration of the project would serve as a lesson to the next generation of leaders for accountable leadership in the state and country at large.
In his remarks, Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa said the inauguration was part of the activities to celebrate his two years anniversary in office as the executive governor of Adamawa.
Today’s event, which is the commissioning of the first overhead bridge in Yola, and perhaps, the entire Northeast is the climax of the first phase of our series of commissioning.
We have spent the past two weeks in this mood from the commissioning of urban roads in Numan, Michika, Hong, Yola-South, Yola-North to the connection of Toungo to the National Grid, it has been celebration all through.
“The people of Adamawa have every reason to celebrate not only the presence of physical structures, but they can also see and touch as partly evidenced by what we are commissioning today.
