Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has officially performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the ₦11.5 billion Keffi Flyover, a strategic 900-metre bridge project located at the busy Keffi Roundabout in Keffi Local Government Area.
Describing the project as historic and people-focused, Governor Sule emphasized that the Keffi Flyover will significantly improve road safety and ease traffic congestion in the area.
He recalled a tragic accident that occurred at the same spot last year, which claimed multiple lives, including those close to the Odyong Nyankpa of Panda, HRH Barrister Joel Aninge.
“That was one accident too many. It was at that moment I said, why are we engineers? We must design and construct infrastructure that reduces the number of accidents on our roads,”the Governor said.
Governor Sule commended the Nasarawa State Ministry of Works and the Nasarawa State Urban Development Board (NUDB) for the innovative design, and Bauhaus Global Investment Nigeria Limited for agreeing to deliver the Keffi Flyover project within 12 months at a total cost of ₦11,451,954,80, with no variation.
Speaking at the event, Engineer Wada Yahaya Adamus, Managing Director of the NUDB, noted that the flyover is part of Governor Sule’s commitment to transform Nasarawa State’s infrastructure and tackle recurring traffic challenges that affect lives and businesses.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Bauhaus Global Investment Nigeria Limited described the project as a major milestone that will accelerate the urban transformation of Keffi and its environs.
In their goodwill messages, prominent leaders including the first civilian Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, and the Emir of Keffi, HRH Dr. Shehu Chindo Yamusa III, applauded Governor Sule’s leadership and called on residents to fully support the execution and timely completion of the landmark Keffi Flyover project.
