The building of the 11-kilometer GSS Ningi-Gudduba road, a dual carriageway project estimated to cost more than N10 billion, has begun in the Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State, according to Governor Bala Mohammed.
The project, which is seen as a return favor for the community, will help the state in the long run. It will have a 7.3-meter roadway and shoulders that are 2 meters wide. It is anticipated to be finished in 18 months.
