District Head of Darazo, Alhaji Muhammadu Bababa, has appealed to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed to construct the road which links the Republic of Cameroon and neighboring states of Adamawa and Gombe, to Darazo to ease the sufferings of travelers especially those going to Kano and Sokoto states for business.
Bababa stated this when he received the governor in his palace in Darazo. He urged the governor to construct the dilapidated Darazo to Basirka bridge road up to Gombe State border with Gombe State.
He said the dilapidated nature of the road has brought untold hardship to travellers and the people of Darazo alike.
“From our estimate, from Cameroon people travel to Mubi, Gombe, Dukku and Kano; they come through Darazo. Same for those coming from Sokoto to Adawaa they have to pass through Darazo.
“The road from Darazo to Dutse Tajarin and Gadan Basirka Tajarin is terrible and we would be grateful if God gives you the opportunity to construct it.”
He urged the governor to also complete the Darazo to Gabchiari road linking the area to communities in Gombe.
The district head thanked the governor for all his support to the people of Darazo.
He revealed that the governor had been supporting the people of Darazo when he was minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He said Governor Bala constructed the Darazo Central mosque which was in a dilapidated state for years when he was FCT minister nine years ago.
The monarch said over 2000 people worship at the mosque today and thanked the governor for the gesture.
He recalled that the governor also assisted the people of Darazo when the area was affected by flood that destroyed houses and displaced l hundreds.
“Our governor went from house to house to sympathise with the victims.
“We will never forget. He brought relief materials through SEMA worth N30 million.”
