Hassarawa state Governor, Abdullahi Sule has commissioned the 3.2-kilometre Loko Link and township roads in Loko, Nasarawa Local Government Area, describing the project as one of the most nally fulfilling achievements of his administration.
The commissioning ceremony, attended by traditional rulers, members of the State Executive Council, community leaders, and residents, marked the completion of a long-anticipated infrastructure project in the ancient town.
Speaking at the event, Governor Sule recalled the difficult terrain he once traversed from Nasarawa town through Ajaga–Tunga–Bakyano–Loko, a journey that previously took nearly 12 hours to complete.
He said the road project was more than infrastructure, but the fulfilment of a personal promise made to the late father of the Emir of Loko.
He explained that the newly commissioned road is a complete 3.2-kilometre ring road, linking key parts of the town, including the market, Gidan Liman area, and other strategic locations, thereby enhancing mobility and economic activities.
The governor urged residents to take ownership of the project and ensure its proper maintenance.
He also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to completing the ongoing upgrade of the Loko General Hospital, assuring that it would be fully equipped and operational before the end of his tenure.
According to him, the delay in the hospital project was due to simultaneous execution of similar healthcare projects across the state, including facilities in Akwanga and Azara.
He assured that the project would be ready for commissioning by June.
