'A DAWN OF A REAL DEAL: JOS EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL, ANGWARE, PLATEAU STATE.'

OPENING OF RURAL ROADS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN JOS EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA IS A MUST DO TASKS - Hon. (Pastor) Yakubu Izang Ezekiel

Reducing the distance between people, markets, services and knowledge or simply ‘getting people connected’ is a great part of what economic growth is all about. Although virtual connectivity has become increasingly important today with the emergence of new communication avenues, a good and reliable transport network remains vital.

However, there is also a very strong positive correlation between a country’s economic development and the quality of its road network. Hence, Hon. (Pastor) Yakubu Izang Ezekiel's administration in Jos East LGC is nevertheless making significant efforts to improve the already bad road situation in the local government by intensifying efforts to overhaul the only Caterpillar belonging to the Council that has been laying waste within Secretariat premises since the creation of the local government for over 2 decades ago.

Apart from the fact that good roads speed up the social economic development of an area, it also goes a long way in adding beauty to the environment thereby attracting would be investors to that particular area thereby reducing the danger insecurity situation in the area.

It’s interesting to know that Hon. (Pastor) Yakubu Izang Ezekiel, upon taking the mantle of leadership, made it clear to whoever cared to listen that the administration was ready to turn Jos East Local Government Area into a massive construction sight with the provisions of heavy construction machineries in the local government, a promise which he has kept. As the prices of crude oil continue to drop coupled with glut of oil in the global oil market, the attention of most countries who had in the past depended on oil for their major income are gradually drifting towards agriculture and Jos East LGC must think outside the box to diversify its affairs.

In view of the above, therefore, a renowned indigenous Engineer, Ada Engr. Yohanna Yaro was visibly seen this afternoon in the Council's Secretariat doing justice to the machine in order to put it in a sound working condition.

This is in fulfilment of his 5-Pillar Points Development Agenda for the Jos East LGA, as more concerted efforts would be seen towards achieving set goals.
