The Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Sen Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, flagged off the construction of Alifokpa-Yache-Echumoga 65km Road.
The flagged off was done today 30th July, 2022 at Okuku axis of the road in Yala Local Government Area.
The road if completed will be the longest stretch road ever facilitated by a lawmaker from Cross River State in recent time and will open up the section of the LGA and revive economic activities as well as the establishment of a supply chain in road transport within its corridor, Okuku- Alifokpa-Echimofana-Yache, as it links the major food hubs to Benue state.
Speaking during the flag off, Sen Jarigbe expressed concern over the deplorable state of the road and its attendant effect on his constitituents. He stressed that the construction of the road becomes very necessary as it has retarded economic activities of his constitituents in Yala Local Government Area. He committed the project to God, as he prayed for a speedy completion of the road for the use of the people of Cross River North.
The lawmaker proceeded to inspect the Ongoing Monaiya-Ikaptang Road project which connects Ishibori to the Federal Highway.
The Senator expressed satisfaction with the level work ongoing as he inspected the ongoing Mini stadium and recreational Centre projects, he facilitated.
