The commissioner explained that the state government has organized an education summit with a view to finding lasting solution to challenges identified by stakeholders in the education sector across the state.
On road rehabilitation and reconstruction; she informed that the Tanke flyover project was approved for construction after due deliberations and consultations about the area which faced heavy traffic.
“The traffic situation around the Tanke axis in the state is as a result of the influx of people and expanding nature of the population within the metropolis.
“The second flyover will not only improve traffic decongestion in the state, it will further add to the aesthetics of our infrastructures.
“Despite the construction of the flyover, the government will also embark on other adjoining roads in the axis that linked other communities to massively decongest traffic.
“Expansion of the Tanke road alone will not achieve the needed impact, hence the flyover. This demonstrates that the government has a total grasp of the situation and aware of the impact of our solution”, she explained.
The Commissioner declared that business owners that are affected by the projects were only relocated to occupy the setbacks rather than driving them away.
