Former President Jonathan inaugurates 22-Km Jalingo dual carriage way in Taraba

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday inaugurated the 22-Km Jalingo dual carriage way in Jalingo, being executed by Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba.

The former president, while inaugurating the project, commended Ishaku for the gigantic project.

According to Jonathan, “when I visited Jalingo in 2015, Jalingo was not like this. I am impressed with this achievement.”

He also expressed satisfaction with the peace in the state, while commending the people for the warm reception given to him.

In his remark, Gov. Ishaku thanked the former president for taking time out of his tight schedule to honour the invitation.

He said that the choice of Jonathan for the inauguration was due to his love for the state and the relationship that predated his emergence as the governor of the state.

He recalled that the former president appointed him into sensitive ministries which served as a training ground for his success as a governor.

Ishaku also attributed his achievement in the area of security to the creation of more chiefdoms in the state.

He stressed that the opportunity given to him by Jonathan had assisted him to achieve tremendously as a governor.

The governor expressed satisfaction with his performance and encouraged the incoming administration to consolidate on his gains.

Jonathan inaugurated a flyover, the dual carriage and a Trailer Pack all in Jalingo.

The contract, which began in 2019, had been executed by Crainberg Nigeria Ltd.
