Okponwa has praise and commended governor Simon Bako Lalong over the re-acquiring of the BARC FARM and redeeming the pride of the state according to him is a Loudable achievement and he has kept to the promise he made to the people of plateau state on assumption of office chief Chinedu make this known when some groups of journalist visited him in his office in jos over the issue of tudun wada mado road project that has so many speculations and controversy and seems abandoned by the state government.

The tudun wada community development association ably lead by Fedilis Ngwan has raised concerns over the way government neglected the project and causing more hardships to motorist and people leaving in the community this was what lead some team of journalist who where on the spot assessment to tudun wada on the invitation of the development association to see things for themselves, the people leaving in the community has accused governor of neglecting them because rumours has it that the governor said the people in Sabon gari mado and other parts of tudun wada did not vote for him so he will not complete the project, the team of journalist after the on the spot assessment interview various stakeholders and community leaders who has said similar thing of the governor’s negligence of the project by not providing funds to the contractor to finish the work, so the team of journalist went to visit the contractor handling the project which is JOLEX construction company and met with the CEO Chief chinedu to hear his own side of the story according to chief chinedu he said the governor has not neglected the project and the entire community but the simple reason is the state is running shot of cash and couple with the covid-19 pandemic it has stop virtually every thing in the state, Chief chinedu also siad if the government has neglected the community why then did they captured the project in the 2020 budget and allocating the sum of 200,00000 million naira to the project so is not true if someone said the government is not doing anything he said.
He further clear the air that governor Lalong has promised not to live any uncompleted projects and the governor has taken upon himself to complete all uncompleted projects left by the pass administeration and he promise to consolidate on his achievements and according to him in no time soon work will commence in full in the community, so the rumours going round that the contract is a scam by the state government is totally wrong and the public should disregard such and instead support the government in the good work they are doing.
Chief chinedu also said he is a man of reputation he had handle contracts in Adamawa, Bauchi, and in plateau and host of other state and he has not left any one uncompleted projects and the case of plateau won’t be different as governor Lalong is committed to the project he has awarded and they well definitely complete it by God grace he said, and he said part of the money given to him he paid some Compensation and did so much blast and good quality water way and some major bridges that the community has challenges with during rainning season and so many earthworks, and they have been filling some place that the rain affect and is causing them so much money but they have to do it to keep maintaining the road before any further work, and when he was asked if he has collected the 200,000000 million allocated to the project in the budget he said no but process to collect the money was already on the way before the issue of covid-19 came up and stopped so many things but he is confident that any moment the government will release the money for work to continue in all the areas as they have been doing little little work because of the raining season and the issue raised about the road to the governor’s in-law place he said is not intentional but is done because is a busy road and they decided to start from the tudun wada pack and is not because is the governor’s in-laws house that was done and the project won’t end there as people think once the mobilize them more all the remaining parts will be touch and more compensation will be paid to pave way for further work and expansion.
