In a landmark stride for infrastructural advancement, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada has announced that the Keffi-Nasarawa-Toto-Abuja road will become the first concrete road to be constructed by the Federal Government in the entire northern region of Nigeria. This historic development marks yet another addition to the impressive scoreboard of achievements recorded by the distinguished senator representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District.
The highly celebrated lawmaker made this disclosure in Abuja shortly after a strategic meeting that finalized the details of the project. According to Senator Wadada, the remarkable approval came after persistent lobbying, persuasion, and constructive engagements with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he commended for granting a lasting infrastructural legacy to the people of Nasarawa State and the North at large.
Senator Wadada revealed that the Federal Government has now approved the construction of the road using rigid pavement technology—a full concrete road system known for its durability, longevity, and ability to withstand heavy traffic. This represents a significant upgrade from the conventional asphalt road typically used in Nigeria, signaling the administration’s commitment to providing quality infrastructure that stands the test of time.
For the people of Nasarawa State, this uplifting announcement is yet another milestone achievement attributed to Senator Wadada’s visionary leadership and relentless dedication to attracting democratic dividends to his constituency. Known for his proactive engagement and hands-on approach, Senator Wadada has consistently demonstrated what it means to translate legislative influence into tangible development.
It will be recalled that the Hon. Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, recently inspected the road corridor alongside the Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, setting the stage for the renewed federal commitment to transform the route into a world-class concrete highway. Their participation underscores the collaborative effort driving this transformative project.
Citizens across Keffi, Nasarawa, Toto, and adjoining communities have expressed joy and gratitude, noting that Senator Wadada’s intervention will not only improve transportation and safety but also boost commerce, ease mobility, encourage investment, and stimulate economic growth throughout the region. The concrete road promises reduced maintenance costs, fewer potholes, and a longer lifespan—benefits that will be felt across generations.
As the project prepares to commence, Senator Wadada’s name continues to stand tall among leaders who deliver results, not just promises. His achievements reaffirm his reputation as a man of action, a bridge-builder, and a true ambassador of development for Nasarawa State. With this milestone, he has once again demonstrated that effective representation goes beyond sitting in the chambers—it requires vision, courage, and unwavering commitment to the people.
