According to the Deputy Majority Leader, Alhaji Dahiru Zarewa, the agency, when established, will be responsible for construction and rehabilitation of rural roads.

”The essence is to facilitate and improve the socio-economic wellbeing of the rural populace.

”With good rural roads, agriculture, which is the prominent engagement of the people, will get a boost,” he said.

In another development, the assembly announced the receipt of a letter from Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje, seeking approval for the appointment of Dr Ibrahim Yakasai as the Chief Medical Director of Muhammad Abdullahi Wase Teaching Hospital.
