The project was commissioned by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Tinubu at the event.
“Last week Friday, the Speaker represented the President in commissioning the Kabusa-Ketti Road. This has never happened before, and it clearly demonstrates the love you have for residents of the satellite towns,” Wike said.
The Minister also praised President Tinubu for keeping his promise to bring development to rural communities.He added, “When we planned to begin these projects, I approached Mr. President and suggested it would mean a lot if he could personally visit the rural areas.
He responded, ‘We won’t just come once — we’ll come once, twice, three times,’ and he has fulfilled that promise.”
