Biu Forum, a Development Association of Biu Emirate of Borno state has cautioned the Federal Government to be weary of awarding the contract of the Biu- Gombe road to fraudulent contractors.
It could be recalled that the Federal Government had in November 2017 approved the construction of the 117 kilometers road at N27.23 bn.
The Forum at a press conference in Kaduna over the weekend said it is on record that previously, the contract for the construction of the Biu- Gombe road had been awarded to unreliable contractors.
The group alleged that past contractors collected mobilization money and disappeared without doing any appreciable work.
The chairman, Board of Trustees of Biu Forum, Engr. Ibrahim Usman, said the importance of the rehabilitating the road is innumerable, as the road connects five state’s capitals.
