Gombe State governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya alongside the Minister of Transportation, Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, has commissioned the newly completed Mega Motor Park, named ‘Ibrahim Dankwambo Mega Motor Park.’
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Governor Yahaya described the ultra-modern motor park as a landmark project that signified his administration’s commitment to providing top-tier transport infrastructure to the people of the state.
