Re-award Panyam-Bokkos-Wamba Road to Avoid Collapse – D’yong Mangut Tells Federal Government.

26th August, 2018.

Mr. D’yong Mangut, an activist has called on the Federal Government to as a matter of importance re-award the construction of the stalled Panyam – Bokkos – Wamba road which connects Plateau and Nassarawa State to avoid a total collapse of the road.

He stated that the revocation of the contract by the then Government of Goodluck Jonathan has lead to the formation of gullies and water flow channels which never existed before the work commenced and which now threatens the existence of the road that was motorable in the past.

To complicate matters for motorists who ply the route, there was no alternative road created while work went on. The road has now been abandoned for over 6 years due to litigation between the Federal Government and STATCO Company after the contract was terminated. The road is now a nightmare to everyone. The huge agricultural community that the road serves has been further cut off with no outlet, he said.

He urged the Federal Government to avert the looming danger ahead by engaging the contractor in an out of court settlement and re-award the contract to a more competent firm so as to reduce the sufferings of the people of Mangu, Bokkos, and Wamba LGAs in Plateau and Nassarawa States respectively.
