He said his administration is determined to ensure that Sokoto township roads are pothole-free. It will be recalled that all major township roads were in very bad condition, and begging for attention when Governor Aliyu assumed office on May 29 last year.
On rural roads, Governor Aliyu said a number of inter-local government and rural roads have been completed while contracts have been awarded for others covering 168.88 kilometres of asphalt and 187 kilometres of feeder roads across the state.
