Residents of Kilankwa community in Kwali Area Council have called on the authorities of the council to complete the construction of the road that leads to their community.
Speaking to our correspondent yesterday, Abdullahi Magaji, a resident of the community, lamented that the Council had started constructing the road, but had abandoned it midway.
He said the construction company in charge of the road had dug many parts of it and had since stopped working, adding that “now the holes and the dust is making traveling on the road difficult task.”
Another resident, Bala Yunusa, told our correspondent that if the rainy season begins without the road being fully constructed, movements of the residents would be affected as well as their economy.
Yunusa said Kilankwa residents take their farm produce to markets in Gwagwalada, Abaji and Kwali for sale and that “there would be no way for us to do that if the road is bad if rain begins to fall.”
He, therefore, called on Daniel Ibrahim-led administration of Kwali Area Council to intervene so as not to allow the community to fall into economic crisis.
He said: “We know that the construction of the road did not begin during his administration and it was not his administration that started it, but government is a continuous process so we expect his intervention.”
