President Tinubu to Commission Lafia Flyover, State Secretariat, and Township Road on June 25

Nasarawa State is poised for a historic moment as three landmark projects—the multi-billion naira Lafia Flyover and Underpass, a newly constructed State Secretariat complex, and a 4.5-kilometre township road—are set for commissioning on Tuesday, June 25, by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

These projects, now fully completed, represent a significant leap in Governor Abdullahi A. Sule’s infrastructural agenda, underscoring his administration’s commitment to urban modernization, administrative efficiency, and investment-driven development.

Transforming Lafia's Infrastructure Landscape

The Lafia Flyover and Underpass, the first of its kind in the state capital, is a strategic solution to the city's growing traffic demands. Designed to ease congestion, improve traffic flow, and enhance the movement of goods and people, the project is also seen as a major catalyst for economic activities within the capital and beyond.

Alongside this is the new State Secretariat, a modern administrative hub that will centralize government operations, reduce overhead costs, and improve service delivery. The facility is equipped with contemporary office infrastructure to support a more effective and coordinated public sector.

The commissioning will also feature the opening of a 4.5-kilometre Lafia township road, constructed to improve intra-city mobility, support local commerce, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents.

Governor Sule: Building a Future-Ready Nasarawa

Speaking ahead of the presidential visit, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule hailed the upcoming commissioning as a "turning point" for the state and a visible demonstration of his administration’s developmental drive.

“These projects are not just infrastructural investments; they are foundations for growth, progress, and prosperity,” the governor said. “We are building a Nasarawa that is attractive to investors, supportive of efficient governance, and responsive to the needs of our people.”

Governor Sule noted that each project is aligned with his administration’s broader strategy of creating an enabling environment for private sector participation, job creation, and sustainable urban development.

Federal Endorsement and Local Impact

President Bola Tinubu’s presence at the commissioning underscores the federal government’s recognition of Nasarawa State’s progress and its alignment with national development goals.

Residents and stakeholders across the state have welcomed the projects, citing their long-term value for the economy, government performance, and investor confidence.

As the state prepares to host the President, the commissioning of these flagship projects signals a new chapter in Nasarawa’s development journey—driven by vision, strategic leadership, and a clear commitment to a better future for all. Lafia's Infrastructure Landscape

THE ONDA EID SKIRMISHES, HON. MOHAMMED SANI OTTO AND THE FALSE NARRATIVE  My attention has been drawn to a viral video making the round on social media in which the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Trade, Industry and Investment, Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto was visibly sighted at Onda Eid Ground.  In the same video, one that was deliberately edited in part, to capture the area that presents a false narrative aimed at misinforming the unsuspecting public about what truly played out.  For the record, let me state that Hon. Mohammed Sani Otto chose to observe Eid-el Fitr prayer with his kinsmen at Onda, out of the love, respect and admiration he has for them, a usual disposition that characterizes him.  On getting to the Eid Ground, he was greeted by skirmishes involving loyalists of the Osu Onda, His Royal Highness, Alh. Abdullahi Kuku and Alh. Usman Ode, a one time contender to the exalted throne of Osu, as both were on ground. Typical of traditional tussles, in...

Memo to His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi A. Sule By Murtala Adogi Mohammed Subject: Strategic Recommendations for Nasarawa State’s Development Your Excellency, I commend your proactive decision to dissolve the Executive Council as part of efforts to reposition Nasarawa State for greater progress. This is an excellent opportunity to realign the state’s development priorities and governance structures. With the expiration of the Nasarawa Economic Development Strategy (NEDS) in 2023, it is critical to establish a new development framework before appointing new commissioners.  I recommend setting up a Nasarawa State Development Council to review NEDS I and fast-track the development of NEDS II. This will guide commissioners in creating sectoral plans aligned with the state’s vision. Here are some quick actionable steps: 1. Develop NEDS II Create a four-year strategic plan focusing on youth and gender-responsive initiatives, tackling unemployment, education, healthcare, ...
