Nasarawa Governor Sule Inaugurates Healthcare Centre and Road

Governor Abdullahi Sule stated that local government areas in Nasarawa State have been operating with full autonomy since 2019, allowing them to implement projects independently. He made this announcement in Lafia during the inauguration of a Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) and a road project by the Lafia local government area.

Sule clarified that claims of local government autonomy beginning under President Bola Tinubu are incorrect, asserting that his administration has empowered councils to manage their finances and execute impactful projects. He praised Lafia LGA Chairman Haliru Arabo for constructing a standard PHC in the Government Reserved Area (GRA) without state funding.

Sule also mentioned the inauguration of roads built to federal standards in various local governments. He expressed discomfort with projects being named after him while in office, stating that the 'A.A.

Sule Legacy' inscription is meant for documentation. Additionally, he announced the resumption of work on the Kwandere-Karshi road at a renegotiated cost of about N40 billion.
