The project dear to the residents has now given a facelift to the state capital.
Nigeria’s former president Goodluck Jonathan is the Special guest to inaugurate the project. He commended Tarabans for supporting Governor Ishaku which enabled him to execute many developmental projects.

The governor is thankful to his guest for giving him the opportunity to serve as a two-term minister in his administration.
