The projects were initiated following a request by Benue State Governor, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia, who visited Sen. Umahi’s office seeking support for the construction of a flyover and other road projects in the state.

In response, Gov. Alia expressed optimism that the newly constructed roads would create a conducive environment for economic activities to flourish.

He noted the positive impact on farmers, providing them with improved access to markets, and facilitating easy commuting for the general public.

]Gov. Alia emphasized that the flyover at Wurukum roundabout would enhance the aesthetic appeal of the state capital while alleviating traffic congestion around the foot of the Makurdi bridge.
