Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has given the green light for the acquisition of Innoson luxury buses, amounting to over N10 billion, aimed at enhancing the state’s transportation system. The announcement was made during yesterday’s State Executive Council meeting, led by acting governor Professor Kaletapwa Farauta.
According to Mrs. Neido Geoffrey, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Innoson Nigeria Limited has been contracted to deliver 58-seater IVM buses to the state. The intention behind this move is to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal on the state’s residents.
In a separate update, the state government has advised individuals residing in flood-prone regions to consider relocating in order to prevent potential flooding consequences due to the discharge of water from the Lagdo Dam into the River Benue.
“This is to inform the general public and most especially those living along the River Benue valley to relocate to safe places to avoid flooding with its devastating effects on lives and properties.
This is as a result of the release of water from the Lagdo-dam over River Benue,” the state government said.
