The National Union of Roads Transport Workers (NURTW, on Tuesday urged the Federal Government to reconstruct the dilapidated Suleja-Minna road in Niger State.

The union members, who spoke in Minna, said that the road has become a death trap.

Alhaji Abubakar Isa, a representative of the group, said that the state of the road had continued to affect commercial activities within the area.

He said that farmers in villages along Dikko to Minna road face hardship transporting their crops to markets.

Isa added that reconstruction of the road would boost commercial activities especially in Dikko, Lambata, Paiko junction, Barin Doki and Kwakuti.

“We will continue to support the laudable policies and programs of the present administration at the federal and state governments for peace, progress and political growth of the country,’’ Isa said.

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’.
