Moses Ada Egashi
Alade, a traditional ruler in Nasarawa State, has appealed to the
governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma, to take his community’s land dispute case
before the National Boundary Commission.

Mr Alade is the
Utushoho of Agbashi, a border between Benue and Nasarawa States. He
made the appeal in his palace on Monday, during a meeting of the
traditional council.

The traditional
ruler also asked the governor to expedite the completion of the road
that links the towns of Doma Akwata to Agbashi on the Benue border. He
said past governments had failed to complete the road, adding that if
completed, it would open up the area for socio-economic activities.

Mr Alade also wants
the Universal Basic Education board to post teachers and structural
materials to the area. He lamented that since the construction of a
general hospital by the past administration, the community has not been
able staff it.

The governor met with the traditional ruler yesterday, during his state-wide “meet the people” tour.

Danladi Egege, an
Ekye resident, appealed to the governor to hurry the contractor
handling the Doma Akwata to Agbashi road and ensure its completion
before the end of this year. He also wants workers who quit the site to
return.

After Ekye, the state governor will proceed to Doma, his home town.
