Otti said significant changes would occur in the area after the completion of the road and assured citizens of the state that the road will be completed within one year.
He said, “This project is therefore not just about creating access to the towns and villages along this corridor, it is more about reviving dormant economic assets, opening new horizons and reigniting the dreams that once starred the souls of our fathers.
“I would like to inform you that just a few days ago, we got the good news that the Federal Government has approved a modular refinery which will be cited inside the AIIP. That modular refinery will be built by H.I.S. Refinery and Petrochemical Company Limited.
