When contacted An official of the Bauchi State Ministry of Housing and environment who doesnt want his name to be mention said The Governor has the intention of carrying out the project. What people need to know is that whatever they see it happened is the will of God and as a Muslims we have to take that in our heart, its not intentional that the work has not commenced but its in the heart of the government both from the lower level of the government to the highest in the state, that road is in the mind of the governor since he personally followed the road during his reelection campaign,

I am assuring you that not only the road in chiroma constituency all roads in Misau local Government would be constructed, there is a plan for that, some of the toads there is a plan  with  donor agencies in collaboration with the state government, they are going to construct them and the governor has already put all machineries in motion to ensure its success, he has already met his own condition but the donor agencies have their own processes which takes time and that the governor has done his own part”
