The administration of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has successfully completed the construction of the 14-kilometre Sukur Road in Madagali Local Government Area, marking yet another milestone in the government’s commitment to infrastructural renewal and rural development.
The newly completed road, fitted with modern 12-cell and 6-cell culverts, now provides a durable and reliable access route to the historic Sukur Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its unique terraced farmlands, traditional architecture, and cultural heritage.
Beyond improving mobility, the Sukur Road project holds immense economic and social significance. By providing smooth access to Sukur, the road unlocks new opportunities for tourism development, boosts local businesses, and strengthens cultural exchange. Visitors from across Nigeria and the world can now more easily reach the site, thereby increasing tourist traffic, generating revenue for the state, and creating jobs for local communities through hospitality, crafts, and transport services.
For the people of Madagali, this road represents more than infrastructure, it is a lifeline that connects farmers to markets, facilitates the movement of goods and services, and enhances security presence in the area. By linking a rural community with both national and international recognition, Governor Fintiri’s administration is not only preserving history but also transforming it into an engine for economic growth and sustainable development.
This landmark project reinforces the Governor’s vision of making Adamawa a hub of connectivity, culture, and commerce.
