A resident of Agbashi Ward in Doma Local Government Area has appealed to Governor Abdullahi Sule to prioritize the completion of the long-delayed Idadu–Agbashi Road in Ekye Area Administrative Council.

The appeal was made in an open letter dated July 3, 2026, by Comrade Isaac Sekpe Shelane of Ikende, Agbashi Ward.

In the letter addressed to the Governor, Shelane commended the administration for road projects across Lafia, Akwanga, Keffi, and Karu, noting that “the improvements in roads and various projects clearly demonstrate your commitment to the welfare of the people.”

He, however, said the Idadu–Agbashi Road, which serves as a major access route to Agbashi, the headquarters of Ekye Area Administrative Council, has remained incomplete for years.

“Agbashi serves as the headquarters of the Ekye Area Administrative Council, and it is a route that many individuals utilize daily. Currently, during this rainy season, the condition of the road has deteriorated significantly,” Shelane stated.

The community advocate said the poor state of the road is already affecting livelihoods and essential services.

“Vehicles, motorcycles, and farmers are struggling to navigate it, which adversely impacts commerce, healthcare, and the overall well-being of our community,” he added.

Shelane expressed confidence in the Governor’s commitment to equitable development across Nasarawa State and urged immediate action.

“Your Excellency, we have faith in your leadership… We earnestly request your assistance in completing the Idadu–Agbashi road. Its completion would greatly benefit Ekye Area Administrative Council and the entire Doma LGA,” the letter read.

Agbashi is a key agrarian hub in Doma LGA, and the road links several farming communities to Doma town and the Lafia–Makurdi corridor.
