He further stated that the terrible condition of the road has hindered the socio-economic development of the area as many businessmen could not pligh the road to transact business .
'You know Gombe-Yola road is the worst road in the whole federation; this has made we legislators from the north-eastern zone to ensure that the road project was included in the 2008 budget. Our major concern is to ensure that the road is rehabilitated' he said.
