According to the commissioner, the administration is prioritising infrastructure development as a strategy to stimulate economic growth, support agricultural activities, attract investments and create employment opportunities for residents.
He explained that improved road networks would facilitate the transportation of farm produce to markets, reduce movement difficulties and strengthen commercial activities across the state.
