The Plateau Government has earmarked N21.5 billion for the execution of various projects in the works and transport sub-sector in 2016.

The state’s Commissioner for Finance, Mrs Tamwakat Weli, said this in an interview with the New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Jos.

According to her, the sum represents 29.4 per cent of the N73.4 billion earmarked for capital expenditure for the 2016 fiscal year.

She explained that the money would be used for the completion of ongoing road projects and initiation of new ones.

The commissioner further said that the state had allocated N400 million as intervention fund for the upgrade of the Yakubu Gowon Airport.

NAN reports that under the 2016 budget, 33 road projects were identified for construction and rehabilitation.
