A new chapter of development is unfolding in Potiskum as the North East Development Commission (NEDC) accelerates construction of the much-needed asphaltic road linking the New Arikime axis to the Potiskum–Gashua highway.

This project is not just an infrastructure upgrade; it is a direct outcome of Hon. Salisu Muktari’s strategic, community-driven leadership. His ability to connect local concerns with national development institutions has once again delivered results where they matter most.

Hon. Salisu Muktari played a decisive role by guiding the NEDC’s technical team through on-site assessment, ensuring the Commission understood the urgency of the problem and the impact the road would have on the people; his intervention transformed a long-standing community need into a priority project now visibly taking shape.

Today, as construction advances, the road is generating widespread optimism; residents say it represents a turning point, a shift from years of appeals to an era of real, measurable progress. Traders, commuters, and families who rely on the corridor already see the benefits of a smoother, safer, and more efficient link to the Potiskum–Gashua highway.

Across the community, this project is being celebrated as a hallmark of Hon. Salisu Muktari’s representation leadership that works quietly but delivers loudly, leadership that prioritizes solutions over speeches.

People describe the ongoing construction as “Muktari’s politics of performance,” a style that focuses on results, responsiveness, and genuine service to the grassroots.

The message from Potiskum is clear: when Hon. Salisu Muktari engages, outcomes follow. When he speaks for the people, development answers.

As the asphalt spreads and the road steadily takes shape, the residents of Arikime are witnessing the practical impact of a representative who uses influence, relationships, and credibility to attract meaningful development.

With the Arikime Potiskum–Gashua link road now becoming a reality, Hon. Salisu Muktari continues to demonstrate what effective political leadership looks like: purposeful, people-focused, and anchored in projects that uplift communities and strengthen the future of Potiskum.
