The member of the House of Representative representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State, Rt. Hon Mrs Dorothy Mato with her colleagues in the House Committee on Works as part of their Oversight Functions, inspected road construction projects in the North Central of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which invariably covers her constituency.
The inspection covers the states of Kogi, Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau and was carried out by Hon Mrs Dorothy Mato, the Deputy Chairman of House Committee on Works, Hon Amuda-Kannike Abubakar Garba, Hon Loveth Idisi and Hon Austin Chukwukere.
