President Adama Barrow has lifted the lid on a conversation he had with his finance minister over the Hakalang Road.
The president on Saturday presided over the laying of the foundation stone for the construction of the key Nuimi road.
At the event, the president detailed how he shared with his finance minister his uncompromising stance over the road.
The president said in Buniadu: ” I was teasing the finance minister. I told him I would go and rob a bank and build the Hakalang road if that’s what it takes.
“I told him so anyone in my government that should strive and ensure Hakalang is achieved, be sure that ‘each of you, it is your head versus Hakalang’s’. Hakalang happens, we continue or Hakalang doesn’t happen, we would not continue [working together].”
