As part of the effort to strengthen the urban renewal project, Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has today flagged off the reconstruction of Zungeru Road within the Sabon-Gari area in Fagge Local Government.
The 3.6-kilometre road project was initially awarded for construction during the second tenure of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso but was abandoned by the preceding administration in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, in Kano yesterday.
Delivering his address, Governor Yusuf said the reconstruction of Zungeru Road is part of the government’s steadfast commitment to creating critical infrastructure for the better living of Kano citizens.
He added that Kano, as an emerging megacity, deserves high-quality roads, assuring the government’s commitment to enhancing people’s lives through the execution of key developmental projects.
The governor tasked the contractor handling the road project to ensure timely completion and strict adherence to the stipulated rules and guidelines.
He assured contractors that prompt payment of contracts would be completed.
Yusuf appreciated the support and cooperation of the Sabon-Gari Community to the present administration. He urged for the sustenance of the tempo for the rapid socio-economic development of Kano.
