The Kano State Government is determined to finish the construction of five-kilometre dual carriageway projects in all 44 local government areas of the state, which were left incomplete by the previous governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
During a courtesy visit by the new leadership of the State Correspondents’ Chapel on Thursday, the Commissioner for Works, Housing, and Infrastructure, Marwan Ahmad, made this commitment.
He assured that under the leadership of Governor Abba Yusuf, the state government would ensure the completion of these road projects. The objective is to improve transportation and accessibility within the local government headquarters for both pedestrians and vehicles.
“The state government will do everything possible within the limited resources to complete the road project to ease human and vehicular movements,” Ahmad said.
The Commissioner for Works, Housing, and Infrastructure, Marwan Ahmad, further stated that in addition to completing the five-kilometre dual carriageway projects, the Kano State Government is resolute in reopening the 26 schools that were shut down during the previous administration.
The government believes that by reopening these educational institutions, they can contribute positively to the development and advancement of the state as a whole.
“Most of these schools used to provide job opportunities to our teeming unemployed women and youths,” the commissioner said.
He said some of the schools included Informatics Institute, Kura, Sports Institute, Karfi, Skills Acquisition Centre Gabasawa and Poultry Institute, Makoda, among others.
“So, the government has started serious work and is making an effort to restore the lost glory of the state,” the commissioner added.
The immediate past government had accused the administration of Rabi’u Kwankwaso of leaving a liability of over N54.4bn for the five-kilometre road projects across the 44 LGAs.
Ganduje was also the deputy governor and the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs during Kwankwaso’s administration.
