The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, on Monday flag off of 85 kilometre network of roads including a bridge valued at over N21 billion.
The governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Tofa, in a press statement said the projects were aimed towards redefining rural landscapes and enhancing the livelihoods of the populace.
The statement read, “The epicenter of this transformative initiative includes a 70 kilometre expanse of the bridge from Madobi to Madobi town, linking Yako to Kafin Mai Yaki and culminating in Kiru.
“This venture underscores the commitment to bolster transportation infrastructure crucial for agricultural and economic growth in rural Kano.
Additionally, a second project featuring a 15km road and a 200-metre bridge from Madobi town to Kubarachi to Kura showcases the governor’s profound dedication to catalysing progress across the semi-urban and rural areas,” the statement added.
In a ceremony graced by distinguished guests, including the eminent national leader and former NNPP presidential candidate, the governor articulated a bold timeline, assuring completion of the projects within 18 and 24 months respectively.
Governor Yusuf’s vision aims not only to bridge urban-rural divides but also to cultivate sustainable economic pathways, thus curbing rural-urban migration and fostering prosperity in the hinterlands.
During the event, former Kano state Governor Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso delivered a resounding endorsement of governor Yusuf’s governance, applauding the electorate for choosing wisely in the previous elections
