Inauguration
By Aminu Garko
Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has commissioned a 7.3km road and solar-powered streetlight project worth over four billion naira in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area, which was abandoned by the previous administration.
The project was initially started by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s administration in 2012 but was left incomplete by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje during his eight-year tenure.
Governor Yusuf expressed his delight at fulfilling one of his campaign promises, stating that the project will significantly enhance the socio-economic well-being of the community.
The road project was revalidated last year with H&M Nigeria Limited, the contractor, to complete and deliver it within the first quarter of 2025.
Hon. Sani Ahmad Mairago, Chairman of Dawakin Kudu Local Government, praised the governor for prioritizing and completing the project, describing it as a vital development for the local community.
This commissioning is part of Governor Yusuf’s efforts to develop rural areas, including the recent flag-off of a 70km road construction project across ten communities in the state
