Kano, The Federal Government has begun the construction of a N47 billion Jakara – Wuju -Wuju road and sewage project in Kano metroplis.
The project would traverse Gwale, Kano Municipal, Dala and Fagge Local Government Areas of the state.
It is designed to control erosion and boost economic activities when completed.
Alhaji Yusuf Ata, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, said on Tuesday that the federal government took over the project on the request of the Kano state government.
He said the state government had already completed 850 metres of the work, while the federal government would fund the remaining 6.7 kilometres.
According to Ata, the state government will bear the cost of compensation of the affected properties.
He commended former Gov. Rabiu Kwankwaso for initiating the project in 2013, and thanked President Bola Tinubu for approving the fund.
“The initiative is a major intervention that underscores the federal government’s commitment to Kano State,” he said.
