Kano – August 23, 2026 – Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has commissioned 10 kilometres of newly completed roads in Sumaila and Wudil Local Government Areas, as part of efforts to improve infrastructure and promote balanced development across the state.
The Governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said in a statement on Saturday that the projects measured five kilometres each in Sumaila and Wudil.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremonies, Yusuf said the projects were initiated to address critical infrastructure needs at the grassroots and promote socio-economic development.
He said the roads, which are equipped with streetlights, would improve visibility at night and enhance the security of residents, traders and other road users.
According to him, the improved roads would also facilitate the movement of people, agricultural produce and goods, while reducing transportation difficulties and strengthening economic linkages between rural communities and major commercial centres.
Yusuf noted that the provision of streetlights would enable residents to extend commercial activities beyond daylight hours, creating greater opportunities for traders, small businesses and other economic activities.
He called on residents of the benefiting communities to protect and maintain the roads and streetlights, stressing that government infrastructure would deliver maximum benefits when properly safeguarded.
Residents and community leaders in Sumaila and Wudil expressed appreciation to Governor Yusuf for the projects, describing them as important interventions that would improve transportation, strengthen security and stimulate economic activities.
