Kano State government has attributed the strides it has recorded in infrastructure, education, healthcare delivery and other sectors to strong collaboration and support from the federal government.
While addressing journalists during the Presidential Media Team tour of government projects in North-West, Kano State commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, said apart from support, federal government projects such as the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano superhighway were impacting the lives of the people.
According to him, the Zaria-Kano (Section Three) stretch of the road has reduced travel time ‘to and fro’ the state to other parts of the country and boosted economic activities.
“This is a federal road that is very important to us in Kano.
“We are a major beneficiary and pleased with the progress of the rehabilitation, which is nearing completion. Commuters can now travel more smoothly, even at night, particularly along the Dawakin Tofa axis into Kano.”
During a team and journalists’ visit to some projects, the commissioner for works, Marwan Aminu, said that, through increased federal allocations and internally generated revenue, the Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf-led administration initiated legacy infrastructure projects.
Aminu stated that the present administration initiated the soon-to-be-completed multi-billion Naira Dan Agundi and Tal’udu flyover bridges to ease traffic congestion in the nation’s centre of commerce,” he said.
The works commissioner also said Tal’udu is one of the notorious junctions in Kano, and that with the construction of a partial cloverleaf flyover, the state government has solved about 80% of the traffic congestion in the area.
