Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State said contractors handling five kilometres road projects in all the headquarters of the 44 local government areas have been mobilised back to sites.

Former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso’s administration initiated the project.

According to a statement by his press secretary,  Bature Dawakin-Tofa, on Saturday,  Mr Yusuf spoke during a meeting with the 44 local government council chairs and secretaries of four grassroots mobilisation platforms. 

The groups are Community Re-Orientation Committee (CRC), Lafiya Jari, Kano PRO-PA and Kwankwasiyya.

He explained that the road projects would further enhance socio-economic activities in the local government headquarters.

The governor said the present administration would continue to accord priority attention to education, health, agriculture and the construction of fly-overs and underpasses to ease vehicular movements.

He said others were the renovation of hospitals and schools in all 44 local government areas of the state.

Mr Yusuf disclosed that arrangements have been concluded to launch an appeal fund for security agencies operating in the state to provide them with the needed vehicles, communication gadgets and other interventions to perform optimally.

The governor appreciated the support and cooperation accorded to his administration by the state’s people and solicited for the sustenance of the tempo for the sustainable peace, stability and prosperity of the state.
