Governor Mohammed highlighted the pivotal role of road development in economic activities and underscored the strategic importance of this project as it acts as a gateway to the commercial city of Kano and other northern regions. The initiative is also expected to contribute to reducing the high rate of accidents that result in the loss of lives and property.
The governor disclosed that the mobilization fee, equivalent to 30 percent of the project cost, has already been paid to enable the commencement of the work. The project will be jointly supervised by a team of engineers from the State Ministry of Works and Transport and the Federal Ministry of Works.
Governor Mohammed expressed regret over the historical neglect of the Ningi Emirate and the central zone in terms of adequate road networks by previous administrations. He emphasized that his administration is dedicated to rectifying these discrepancies by promoting inclusivity, engaging various sectors, and respecting the aspirations and needs of the state.
The governor stated, “There is so much neglect of the Ningi Emirate, and it is not that easy for one administration to address them, but I will try my best as the Turaki Ningi.”
The Commissioner of the Ministry of Works and Transport and a representative from the contracting firm provided insights into the project’s key components, such as the 7.3-meter carriageway and 2-meter-wide shoulders.
The Local Government Caretaker Committee Chairman, Ibrahim Zubairu, expressed gratitude to the governor for considering the long-awaited project as part of his rural and urban development initiatives, emphasizing the significance of the endeavor in reciprocating the support received from the community.
