Governor Yusuf inaugurates N4 billion road in Dawakin Kudu
Governor Abba Yusuf has inaugurated a 7.3-kilometre road and a solar-powered streetlight project worth over N4 billion in Dawakin Kudu LGA.
This was announced in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature.
According to him, the project was originally initiated by the administration of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso in 2012, but it was left uncompleted by his administration.
Mr Yusuf expressed joy at fulfilling one of his campaign promises.
”Today, we witnessed the realisation of a commitment made to the people of Dawakin Kudu,” said the governor. “I am delighted to inaugurate this project, which will significantly enhance the socio-economic well-being of the community.”
The road project value was revalidated in 2024 under an agreement with H&M Nigeria Ltd., the contractor, to complete and deliver it within the first quarter of 2025.
The chairman of Dawakin Kudu LGA, Sani Mairago, commended the governor for prioritising and completing the project, describing it as a vital development for the local community.
