Kano: Gov Yusuf to spend N15.97 billion on two interchange bridges
The Kano government has awarded an N15.97 billion contract to construct two interchange bridges in the metropolis at the Dan-Agundi and Tal’udu junction.
Information commissioner Baba Dantiye announced this in a statement on Friday.
In its recent meeting, the State Executive Council (SEC) approved the construction of the two interchange bridges, according to the statement.
The projects were designed to decongest the roads, ease traffic flow, boost business and commercial activities, and stimulate the general economic growth of the state.
The statement said the contract for the projects was awarded to Messrs CGC Nigeria Limited at the cost of N15.97 billion to be jointly financed by the state and local government councils.
“The state government assures the general public of timely execution of the two projects and initiation of more public-oriented and developmental projects in both rural and urban areas for the improvement of the general wellbeing of the people,” said the statement.
The Kano government advised motorists flying the affected roads to use the alternative routes and bear the temporary inconvenience the execution of the projects might have caused them.
