Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano has inaugurated a newly constructed nine-kilometre Fulatan-Zarewa-Dan Guzuri road in Rogo LGA.

Mr Yusuf, in a statement on Thursday, said the road construction was aimed at boosting access to markets, transporting farm produce and enhancing rural development.

According to the statement, the project was executed under the Kano Agropastoral Development Project to facilitate transportation, boost economic activities, and support local farmers.

It said the road would enhance markets’ linkages, supporting smallholder farmers and contributing to poverty reduction and food security in the state.

The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to reviving abandoned projects.

Mr Yusuf said the Kano government was investing in road infrastructure, including the rehabilitation and asphalt overlay of major roads across Kano.

He commended the Islamic Development Bank, the Lives and Livelihood Fund, and other development partners’ contributions to Kano’s infrastructure projects.

Mr Yusuf called on the residents of the benefiting communities to make good use of the new road and ensure its maintenance. The governor also reaffirmed his administration’s readiness to collaborate with any organisation committed to improving Kano.
