Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa on Monday reopened the rehabilitated Birnin-Kudu-Sundumina to Kiyawa Road in the Birnin-Kudu Local Government of the state.

The 47.4-kilometre road was awarded to Alren Construction Company at N11.5 billion.

Mr Namadi said the current administration was committed to constructing and rehabilitating deplorable roads in the state.

He said the rehabilitation would ease transportation and open the communities in the local governments and their neighbouring states to businesses.

Mr Namadi said, “We have completed about 23 out of the 26 uncompleted roads we inherited from the previous administration.

“This is the 47th amongst the many road contracts we have awarded in the last year, at the cost of over N300 billion.”

The first executive governor of Jigawa, Ali Sa’ad, who was at the inauguration, commended the administration for the rehabilitation of the road.

The former governor reiterated that the road would promote businesses and enhance transportation with other towns and states.

Mr Sa’ad expressed gratitude to the government on behalf of the people of Birnin-Kudu and appealed to the residents to support the current administration.
