As part of efforts to enhance rural development and improve market access for agricultural produce, Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has commissioned the newly constructed 9-kilometer Fulatan-Zarewa-Dan Guzuri road in Rogo Local Government.
The project was executed under the Kano Agropastoral Development Project (KSADP) to facilitate transportation, boost economic activities, and support local farmers.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, in Kano.
Speaking at the commissioning, Governor Yusuf emphasized that the road would strengthen market linkages for rural products, support smallholder farmers, and contribute to poverty reduction and food security in the state.
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to revitalizing abandoned projects, particularly the 5-kilometer road projects left incomplete by the immediate past administration.
He assured that all remaining projects across Kano’s local governments would be completed within the 2025 fiscal year.
The governor also highlighted the state government’s ongoing investment in road infrastructure, including the rehabilitation and asphalt overlay of major roads across Kano.
He expressed appreciation to the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Lives and Livelihood Fund (LLF), and other development partners for their contributions to infrastructure projects in Kano.
He noted that their collaboration had facilitated the construction of 70 kilometers of roads connecting several communities across the state’s three senatorial zones.
He called on residents of the benefiting communities to make good use of the new road and ensure its maintenance.
He further reaffirmed his administration’s readiness to collaborate with any organization committed to making Kano a better place than it was before 2023.
