Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, on Sunday launched the construction of 11 township roads in Zaria and Sabon Gari local government areas. He urged residents to reward President Bola Tinubu with 98 per cent of their votes in the 2027 general election for his support of development projects in the state.
At the flag-off ceremony, Mr Sani said President Tinubu has always backed Kaduna State with investments in infrastructure and other development efforts. He added that the state should show appreciation at the polls.
“President Bola Tinubu has stood firmly with Kaduna State by supporting critical infrastructure and development projects.
“Kaduna owes President Tinubu 98 per cent of its votes in the 2027 elections because of his unwavering commitment to the development of our state,” the governor said.
The projects will take place across four locations in Zaria and Sabon Gari. They are part of Phase II of the Kaduna State Urban Renewal and Rural Transformation Programme. Mothercat Limited and CGC Nigeria Limited will handle the construction.
The governor said the roads will improve connectivity, help people and goods move around, stimulate business, and create more economic chances for residents.
Mr Sani expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome he received from residents, many of whom stayed at the venue despite heavy rain.
“I was deeply humbled by the warmth, affection and overwhelming reception accorded to me by the good people of Zaria and Sabon Gari,” he said.
“That thousands of our people stood patiently in the rain to welcome us was more than a ceremonial gesture; it was a powerful expression of hope, resilience and confidence in our shared vision for a greater Kaduna State.”
Residents cheered the governor during the ceremony, showing their support and hope that the projects would improve transportation, boost businesses, and enhance living conditions in their communities.
The governor shared that his administration has awarded 150 road projects covering over 1,355 kilometres across Kaduna State’s 23 local government areas since he took office on 29 May 2023, with many projects already completed.
He also mentioned that the government had previously commissioned roads like the Audi, Kako, Magajiya, Kasuwan Amaru, Dogon Bauchi, Lakiyeyi, and Hanwan Yan Goro in Zaria.
Mr Sani noted that beyond road construction, his administration is investing in healthcare, education, agriculture, and other key areas.
“Our vision extends beyond constructing roads. It is about connecting communities to opportunity, restoring public confidence and building a more prosperous, inclusive and united Kaduna State where no community is left behind,” he said.
The event had notable attendees, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen; the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Bamalli; former Kaduna State Governor Ramalan Yero; and other political, traditional, and community leaders.
The roads include: Babban Dodo, Durumi, Kofan Kuyanbana Road, Rimin Tsiwa, Kofan Gayan (Secretariat, Albarkawa, Kaura) Road, Maje Road, Tudun Wada, Turunku Road (Sabon Gari), Waff Road (Sabon Gari), Layin Radio Road, Tudun Wada, Aba Road, Tudun Wada Turunku Road (Sabon Layi, Tudun Wada), Dadda’u Road (Layin M.
