Yusuf Approves Capital, Recurrent Projects for Kano
In a pivotal move to elevate the living standards of its residents, the Kano State Executive Council, led by the visionary Governor Abba Yusuf, has given the green light to a slew of transformative capital and recurrent projects. These investments, totaling billions of Naira, are set to usher in a new era of progress and prosperity in the state.
The highlight of this ambitious endeavor is the construction of a groundbreaking interchange underpass and flyover at Dangundi, representing a colossal N15,974,357,204 investment. It’s a testament to Kano’s commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and facilitating smoother transportation.
The grand vision extends further with the Tal’udu Interchange Clover Flyover, a marvel in the making, demanding an investment of N15,455,507,265. These soaring structures promise to redefine the cityscape and streamline traffic flow.
But it’s not just about monumental overpasses. The state has also allocated N3,360,084,380 for the construction of covered sewage conduit/road along Jakara-Kwarin Gogau River, N1,579,755,966 for the Kofar Waika-Unguwar Dabai-Yan Kuje western bypass road, and N1,350,460,874 for the construction of Unguwa Uku-Yan awaki-Limawa junction.
Kabo Local Government will witness a significant transformation with the completion of the Kanye-Kabo-Dugabau road, supported by a budget of N820,262,071. Meanwhile, Kofar Dawanau-Kwanar Madugu road’s dualization in phase II is allocated N802,695,617.
On the lighter side, pedestrians will soon enjoy safer crossings with a re-award of contracts for pedestrian bridges across the state, valued at N458,443,067. The streets will also be bathed in a new light with the rehabilitation of metropolitan street lights and traffic lights, funded at N420,000,000.
These developments extend beyond infrastructure. Health services are in focus, with N53,654,223 allocated for the procurement of commodities and drugs to provide free Accident and Emergency, maternal, and childcare services. Pediatric care is bolstered with N40,820,564 for drugs and laboratory reagents at Hasiya Bayero Pediatric Hospital.
Furthermore, the state is committed to vaccination campaigns, dedicating N37,005,000 to settle government counterpart funding for three rounds of Diphtheria mass vaccination in 22 local government areas.
Lastly, the cultural and educational spheres are not forgotten, as the reconstruction of a burnt theater at the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies is set to breathe new life into the arts, backed by an allocation of N56,763,475.
In the end, all these projects are part of Kano State’s unwavering dedication to improving the quality of life for its residents, and they represent a colossal leap towards a brighter and more prosperous future.
