Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has laid the foundation for an 85km road project worth about N21 billion in Madobi Local Government Area of the state.
The governor said the project was poised to redefine rural landscapes and enhance the livelihoods of the populace.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the 85km spans from Bridge Madobi to Madobi town, running through Yako to Kafin Mai Yaki, ending in Kiru Local Government Area.
Yusuf at the event on Monday explained that the project underscored the commitment to bolster transportation infrastructure, which was crucial for agricultural and economic growth in rural Kano.
Additionally, the governor said a second project featuring a 15km road and a 200-metre bridge from Madobi Town to Kubarachi to Kura was also underway.
“This will showcase the administration’s profound dedication to catalysing progress across the semi-urban and rural areas,” he said.

Yusuf articulated a bold timeline, while assuring the completion of the projects in 18 months and 24 months respectively.
“My vision aims not only at bridging urban-rural divides but also cultivating sustainable economic pathways, thus curbing rural-urban migration and fostering prosperity in hinterlands,” he said.
NAN reports that a former Kano State Governor, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, commended Yusuf’s effort toward the project while applauding the electorate for choosing wisely in the previous election.
