WE WILL COMPLETE ALL ON-GOING PROJECTS - GANDUJE PROMISES
Kano
state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has reassured people of the
state that all on-going projects inherited from the immediate past
administration in the state would be completed.
Inspecting
the two kilometer multi-billion Naira Sabon Gari Flyover in Kano
metropolis the governor explained that although the project slowed down
for a while, the contractors have been given more funds and the project
is progressing smoothly.
He
maintained that the project is significant because it will reduce
congestion along the busy Murtala Muhammad way – Ibrahim Taiwo road –
Sabon Gari axis in the central part of Kano metropolis.
Accompanied
by the state Commissioner for Works, Housing and Transport, Hon. Shehu
Haruna Lambu, the governor commended the contractors for quality work
and directed them to ensure that it is completed within the agreed
period.
Meanwhile,
Governor Ganduje has directed the contractor handling Hadejia road –
Dakata – Bela – Inusawa road, covering Nassarawa and Ungoggo local
government areas of the state, SKY Nigeria Ltd., to deploy more men and
equipment to the site to speed up the work.
The
governor, who visited the site to assess progress of the work lamented
that the pace of its execution is not satisfactory because the
contractor’s commitment seemed lukewarm.
“Considering
the length of this project which is about 10 kilometers, the prevailing
rainy season and the concentration of people in this domain and I don’t see how you can do this work with just three tippers and a grader”, he stated.
While
expressing concern over the hardship cased the people by the delay in
executing the project, the governor promised to visit the site again in
the next three days, adding that his administration would not condone
shoddy project execution.
In
another development, Governor Ganduje inspected on-going clearing of
culverts and drainages in Kano city, which entails 28 major drainages,
will cover 22. 22 kilometers and would cost the government about N39
million.
