Kano
state government’s determination to provide new public infrastructure
and upgrade existing ones is not only aimed at improving the welfare of
the citizenry but also to attract direct foreign investment.
The
state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje stated this while inspecting
construction of Gidan Boss road, Sharada/Mabobi underpass, Ultra Modern
Skills Acquisition Center and the first phase of 2,000 housing units at
Amana City respectively on Thursday, assuring that the projects would
change the face of Kano.
He
assured that all the ongoing projects would be executed according
specification and would go a long way in easing transportation and
economic activities in Kano city, which is fast becoming a mega city.
"Business
activities in Kano state are no longer for the inhabitants alone,
people within and outside the country especially from west and Central
African do business in the state. Now, we want to attract more people
from other parts of the world to come and enjoy the lucrative business
environment in the state," Ganduje reaffirmed.
The
governor maintained that his administration intends to transform the
state to a true mega city by providing modern infrastructure similar to
other developing nations, pointing out that for instance, the
Sharada/Madobi underpass is one of the structures found in cities like
Dubai.
He
said when completed, apart from beautifying the state, the underpass
would facilitate unhindered transportation, promising that Panshekara
road, which is linked to the bridge would also be dualized.
Governor
Ganduje revealed that Gidan Boss road which links Katsina road and
Kofar Mazugal would provide a short cut for motorists, pointing out that
automobile and mechanical businesses being conducted in the area would
equally be enhanced.
At
the Skills acquisition center near Amana City, he said that about 20
different vocational endeavors would be thought to prospective
beneficiaries with formal and informal talents.
On
the 2,000 housing units, Governor Ganduje said that his administration
designed the houses purposely of low income earners at the cost,
explaining that interested buyers have a chance to pay in installments.
In
his remarks, the state Commissioner of Works, Housing and Transport,
Alhaji Shehu Haruna Lambu who conducted the governor round the project
sites explained that Gidan Boss road and the Madobi underpass are
progressing smoothly.
