Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has given the go-ahead for a major road upgrade in Funtua Local Government.
The ambitious project will see the dualization of Sokoto Road, starting from Jabiri Road (Zaria Road) to the Central Mosque roundabout, extending to Unguwar Dahiru—a stretch covering approximately 5.9 kilometers.
Aimed at easing traffic and improving accessibility, this project promises smoother commutes for residents and visitors, along with a boost to local commerce by ensuring a better flow of goods and services.
Construction is set to begin within weeks, with plans to minimize disruption for daily travelers.
