These projects, valued at N3.55 billion, are a crucial part of the urban renewal initiatives led by his administration. The extensive scope of this project includes the installation of solar street lights, the relocation of water facilities and electric poles, and the provision of compensation for affected households or individuals.

The dualization of the Kofar Soro – Kofar Guga route aims to streamline traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve overall safety and efficiency for commuters.
Furthermore, by strengthening our transportation infrastructure, the government is laying the foundation for sustained economic progress, attracting investment, and creating job opportunities.
This investment in road construction will not only enhance connectivity within the state but also facilitate trade and commerce with neighboring states.
With improved infrastructure, businesses can transport their goods more efficiently, reducing costs and increasing profitability.
Additionally, the construction of these roads will create employment opportunities for the local population, contributing to poverty reduction and socio-economic development.
The state government’s commitment to urban renewal and infrastructure development is commendable, as it paves the way for a brighter future for the people of Katsina State.
