Kebbi State Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, has commenced the construction of additional township roads in four communities in Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, in a fresh push to improve infrastructure and ease transportation for residents.
The projects cover three kilometres of road in Aliero Estate, 1.6 kilometres in Bayan Azbir, three kilometres in Bayan Taxaco, as well as the upgrading of the road linking the Police Station to Nagari College.
Speaking during the flag-off ceremonies on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, Governor Idris described the projects as a demonstration of his administration’s commitment to fulfilling its promises and delivering development initiatives that directly benefit the people.
The governor expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for the opportunity to commence the projects, while appreciating residents for their patience, understanding and continued support for his administration.
He acknowledged that some people had previously doubted the government’s ability to execute the projects but assured them that his administration remained committed to translating its promises into tangible results.
Idris also commended the contractors handling the projects, expressing confidence in their ability to deliver durable roads that would meet the needs of the benefiting communities.
He reaffirmed his administration’s determination to sustain infrastructure development across Kebbi State, stressing the importance of projects that improve living conditions and promote economic activities.
12 Road Projects Approved
In his remarks, the Commissioner for Works, Engr. Abdullahi Umar Muslim, described Governor Idris as a hardworking and development-focused leader whose commitment to delivering on promises was evident in the execution of projects across the state.
Muslim disclosed that the roads were among 12 projects recently approved by the governor, explaining that some had already been flagged off, while others were scheduled to commence as part of the administration’s ongoing infrastructure expansion programme.
According to the commissioner, clearance work had already begun on two of the three roads in Aliero Estate, expressing optimism that the contractor would complete the assignment within three months.
He assured the governor and residents that the Ministry of Works would closely supervise the projects to ensure compliance with approved standards, quality requirements and completion timelines.
Residents to Benefit from Improved Access
The new road projects are expected to improve connectivity within the beneficiary communities, reduce transportation difficulties and facilitate the movement of people, goods and services.
Upon completion, the roads are also expected to strengthen Birnin Kebbi’s urban road network, stimulate commercial activities and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the affected communities.
The projects represent another step in the Kebbi State Government’s efforts to expand infrastructure and improve the quality of life of residents through the provision of essential public facilities.
