KANO – The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, on Friday said that the Federal Government has approved the sum of ₦19 billion for the resumption of construction work on the Kano–Gwarzo–Dayi Road Project.
Senator Barau who disclosed this in his verified Facebook page, stated that the approval aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises the delivery of quality infrastructure with direct impact on communities across the country.
Barau explained that the approval followed his meeting with the Deputy Managing Director of CGC Nigeria Limited, Mr. Lv Haiming, in Abuja, where final issues surrounding the stalled project were resolved.
He said “I am pleased to announce that all arrangements have now been finalised, and the sum of ₦19 billion has been approved and awarded for the execution of the Kano–Gwarzo–Dayi Road Project”.
The Deputy President of the Senate noted that construction work on the road, which had earlier slowed down, would soon resume, adding that the contractor has been fully mobilised to return to site.
Barau described the Kano–Gwarzo–Dayi Road as a critical infrastructure linking several communities in Kano State and neighbouring areas, stressing that its completion would significantly improve movement and accessibility.
“The road is a vital link that will enhance connectivity, boost economic activities, and improve the wellbeing of our people,” he said.
He reaffirmed his commitment to working with the Tinubu administration to ensure that key projects affecting the lives of citizens are completed on schedule, assuring residents of the area that the Federal Government remains committed to their development.
