‘Conduits for economic growth’ — Uba Sani inaugurates 12 roads in Kaduna

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, says the 12 asphaltic roads he inaugurated within the Kaduna metropolis will serve as conduits for economic growth.

The governor said the completed roads would facilitate connectivity and accessibility for residents, farmers, business owners, and other road users in Kaduna and its environs.

“Well-constructed roads are the backbone of economic activities, enhancing transportation, connecting people and businesses, and connecting farmers and citizens to markets, schools, and healthcare facilities,” he said.

“The commissioning symbolises the progress we are making together as a community and reflects our collective aspirations for a better tomorrow.

Sani urged all stakeholders, including community leaders, local government officials, and citizens, “to take ownership of these roads”.

“Let us work together to ensure they are well-maintained and utilised to their fullest potential. These roads are not just for transportation; they are conduits for economic growth, social interaction, and community development,” he said.

He also promised that in the second quarter of 2025, his administration will commission 12 more roads, including the 5.525 km asphaltic road from the airport road to the Tudun Biri community.

“Our administration has performed the groundbreaking for the construction of 70 roads, totaling 770 kilometres across the three senatorial districts of Kaduna state,” he said.

“While a number of these projects have already been successfully completed, the remaining ones are progressing steadily towards completion.”

The roads are Garba Ja Abdulkadir, Bissau, and Unguwan Muazu township roads and Water Intake road, off Yakowa road.

Others are the Yakubu Gowon residential layout road, the Kawo layout road, off ‘Yan Awaki road, the State House roads network, and the stadium roundabout to Command junction road.

The rest are the residential layout off Gobarau road, the residential layout off Kinshasha road, Sultan-Surame road and Ohinoyi road.
