Gov Yusuf revokes contract for Garko 5km road
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has revoked the contract for the construction of a five-kilometer road in Garko Local Government Area (LGA) of the state following the contractor’s failure to mobilise to site.
Yusuf said this when he inspected the level of work on the Kafinchiri Irrigation Project in Garko LGA, a key initiative under the state’s agricultural transformation drive.
This is contained in a statement in Kano on Monday by the governor’s Spokesperson, Mr Sanusi Bature.
Bature quoted the governor as assuring that a new and reliable contractor would be appointed within the next few days to ensure the project’s timely completion.
He said the governor expressed commitment to the establishment of a modern health facility in Garko town, aimed at bringing healthcare services closer to the people.
He expressed his gratitude for the continued support from the local community and reiterated his administration’s determination to maintain the momentum of progress.
The project that is valued at N2.5 billion, is aimed at bolstering all-year-round farming, enhancing food security and driving economic growth in the state.
He emphasized the significance of the Kafinchiri Irrigation Project, saying it was a vital component of his administration’s efforts to promote continuous agricultural production in the state.
He urged the residents of Garko and surrounding areas to take full advantage of the opportunities provided by the project to improve their socio-economic conditions and contribute to the state’s overall development.
