Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has flagged off the construction of two major road projects aimed at promoting equitable development and improving infrastructure across the state.
The flagged-off projects include the Durum–Kuruntumawa Road in Makarfi Local Government Area and the Hunkuyi–Unguwan Rimi–Basawa Road, which connects Kudan and Sabon Gari Local Government Areas.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremonies held on Tuesday, Governor Sani lamented that Makarfi and Kudan are among 12 local government areas in the state that have not benefitted from a single kilometre of road construction in the past 12 years—an oversight he described as “unacceptable.”
In a post on his official X handle (formerly Twitter), the governor said the initiative reflects his administration’s commitment to fairness and equity in infrastructure development.
“In a major move aimed at ensuring even and balanced development across the state, I performed the groundbreaking for two strategic road projects: the Durum–Kuruntumawa Road in Makarfi LG, and the Hunkuyi–Unguwan Rimi–Basawa Road linking Kudan LG and Sabon Gari LG,” Sani wrote.
“Makarfi and Kudan Local Governments are among 12 LGAs in Kaduna State that have not benefitted from 1km of road construction in the past 12 years. This is unacceptable.”
He emphasised that the roads are "pathways to opportunity" and "symbols of our shared determination to build a better Kaduna State."
The governor reiterated his administration’s pledge, made upon assumption of office on May 29, 2023, to bring development to every village and community in the state—with road construction being a central pillar of that promise.
“Well-built roads are the backbone of economic activity,” Sani stated. “They connect people to markets, children to schools, patients to health centres, and farmers to prosperity.”
The projects are expected to significantly boost socio-economic activities in the benefiting communities and enhance connectivity across Kaduna North Senatorial Zone.
