Flagging-off the road construction project at Gadar Gayan on Monday, Governor Sani said the road is one of the many projects lined up by his administration to bridge the gap between the rural and urban areas, as well as make rural living pleasurable.
The governor who was flanked by his deputy, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe added that, aside the immediate employment opportunities it will create along the benefiting communities, the 35 kilometers road will on completion after 12 months, link the farming communities with markets
According to Governor Sani, “Our government is determined to facilitate commerce and opportunities through the provision of good road networks.
“Igabi and Chikun local government areas have huge agricultural potentials, hence we are committed to giving our local farmers the necessary support required to boast their yields and market their produce.
“We want to bridge the gap between the rural and urban areas. We want to make rural life a pleasurable experience, that is why we are persuading our rural transformation agenda with zeal.
“During the construction of this road, there will be job opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers. When the road is completed, every town from the two local government areas and communities along the route, will be safer. Post-harvest loses by farmers will be drastically reduced
“It is now my honour and privilege to perform the ground breaking for the construction of the 35-kilometer road from Gadar Gayan through Gwaraji to Kujama junction, linking Igabi and Chikun local government areas. I want to also thank everyone who have supported us from the beginning to this moment,” he said.
At Sabon Tasha, Governor Sani who was welcomed by a large crowd of residents, including school children, said his government is committed to fulfilling its campaign promises made to the people of the area, to take government close to them and give every community a sense of belonging.
In his welcome remarks, the Chairman, Igabi Local government Area, Hon. Jabir Khamis said, Governor Uba has demonstrated that, he loves the people of Igabi Local Government Area.
According to the chairman, “We are very happy. We have now seen that the Governor belongs to the people of Igabi. He is not even one year in office yet, but, he has visited this LGA four times to commission projects. This is an indication that before the end of his tenure which we pray should be eight years, he would have carried out uncountable number of projects here.”
On his part, the Chairman of Chikun Local Government, Engr. Salasi Musa said the flag-off is a fulfillment of Governor Uba Sani campaign promises.
