Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state on Saturday performed the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the 22km Anchau-Gadas-Palla road linking 32 villages in Kubau and Ikara local government areas of the state.
The ground breaking ceremony, which is part of the activities lined up to mark Governor Sani’s 100 days in office, is a significant milestone in rural development as the road will connect 32 villages across the two local government areas.
Speaking at Anchau, headquarters of Kubau Local Government, Governor Sani highlighted the importance of the road project in addressing the transportation challenges facing the 32 communities along the route, noting that the groundbreaking ceremony, which is part of the activities lined up to mark his 100 days in office, is a significant milestone in rural development.
The governor emphasised that the road would not only facilitate movement of people but also enhance transportation of agricultural produce from farms to markets, ultimately boosting rural development and the local economy.
“The reason we have decided to come this morning for this groundbreaking for the construction of 22km road is simply because we know the significance of this very road.
“The people of Kubau local government and the people of Ikara local government had approached us during our campaign and informed us about the importance of this road. This road connects at least 32 villages from Anchau to Pala and the reason why we have decided to quickly start the construction of this road is simply because it will revitalise the economies of the rural areas, particularly those 32 communities,” he said.
Governor Sani also expressed sympathy with the people of Sayasaya in Ikara local government over the tragic loss of lives in the Friday night attack by bandits, promising to bring the culprits book. He emphasized that the security of lives and property is a top priority of his administration, and he will not tolerate conflict entrepreneurs moving freely across the state.
The chairmen of Kubau and Ikara local governments, in separate remarks, expressed their gratitude to Governor Sani for selecting their local government areas as beneficiaries of the projects planned for the celebration of the first 100 days of his administration.
They acknowledged the positive impact construction of the road would have on their communities, fostering economic growth and improving the overall well-being of the residents.
