The Federal Government has begun construction of the ₦47 billion Jakara–Wuju–Wuju road and sewage project in Kano metropolis, marking a major infrastructure boost for the state.
The project, which cuts across Gwale, Kano Municipal, Dala and Fagge Local Government Areas, is designed to tackle erosion problems while also improving movement and economic activities in the affected communities.
Speaking on Tuesday, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, said the Federal Government took over the project following a request by the Kano State Government.
According to him, the state government had already completed about 850 metres of the road, while the Federal Government will finance the remaining 6.7 kilometres of the project.
