Kano Governor Commissions 9km Road to Boost Market Access in Rogo

By Jabiru Hassan, Kano

In a bid to enhance rural development and improve market access for agricultural produce, Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has commissioned the newly constructed 9-kilometer Fulatan-Zarewa-Dan Guzuri road in Rogo Local Government Area.

The road, executed under the Kano Agropastoral Development Project (KSADP), aims to facilitate transportation, boost economic activities, and support local farmers.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, in Kano.

Enhancing Rural Market Linkages

Speaking at the commissioning, Governor Yusuf emphasized that the road would strengthen market linkages for rural products, support smallholder farmers, and contribute to poverty reduction and food security in the state.

He reiterated his administration’s commitment to revitalizing abandoned projects, particularly the 5-kilometer road projects left incomplete by the previous administration.

“We remain committed to completing all remaining projects across Kano’s local governments within the 2025 fiscal year,” he assured.

Investing in Road Infrastructure

The governor highlighted ongoing investments in road infrastructure, including the rehabilitation and asphalt overlay of major roads across Kano.

He also acknowledged the support of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Lives and Livelihood Fund (LLF), and other development partners, whose collaboration has facilitated the construction of 70 kilometers of roads, connecting several communities across the state’s three senatorial zones.

Call for Community Ownership

Governor Yusuf urged residents of the benefiting communities to take ownership of the new road and ensure its proper maintenance.

He reaffirmed his administration’s readiness to collaborate with organizations committed to making Kano a better place than it was before 2023.
