Kano tasks local government councils to fast track N300m projects for next funding

 

The Kano State Government has urged the 44 Local Government councils to expedite the completion of various projects with the N300 million allocation to ensure timely access to the next funding tranche.

 

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Local Government Matters, Alhaji Bashir Abubakar Yaro Galadima, emphasised the importance of project completion during his inspection visit to Gabasawa Local Government. He stated that the state government is committed to ensuring that LGAs utilise funds effectively and efficiently.

 

Galadima’s directive follows inspections conducted across various LGAs to monitor the utilisation of the N300 million allocation. The state government has expressed satisfaction with the progress recorded so far but emphasised the need for LGAs to fast-track project completion to meet the set deadlines.

 

The N300 million allocation is part of the state government’s efforts to enhance infrastructure development and provide essential services to the people. LGAs that fail to complete projects on time risk delaying the next funding tranche, which could impact the delivery of critical services to residents.

 

The Kano State Government’s push for timely project completion underscores its commitment to grassroots development and empowerment. By ensuring that LGAs utilise funds effectively, the government aims to improve the lives of residents and drive economic growth in the state.

 

Gabasawa Local Government Chairman, Pharm. Sagiru Tarauni has lauded Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf’s support, enabling the council to execute impressive projects within eight months. The chairman expressed gratitude for the governor’s commitment to grassroots development.

 

The chairman pleaded with the governor to continue supporting the local government council to initiate more projects for their communities, highlighting the significant impact of the governor’s support on local projects and initiatives, which have ultimately enhanced residents’ lives.

A former Governor of Kano State Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, for ordering a fresh investigation into the disappearance of activist and lecturer Abubakar Idris Dadiyata.

KANO FOCUS reports that Kwankwaso made the remarks in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Saturday following recent testimony by a former aide to an ex-state governor, who allegedly claimed that police officers were responsible for Dadiyata’s disappearance in Kaduna.

Dadiyata, a lecturer and social media commentator, was abducted in 2019, and his whereabouts have remained unknown since then.

According to Kwankwaso, he and his associates have consistently advocated for a thorough investigation into the incident and for those responsible to be brought to justice.

He described the Inspector-General’s directive for a comprehensive investigation as a “decisive and long-overdue action,” expressing hope that the process would uncover the truth behind the disappearance.

The former governor also urged police authorities to place individuals named in the allegations under close surveillance to prevent interference with the investigation.

Kwankwaso further called on the government to ensure that Dadiyata, if found alive, and his family receive adequate compensation for the trauma and hardship they have endured over the years.

He commended members of the public for sustaining advocacy efforts on the case and also praised Abba Hikima Fagge for what he described as his important role in the latest developments surrounding the investigation.

Kwankwaso expressed optimism that the renewed probe would ultimately deliver truth and justice in the case.
