Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has flagged-off the construction of eighteen kilometer road to links Gwantu, the headquarters of Sanga Local Government Area with Kafancha, Jema’a Local Government Area of the state.
The road which is linking two major local government areas in the Southern part of Kaduna, through Kiban to Godogodo, is entirely new road designed to reduce travel time between the two Local Government Areas, whose existing road through Fadan Karshi-Gidan Waya is sixty-two kilometers.
Flagging off the project, Governor Uba Sani said the new Sanga-Jema’a road, is one of the rural transformation projects of his administration aimed at revitalizing the rural economy and bridging the developmental gap between the rural and urban areas of the state.
The Governor said, upon completion, the road will not only facilitate movement of people, it will also enhance transportation of agricultural produce from farms to markets, reduce post-harvest losses often encountered by farmers and facilitate access to education and health facilities among people in the area.
He assured that, his administration will ensure that development projects are evenly brought to every section of Kaduna State.
In his welcome address, the Commissioner Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure, Architect Ibrahim Hamza said, the project is a prayer answered by Almighty God as it has been the yearnings of the people of the two local government areas for decades.
