Uba Sani flags off historic Makarfi Road Project

Governor Uba Sani has declared that Kaduna State comprises 23 local governments and not just Kaduna town, so projects ought to be spread across board.

The Governor also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to inclusive development.

Speaking during the groundbreaking of Durum to Kuruntumawa road in Makarfi local government on Monday, the Governor declared that “people living in rural areas are also part of Kaduna State.”

He argued that the project was not just about road construction but about correcting “historical injustices” suffered by rural communities.

“Makarfi is among 12 local government areas in Kaduna State that had not benefitted from a completed road project in the past ten years. I am therefore very happy to be here to break that unfortunate record,” the Governor stated.

Governor Uba Sani explained that roads remain central to his government’s promise of spreading development across all 23 local government areas, without discrimination.

“I always said that Kaduna State is not only the urban city but people living in rural areas are also part of Kaduna State. We don’t discriminate among the residents because the state’s resources belong to all of us. Our government is a masses government, a people’s government,” he added.

Highlighting the economic importance of the project, the Governor noted that Makarfi is one of the state’s major farming hubs, producing crops like maize, sugarcane, tomatoes, and soybeans.

“This road from Durum to Kuruntumawa is more than an asphalt it is a promise fulfilled, a lifeline for farmers, traders, students, and families,” he said.

The Governor recalled that since assuming office in May 2023, he has initiated 85 road projects covering 785 kilometres across the state, out of which 44 have been completed.

According to him, several others are at advanced stages, adding that 15 additional road projects have been awarded in the second phase projects.

The Governor urged community leaders and residents to take ownership of the new infrastructure:

“This groundbreaking is more than a ceremony it is a symbol of progress and of our shared aspiration for a better tomorrow. When communities steward their infrastructure, benefits are long-lasting.”

Governor Sani stressed that his administration will continue to channel resources towards rural development, assuring that no community will be left behind.
