Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has performed the ground breaking of the main Karatudu-Romi road in Chikun local government, 13 years after it was abandoned by successive administrations.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Governor recalled that Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa had awarded the contract of constructing the road but after his death, the project was stalled.
Reiterating the importance of the road to the people of Karatudu and Unguwan Romi , he emphasized that his government has been giving priority to rural areas and places where the less privileged live.
The Governor promised that the road will be completed in eight months because the project will be executed by a reputable contractor, adding that the company will mobilise to site immediately.
‘’Our government keeps to its promises and we don’t play politics of deceit. Our priority is to execute projects that can be verified. That is why in our a little over two years in office, we have awarded over 83 road contracts and we have completed 31 of them.
‘’Politics is not about propaganda. It is about executing meaningful projects that will impact on peoples lives. Some politicians who had abandoned this area in the past, have now come to deceive you again,’’ he added.
Governor Sani clarified that the ground breaking of Karatudu road will cover all the township roads of the area, including Cemetery road, Lusawa road, School road to Karatudu and Jemaá road.
According to him, the proposed road project will stretch from Romi community to Karatudu, adding that there is an ongoing road project which stretches from Keke to Makera, Doka Mai Jema’a to Dan Hono in Kujama ward of Chikun local government.
The Governor also said that the Water Intake road at Unguwan Mai Gero to Narayi in Chukun local has been commissioned.
He promised that the road project from Zenith Bank roundabout by Kachia road, to Flour Mill, linking Chikun and Kaduna South local government will commence in a week’s time.
Governor Uba Sani also disclosed that funds have been released and the construction of the abandoned Television Garage road to Sabon Tasha, which links four electoral wards, will commence next week.
