IG advises Kano people on maintenance of roads, drainages
THE people of Kano state have been advised to desist from dumping of refuse and sand on roads and drainages to ensure their maximum life span.
The state commissioner of projects monitoring and evaluation, Alhaji Ibrahim Garba, gave the advice while inspecting the completed Sardauna Crescent-Badawa road network in Nassarawa local government area.
Alhaji Garba, according to a press release signed by Yahaya Umar,public relations officer in the directorate, stated that the advice is necessary because of the colossal amount of money expended on many roads constructed by the present administration.
He further explained that dumping of refuse and building materials on the roads and in drainages would lead to the early degradation of the infrastructure.
The commissioner therefore, urged beneficiary communities to keep watchful eyes on the projects sited in their midst with a view to getting value for the money spent on them.
Alhaji Garba expressed satisfaction over the quality execution of the road project and commended the contractor for this feat.
He also directed the state Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) to remove all deposited materials on the road as it would soon be commissioned by Governor Ibrahim Shekarau.
The commissioner then reiterated the determination of the Shekarau administration to continue providing first-class infrastructures for the overall rapid development of the state.
