Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has approved the construction of road projects linking 13 communities across Kalgo and Bunza Local Government Areas of the state.

Idris disclosed this on Friday while paying a condolence visit to the people of Diggi over the death of the District Head of Diggi, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, popularly known as Dan Galadima Diggi.

The governor said the projects were designed to improve connectivity and facilitate the movement of people and goods across the communities.

“The road projects are designed to improve connectivity, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and enhance economic activities across the benefiting communities,” Idris said.

The communities expected to benefit from the projects include Maidahini, Yarawel, Gerere, Etene, Ketar Fulani, Ketar Hausawa, Gangare, Banganna, Mutubari, Wurogauri, Diggi, Gayi and Unguwar Jeji.

Idris said the contract had been awarded to Habib Engineering Construction Company, adding that the official flag-off ceremony would take place soon.

He assured the affected communities of his administration’s continued support, saying projects with direct and meaningful impact on residents would remain a priority.

According to him, the administration would continue to extend development projects to communities across the state, particularly areas with pressing infrastructure needs.

The governor also prayed for the repose of the soul of the late district head, asking Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
