President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Daura, Katsina, said efforts of the
state government in constructing and improving road networks across the
state deserved commendation, especially the focus on linking
economically viable areas in the hinterlands to markets, public
institutions and schools.
The President, who commissioned the 28 km Randa Doguru- Gallu
Kwanar-Gwanti-Shargalle road, said investments in the infrastructure of
the state will also encourage channelling of time and resources in
positive economic and social activities, and enhance security.
He noted that Governor Aminu Bello Masari had shown commitment to the
development of infrastructure, urging him to keep on investing for the
future of the state.
In his remarks, the governor said 18 roads across the state were
earmarked for construction, and ten had been completed, while eight were
at various stages.
President Buhari had in August commissioned the
Shinkafi-Yandaki-Gafiya—Abdall
Aunai-Dutsi roads.
