President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Daura, Katsina State, applauded the developmental progress recorded by Governor Aminu Masari in the last four years
The President commended the Governor for taking good care of the people of his state
The President, speaking at the commissioning of the re-designed and re-constructed Fago-Katsayal-Kwasarawa-Jirdede-Koza Road, one of the numerous projects, said “Thank you, Governor Masari, for taking care of the people of my constituency,’’
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a statement, said the road, covered about 38 kilometres and links four local government areas.
The road, he said, was first constructed by the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund, which was then headed by President Buhari, and it was extended to Dangwara, Jirdede and Koza towns.
The road has the benefit of increasing mobility that would enable the predominantly farming population to optimally utilize the Koza dam and serves as a vital route option from Kano, Jigawa and Yobe to the famous Mai’Adua International Border Market.
President Buhari also commissioned another 16 km road that links 20 agrarian communities of Kwanar Sabke, Sabke, Kokutu, Makangara, Haukan Zama, Nareje, Madoma, Nasarawa, Magamiyo, Dan’Aunai, Kwanar Dila, Gurje, Magale, Sabon Garin Kogon, Burtu, Dado, Minawa, Subashi, Dutsawa, Nafasa and Dutsi.
The roads will help farmers to easily transport their produce to markets, gain access to health facilities and schools, and unlock the commercial opportunities in the area.
Governor Masari appreciated the President for visiting the state and finding time to commission some projects, assuring him that the state government will always pursue people focused development projects.
