Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has inaugurated a 231-unit streetlight project and a 5-kilometer road in Dawakin Tofa, the hometown of his predecessor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The project, which remained incomplete throughout Ganduje’s eight-year tenure, was brought to fruition by Governor Yusuf’s administration as part of his commitment to improving riral infrastructure and fulfilling campaign promises.
In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf emphasized that the streetlight and road projects are part of his administration’s dedication to providing essential amenities for the people of Kano State.
He urged the residents of Dawakin Tofa to make good use of the new facilities and remain vigilant to protect them from vandalism.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Chairman of Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area Hon. Anas Mukhtar Bello Danmaliki, represented by his deputy Hon. Abdullahi Magaji Aliyu (Kosasshe) commended Governor Yusuf for completing the long-delayed project.
He highlighted the transformative impact of the streetlights, noting that they will enhance safety, boost economic activities, and improve the quality of life in the area.
Magaji also appealed to the governor to consider reopening the Entrepreneurship Institute in Dawakin Tofa, which has been closed down by the Ganduje administration.
He stressed that reviving the institution would equip local youth with valuable skills for self-reliance and economic growth.
