Governor Uba Sani has been commended for bringing succour to the people of Unguwan Sarki, by tarring the main road artery that runs through the community, which was abandoned by the previous administration after preliminary works.
The Sarkin Unguwan Sarki, Alhaji Ibrahim Isa, who said this in his goodwill message during the commissioning of the road on Tuesday, disclosed that the abandoned project made the community dusty and most people avoided the ward completely.
Emphasising the importance of the road, Alhaji Ibrahim noted that it leads to the Sultan of Sokoto’s Kaduna home, adding that with the construction of the road, Unguwan Sarki has bounced back to its bustling self and business is now booming.
In his goodwill message, the Youth leader, Aliyu Faruk pleaded with the Governor to provide pipe borne water to the area because water pipes were destroyed during the Urban Renewal Programme.
Unguwan Sarki which is one of the communities in Kaduna North local government, is the ward of former Governor Nasir El Rufai.
Responding, Governor Uba Sani disclosed that the state government has invested over N100 billion in the last six months to tackle water scarcity across all local governments, promising that efforts are underway to replace the infrastructure.
“We have already spent over N400 million to repair and replace destroyed water pipelines. By the end of this year, Kaduna will enjoy uninterrupted water supply,” he assured.
Speaking during the commissioning of the long stretch of road from Federal Government College, Malali, through FRCN quarters to Unguwan Dosa, the Chairman of Kaduna North local government, Alhaji Muhammad Gambo thanked the Governor for all that he has done for his area.
The Chairman also named the road after Governor Uba Sani, as a sign of gratitude for the developmental projects that he sited in Kaduna North local government.
