KADUNA State Governor, Uba Sani has promised that his administration would not borrow to finance projects and will also not incur debts while executing them.
The Governor, who also said that his government inherited several abandoned projects from previous administrations, promised to complete them before the end of his tenure.
He made these promises at the ground breaking for the construction of the road that connects Kayarda Tasha, Kayarda Gari, Unguwan Sarki, Maskawa and Dan Alhaji towns in Lere Local Government Area.
Governor Sani disclosed that the 16.5 kilometre asphalt road, would be handled by a reputable company, adding, “this kind of project is unprecedented in Lere local government.’’
The Governor also listed the abandoned projects in Lere local government, which his administration has either completed or mobilised contractors back to site.
“Rewa Bridge that links Gure town has been completed. Marjeri Bridge has also been completed. Tudai Bridge will be completed in a month or two. I have taken steps to address the lack of electricity supply in Yarkasuwa, Kayarda, Ramin Kura and Mariri towns,’’ he disclosed.
Also speaking at the occasion, the Commissioner for Environment, Alhaji Abubakar Buba, described the Governor as a man of his words and someone who keeps promises.
He thanked the Governor for appointing several Lere indigenes into key positions and giving the local government and the entire state dividends of democracy.
“The Majority Leader of Kaduna State, Munira Suleiman Tanimu is from Lere Local Government. We are proud of our hardworking House of Representatives member, Ahmed Munir. God has blessed us with a dynamic council chairman, Jafaaru. I am a Commissioner for Environment,’’ he added.
Buba also disclosed that the Governor has been giving them a free hand to run their affairs, adding, “that is why we operate an open door policy and provide succour to our people.’’
Tanimu recalled that during the campaign, the people of Lere Local Government had requested for the construction of the road, which the Governor was about to perform.
The state legislator promised that the result of 2027 election would be a repeat of what happened in the recent by-election, where APC emerged victorious at the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, as well as Zaria-Kewaye and Basawa State Constituencies.
Speaking at the ground breaking, Munir recalled the Governor’s early years at Unguwan Makama in Saminaka town, headquarters of Lere Local Government, pointing out that the governor was a good striker, who scored highest goals for his team, the Saminaka Celtics. Governor Sani will continue to be a striker in the political realm.’’
