The Kano State Commissioner for Public Procurement, Project Monitoring, and Evaluation, Nura Ma’aji Sumaila, has called for the speedy completion of key infrastructural projects in four local government areas.
During an inspection tour on Thursday, he assessed six major projects, including the Rogo 5KM road, the Rogo-Bari-Falgore-Mahangi road, and the Waraka Sexual Assault and Referral Centre in Karaye. Other projects included the Reformatory Institute in Kiru, the Kiru 5KM road, the Madobi-Yako-Kwanar Dangora 74KM road, and the Kano State Drugs and Medical Consumables Supply Agency.
At the Rogo 5KM road site, Ma’aji Sumaila acknowledged the contractor’s work but stressed the need for faster execution. “Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has set a five-month deadline for completion, and we expect this project to be delivered within schedule,” he said.
He also noted the importance of the 23KM Rogo-Mahangi road, stating that “this road will significantly enhance connectivity between Kano and neighboring states like Katsina and Kaduna, boosting trade and mobility.”
At the Waraka Sexual Assault and Referral Centre in Karaye, he said the project aims to support survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. “Once completed, this center will provide essential services for survivors, ensuring access to medical, legal, and psychological support,” he said.
During a visit to the Reformatory Institute in Kiru and the Kano State Drugs and Medical Consumables Supply Agency, he said that “both projects are at 95% completion, and we are ensuring the final phase is executed without delay.”
