Lere Stakeholders Hail Gov Sani Over 17km Road Project

Stakeholders in Lere local government area of Kaduna State have applauded Governor Uba Sani for the ongoing construction of a 17-kilometre road in the area.

The stakeholders gave the commendation during an inspection of the project alongside government officials and community leaders.

During the exercise in Kaku Kasa community, the chairman of Lere local government area, Alhaji Jafaru Ahmed, described the project as a major relief for the residents and motorists.

Ahmed said the road had previously caused hardship, with commuters spending over two hours to travel a two-kilometre stretch.

He said the ongoing construction had reduced travel time and improved access to communities.

The LG chairman commended the governor for initiating the project and expressed optimism that it would transform socio-economic activities in the area.

Also, the commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Alhaji Abubakar Buba, said the inspection was organised to assess the quality and progress of the project.

The commissioner said the 17-kilometre road had reached over 85 per cent completion.

Buba said the road would improve transportation, boost economic activity, and enhance residents’ living conditions.

Also speaking, the executive secretary of the Kaduna State Scholarship and Loans Board, Prof. Yahaya Sale Ibrahim, said the road was an ancient route, popularly known as the Trans-Saharan route, through which enslaved people were transported several decades ago.
