Kwankwaso Signs Supplementary Budget Law

Kano state Governor, Rabi’u Kwankwaso has signed into law a
supplementary budget of N21.1billion following its assent by the state House of
Assembly.

Speaking shortly after signing the document, Kwankwaso
explained that the budget would enable the state government to execute some
important projects before the end of year.

The projects include the completion of a School for Basic
Midwifery at Gezawa, the senate building of the new Northwest University and a
road on Kwarin Gogau in Fagge local government area.

He said government had completed all the necessary
arrangements to start the construction of a flyover at Kofar Nasarawa in the
state capital.

Access roads within the area were also being rehabilitated
to ease traffic congestion when the project execution commences.

The governor also met with the 44 local government Interim
Management Officers in the state to discuss modalities for the execution of
various projects in their respective areas.

Reports say that the projects include construction of crafts
schools, schools for Arabic studies, fencing and electrification of graveyards
and construction of roads.

He attributed the delay in the payment of September salaries
of local government workers to the problems facing biometrics registration
exercise.

The governor added that the state government was making
arrangements to provide refuse disposal points across the state and warned
people against indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
