President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday
inaugurated a multi-million naira bridge in
Kano and named it after the late Emir of
Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
bridge was constructed by the Federal
Government at Kundila Roundabout on the
ever busy Zaria Road to ensure smooth traffic
flow.
Speaking at the ceremony, Jonathan said that
the project was in line with the road
resuscitation programme of his
administration’s transformation agenda.
He said that the new flyover would help to
improve commercial activities in the ancient
city, adding that the Federal Government was
poised to restore the lost glory of Kano as a
commercial nerve centre.
According to him, the flyover will also ease
traffic congestion and promote socio-
economic activities between the state and
other parts of the country.
Jonathan said, “This is part of my
administration’s commitment toward making
life easy for the people in the country.
“I am today commissioning this important
edifice with great jubilation and pride.
“I won’t conclude my remarks without paying
a glowing tribute to our father, the late Emir
Bayero whose immense contribution made
Kano what it is today.”
On the forthcoming general elections, the
president said the time had come for every
Nigerian to make a good choice.
He said the PDP-led government had
remarkable achievements, stressing that he
had almost fulfilled his mission as contained
in his seven-point agenda.
In his remarks, the Minister of Works, Mike
Onolememen, said the completion of the
bridge was a landmark achievement which
would bring economic development to the
state and the region. source www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-inaugurates-multi-million-naira-bridge-in-kano/
