The Federal Government of Nigeria has revealed that it will deliver phase one of the Kano-Katsina road reconstruction project before the end of this year.

El-Yakub said that the road was among several other roads included in Sukuk, an initiative of the government to check critical roads and pay contractors their money in time.
“Buhari’s administration is working hard to complete all these road projects in 2023,” he said.
El-Yakub urged the contractors to construct the Yakasai -Badume bridge immediately after the rainy season.
