While the 4 billion Naira Dangi flyover has reached almost hundred percent completion stage and would be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The nature of the projects, is in line with the president’s administration’s commitment towards practically ensuring that the Kano Masterpan becomes a reality and for the state to wear a modern look”, he said.
Together with the newly inaugurated Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Idris Garba Unguwar Rimi, with other commissioners, governor Ganduje assured that, he would do everything humanly possible to see that the facelift process is not halted for whatever reason.
Sheikh Qariballah flyover, which has reached an appreciable stage, is designed to link the two sides of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital.
