The Katsina State government has attributed its inability to carry out some projects in the state due to insecurity.
The Commissioner for Works and Transport, Alhaji Taisi’u Dahiru Dandagoro, disclosed this to newsmen at a press briefing on the activities of the Ministry from 2015-2020.
Dandagoro said the roads, some of which have reached 50 per cent completion, are all in the southern parts of the state, including that of Kankara-Zango-DanSabau.
The Commissioner said the construction has been put on hold due to security concerns. ‘’We have to suspend the work in order to safeguard the lives of the workers,’’ Dndagoro said.
But he said despite the security concerns in the same area, the contract for the construction of 45-kilometre Gurbin Baure-Shinfida-Batsari road has just been awarded.
