Speaker Kaduna State House of Assembly, Hon. Yusuf Zailani, has assured the Tsaunin Kura Residents Association (Sabo GRA) that roads in their community will be given priority in 2021.
Speaking when President General of Sabo GRA, Comrade Dr. Silas Adamu-led executives of the community on a visit to the Speaker at the Kaduna Assembly on Monday, Zailani said, “issue of road insha Allah will be over in Tsaunin Kura. We have enough allocation for roads in next year’s budget.
“I will call KADRA and tell them Tsaunin Kura should be captured in the first quarter of 2021 projects. I promise tomorrow, I will call the MD KADRA to find out the situation of your road. We will do it under urban renewal. When you do a lump sum, the government can change direction every time so your area can be captured,” he assured
The Speaker While welcoming the association to the State Assembly, told them that just like Governor Nasir el-Rufai is for everyone irrespective of tribe or religion, the Assembly is also free for everybody to visit.
“Malam Nasir el-Rufai is a man of his words. I was speaking to his Excellency about the stadium roundabout bridge and the need to get a back up and within a short time, he approved construction of a bridge from Kabala Doki axis to Barnawa over River Kaduna.
“A lot of people are saying Kaduna State House Assembly is a rubber stamp, but we are not. This is the only Assembly that money is not given before approval of the budget from the Governor. I have been in this Assembly since 2007 and I can say, this is the best Governor so far. He gives contracts through bids, even without knowing the person. He is only concerned about capital projects,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Speaker has bagged a title of Epitome of Democracy from the Tsaunin Kura Residents Association (Sabo GRA), Kaduna. President General of Sabo GRA stated this while presenting a souvenir for the title to him at the State Assembly complex. He explained that the title was in view of dividends of democracy reaching the 23 LGAs.
“We are not blind to the fact that in less than one year, Zailani Absolute Care Foundation, where you are its Patron, has touched many lives of our citizens across the 23 LGAs of the state. Sabon Tasha GRA community is praying for Allah’s continuous guide and protection in order to continue your laudable efforts at bringing succour to the poor masses of the state.”
