Newly appointed Kano state Commissioner for Works, Housing and Transport, Engr. Aminu Aliyu Wudil, has called on contractors handling various road projects in the state to expedite action to meet the deadline.
Addressing contractors handling the construction of underpass bridges and flyovers on a familiarisation visit to the sites in Kano metropolitan area yesterday, Wudil said he was highly impressed with the level of works on ground, adding that a lot needed to be done in making the project a reality.
According to him, the Ganduje administration had placed high priority on the construction of underpass and flyover bridges for Kano to take the centre stage of becoming a mega city in addition to reducing gridlocks and unnecessary congestion, adding that the cash to be
released by the state government would get to the contractors, once government was satisfied with their conduct.

Responding, the Managing Director of Triacta Construction Company, Mr. Milad Helou, assured the state government of the company’s resolve to work hard and complete the projects as scheduled; stressing that, maintaining high quality would remain the priority.
