The government of Nigeria has commissioned the Kano-Kazaure-Kongolam dual carriage road project. Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola flagged off the road project.
The road project involves dualization of the 132km Kano-Kazaure-Kongolam dual carriage road. The 116 billion Naira project will be wholly financed and carried out by BUA Group in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
Kazaure-Kongolam dual carriage road
The Kano-Kazaure-Kongolam dual carriage road in Nigeria will pass through Kano, Jigawa, and Katsina states from Dawanau Roundabout in Kano State to Kongolam in Katsina State. It will contain three bridges – Ungoggo Roundabout, Kazaure, and Daura and also include pedestrian crossings at eight locations along the project corridor and solar street lights for safe driving during nighttime which will be important to bring developments in the three states.
Upon completion, this road is expected to improve inter-state travel and also encourage trade between the three states it traverses. Moreover, the construction of the Naira Kano-Kongolam highway will open up more economic opportunities for Nigeria and the greater West African region. The project will further open up the country by enabling access to neighboring countries, the Niger Republic, via Katsina State.
BUA Group executive director Kabiru Rabiu said that the group would remain committed to working with the Government on critical projects and initiatives that will speed up human, social, and infrastructural development across the country.
