On September 1, 2024, Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf conducted an on-site inspection of the Kafinchiri Irrigation Project in Garko Local Government Area. The project, valued at N2.5 billion, is a major initiative under the state’s agricultural transformation agenda aimed at enhancing food security, promoting year-round farming, and driving economic growth.
In a statement released by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf underscored the importance of the Kafinchiri Irrigation Project, describing it as a cornerstone of his administration’s efforts to boost continuous agricultural production across Kano State. He called on residents of Garko and surrounding areas to leverage the opportunities created by the project to improve their socio-economic status and contribute to the state’s overall development.
In a separate announcement, the Governor revoked the contract for the Garko Local Government five-kilometer road project due to the contractor’s failure to commence work on-site. He assured that a new, reliable contractor would be appointed within days to ensure the road project’s timely completion.
Additionally, Governor Yusuf committed to establishing a modern health facility in Garko town to improve healthcare access for the local community. He expressed appreciation for the ongoing support from residents and reiterated his administration’s dedication to sustaining progress in the state.
The Governor’s visit and actions reflect his commitment to infrastructure development, agricultural enhancement, and community welfare in Kano State.
