From Maiharaji Altine
The Emir of Zuru, Major-General Muhammadu Sani Sami Gomo ll, has restated his conviction that Kebbi state will witness an unprecedented economic development under the leadership of comrade Governor Nasir Idris.
The Emir’s observations were contained in a goodwill message made available at the occasion of the flag off of the construction of the Kebbi State’s 258 kilometres portion of the 1068km of Sokoto-Badagry super highway held at Gulumbe, performed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Comrade Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State.
General Sami Gomo ll, represented by a traditional title holder of the Emirate, Sadaukin Zuru, Alhaji Abdullahi Idris Zuru, described the project as the biggest single project to be executed in the history of project execution by the federal governments in Kebbi State.
The Emir opined that the ability of Comrade Idris to influence the consideration for Kebbi State, 1/3 of the 1068km of the super highway that cut across seven states of the federation, clearly justified the Governor’s loyalty to the National leadership of the country.
He noted with satisfaction the detailed description of the nature of the road and its various components by the Minister of Works, Senator Nweze David Umahi.
The components included 3-lane single carriage ways, solar powered streetlight, CCTV cameras, and establishment of shelter belt along the road for environmental hazards control.
According to him, the establishment of 68 highly sophisticated dams for irrigation purposes would hopefully translate to the establishment of agro-alied industries and other viable economic ventures along the corridor.
The Royal father commended Comrade Nasir for introducing different strategies with the potentiality of facilitating the state economic growth.
He regretted his inability to personally attend the very important ceremony because it coincided with his 81st birthday anniversary celebration.
General Sami Gomo ll however hoped that with the final documentation on the transfer of Koko-Zuru federal road to Kebbi State Government, Comrade Governor Nasir would soon be in Zuru for a similar flag off of the project.
