Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has continued his policy of compensating residents whose properties are affected by government infrastructure projects, with another round of payments made to communities impacted by ongoing road construction.
At a cheque presentation ceremony held in Basawa, Sabon Gari Local Government Area, on Friday, Governor Sani reaffirmed that his administration places the welfare and dignity of citizens at the heart of its development agenda.
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, AbdulKadir Mu’azu Meyere, the governor presented compensation cheques to residents whose properties fall within the right-of-way for the Hunkuyi–Unguwan Rimi–Basawa Road project, which connects Kudan and Sabon Gari local government areas.
The latest exercise comes barely two weeks after the state government disbursed over N2 billion to about 1,000 residents affected by the Rigasa–Tudun Wada flood and gully erosion control project. On the same day, compensation was also paid to households affected by the construction of the 15-kilometre Ring Road from Danbushiya Junction to Danhonou 2 in Millennium City.
Governor Sani said his administration remains committed to delivering infrastructure that improves the lives of residents while ensuring that those affected are treated fairly.
