Kebbi State Government Launches Major Road Project Initiative

The Kebbi State government has commenced a 34-kilometre road project designed to link five communities in the Birnin Kebbi and Argungu local government areas. At the project’s flag-off, Governor Nasir Idris stated that the Dukku-Tarasar Road, covering two kilometres within the Birnin Kebbi local government area, is expected to be completed within six months.

Additionally, the Birnin Lafiya-Gulma-Natsini Road project, spanning 32 kilometres under the Argungu local government area, has a completion timeline of 12 months. These projects are part of Idris's 2023 campaign promises, reflecting his administration's commitment to enhancing road infrastructure to facilitate transportation and connect rural and urban areas.

Governor Idris noted that during the 2023 campaigns, residents expressed challenges in transporting their goods due to poor road conditions. The communities affected have expressed gratitude to Idris for fulfilling his promise, which they believe will alleviate their transportation difficulties.
