Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has assured that his administration will not resort to borrowing to finance projects, stressing that he will neither plunge the state into debt nor abandon inherited projects.
The governor gave the assurance at the groundbreaking ceremony of a 16.5-kilometre asphalt road that will link Kayarda Tasha, Kayarda Gari, Unguwan Sarki, Maskawa and Dan Alhaji towns in Lere Local Government Area.
According to him, the project, being executed by a reputable construction firm, is unprecedented in the history of Lere Local Government.
He said his government had already completed several abandoned projects in the area, while others were nearing completion.
“Rewa Bridge that links Gure town has been completed. Marjeri Bridge has also been completed. Tudai Bridge will be completed in a month or two. I have also taken steps to address the lack of electricity supply in Yarkasuwa, Kayarda, Ramin Kura and Mariri towns,” the governor said.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Environment, Abubakar Buba, described Governor Sani as “a man of his word.”
He expressed gratitude to the governor for appointing several Lere indigenes into key positions and for delivering dividends of democracy to the area
