The President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Mr Alhassan Yahaya, on Tuesday commended the Kano State Government for its ongoing road infrastructure projects aimed at boosting mobility and economic development.
Yahaya gave the commendation during a media tour of projects in the state by NUJ members from the 36 states of the federation as part of activities marking the NUJ National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Kano.
The delegation visited key sites including Hadejia Road, Lodge Road, Murtala Muhammad Way, Tal’udu Flyover under construction, Dan’agundi Flyover, the Kano State Sports Commission, and Northwest University.
“We came, we saw, and we believe in what we saw.
“No doubt this administration is doing a lot in the area of road infrastructure.
“Our expectation is that at the end of these constructions, we will return to see how these beautiful roads are utilised by citizens and visitors alike,” Yahaya said.
He explained that the decision to focus on road construction projects was deliberate, noting that the government was also executing notable projects in health, agriculture, and the environment, which time did not permit the delegation to inspect.
Yahaya appreciated the Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi-Waiya, for leading the tour and facilitating the visits.
He described the exercise as an opportunity for journalists to witness and report first-hand information on the state’s infrastructural transformation.
He also highlighted the importance of the media in disseminating accurate information about government projects, urging journalists to maintain professional standards in their reportage.
