The Kano Governorship Candidate of the Action Democratic Party, ADP and member House of Representatives, Municipal Federal Constituency, Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada has commiserated with Kantin Kwari Traders over flooding that ravaged some parts of the Market.

Sha’aban Sharada disclosed this in a statement through his media campaign office issued to Daily News 24.

He noted that “its worrying at this time for flooding to overtake one of the most important markets in Africa.”

According to the ADP Gubernatorial candidate all hands must be on deck especially the market traders and stakeholders to put an end to the menace which is threatening business activities not only in Kano but Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

The candidate said if given the chance in the forthcoming 2023 elections he will make sure he liase with relevant stakeholders in putting an end to the menace by embarking on aggressive town planning for the whole city of Kano in which Kwari Market is very strategic where business moguls started to maintain Kano’s status as centre of commerce.

“Part of the town planning is to construct modern drainages and water channels of international standard to prevent future occurrence and ensure business goes smoothly.” Sharada added.

He lamented Government’s negligence which led to the present scenario in the popular market despite taxes being collected.

He urge the teeming traders who lost properties and wealth to take solace and regard it as a test from the Almighty Allah and pray to an end to the flood.

He added that he has travelled overseas and consulted with technocrats on how best to make Kano a beffiting city for business and transaction in which Kwari Market is very strategic and important.

“One of the problems I faced with the present Government of Kano state was drawing its attention to the encroachment of spaces in public places such as markets ,mosques, graveyards.

Sha’aban Sharada said it was unfortunate that for over 50 years no encroachment was recorded around Kwari Market Which resulted to a disastrous flood as a result of Ganduje administration’s negligence and lack of sincerity for business activities to boom in the state.

This negligence resulted in erecting shops by government on top of drainages and ways which Kano found itself.

Sha’aban Sharada further called on wealthy individuals to desist from buying plots around public vicinities which results in the destruction of lives and properties.

Sha’aban asserts that if elected come 2023 he will devise new ways to expand the Kwari Market and other markets in and outside Kano metropolis.”

According to Sharada, he will soon make it a duty upon himself to develop synergy and share ideas with the market leadership on how best to address the problem once and for all.
