Kano state governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has issued a 7-day ultimatum to contractors handling the 5 kilometer road projects in some local government areas to return to site or lose the job.
Daily News 24 reports that Mr Yusuf gave the warning during the inspection of the 5km road project in Ghari (formerly Kunchi) local government area of the state on Friday.
He said the government has given the contractors seven days in all the local government to resume the five kilometers road project or be replaced.
The governor said he has already seized the projects from other contractors in some of the local governments who failed to complete their work.

He added that the new contractors that were hired to replace those sacked have since completed their job.
Governor Yusuf also expressed sadness over how the previous administration of Abdullahi Ganduje neglected the road project which started since the tenure of Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in 2013.
Mr Yusuf also commissioned a new road project in Garin Yan Dadi and inspected some of the ongoing projects at the college of Education in Ghari local government.
He said previously the school was closed, but has now re-opened for the people of Ghari to benefit and get good education.
Also speaking, the caretaker chairman of Ghari local government Sagir Lawan, expressed gratitude on “how the Kano state government is executing developmental projects at the local government and Kano as a whole.”
