The Managing Director of the agency, Dr Abdullahi Baba-Ahmad, gave the commendation on Tuesday during the commissioning of the project, according to a statement issued by the agency’s media team in Abuja.
Baba-Ahmad described the project as a landmark achievement, noting that it features a 130-metre, nine-span bridge and would significantly improve rural–urban connectivity, stimulate economic activities and ease movement for residents along the corridor.
He said the completion of the road reflected the administration’s commitment to delivering development across the state, adding that more than 1,300 kilometres of roads had been completed under the current government.
According to him, the road project forms part of broader efforts to open up underserved communities and reduce travel time for farmers, traders and commuters.
Speaking at the event, Governor Sani said the road was designed to meet both economic and social needs, explaining that it connects Gadan Gayan, Gwaraji, Wusar and Kujama Junction, cutting across Igabi, Kajuru and Chikun Local Government Areas.
He said the road directly serves more than 76 rural and farming communities and provides an alternative route that reduces congestion around Kaduna metropolis while improving access to markets, healthcare, education and emergency services.
