The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, on Friday, flagged off the construction of two flyovers worth over N 27 billion in the metropolis.
The flyovers, located at ‘Kofar Dan’agundi’ on the BUK road and ‘Tal’udu junction,’ are being financed by the state and local government joint accounts because that “has been a tradition in the state,” Mr Yusuf said in an apparent response to the controversy over the use of local government funds for the projects.
“It has been the tradition from my predecessors to finance such gigantic projects through the joint- account managed by the state and local governments,” the governor said at the ceremony, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature.
