Residents of Katsina State have urged Gov. Aminu Masari, to complete the on-ongoing underpass in the metropolis on schedule to boost development.
Alhaji Ibrahim Suleiman, one the residents who expressed interest on the road, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Katsina on Saturday that traffic movements would be enhanced on completion of the project.
NAN reports that Masari had awarded contract for the construction of the underpass about six months ago.
Suleiman said that the project would enhance free movement of vehicles in the town and also improve socio-economic development.
According to him, the underpass is the gateway for people coming into Katsina town and to other places.
“It is the access road for people going to places like Niger Republic, Mali, Benin Republic and Bourkina Faso.
” In view of the importance of this project, we appeal to the governor to speed up action and finish the work on time,” he said.
One of the residents, Hajiya Ladi Balarabe from Kofar Kwaya said the underpass would facilitate the transportation of goods and people as well beautify the town.
