Gaya, who said he was in the Presidential Villa to thank President Buhari for his recent visit to Kano State and also for allocating about N165 billion to the Abuja Kano road, said the current administration’s for works has increased steadily and contractors has returned to sites.
“We are also very happy that he has awarded the road projects from Kano to Abuja which will cost N165 billion, that is a plus. And also being that I am the chairman of works Committee, no government for the past 16 years has been able to put so much money on road project like this government.
