The Kaduna State Government, through the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, has officially flagged off the construction of the Kabala Doki Bus Stop–Ishakool Road, as part of efforts to improve urban infrastructure and ease movement within the state capital.
The project, which was inaugurated by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Sadiq Mamman Lagos, reflects the commitment of Governor Uba Sani to people-focused governance and the delivery of critical infrastructure across communities in Kaduna State.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, Hon. Lagos said the road would significantly improve access for residents of Kabala Ward and neighbouring communities, noting that the area has long suffered from poor road connectivity, especially during the rainy season.
According to him, the construction of the road would not only ease transportation challenges but also stimulate economic activities by improving access for traders, transporters and small business owners operating along the corridor.
“The Kabala Doki–Ishakool Road is very important to the people of this area. It will reduce travel time, lower transportation costs and open up economic opportunities for residents,” the commissioner said.
He added that Governor Uba Sani remains committed to putting smiles on the faces of Kaduna residents through the provision of infrastructure that directly impacts their daily lives, stressing that the present administration places the welfare of the people above politics.
Hon. Mamman Lagos assured the community that the project would be executed to standard and completed within the stipulated timeframe, urging residents to cooperate with contractors to ensure smooth execution.
The commissioner also used the occasion to call on residents of Kabala Ward and neighboring areas to revalidate their All Progressives Congress (APC) membership cards, while encouraging new members to register through the party’s ongoing e-registration exercise.
He said strengthening party structures at the grassroots was essential to sustaining good governance, adding that the achievements of the Uba Sani administration would be deepened through unity and active participation of party members.
Residents of the area welcomed the project, describing it as a timely intervention that would improve their quality of life and reaffirm the state government’s commitment to inclusive development.
