Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has
invited former Vice President Namadi Sambo,
pioneer national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande
and his successor John Odigie-Oyegun, to
commission various projects of the Urban
Renewal Programme of his administration tomorrow.
Also invited to the event are former governors
and the two serving ministers from Kaduna
State, Hajiya Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed and Dr
Mohammed Mahmood Abubakar.
A statement signed by the special adviser on
media and communication to the governor,
Muyiwa Adekeye, listed the projects to include
the Safe City Command and Control Centre and
the new Ungwan Rimi Market.
Adekeye also listed the Umaru Yar’Adua Road
which links the Millennium City to the Eastern
Bypass, the Isa Kaita Road and 10 other roads
as projects to be commissioned, recalling that
‘’President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned
the projects of the first phase of the urban
renewal programme in January 2021.’’
He said the choice of Sambo as one of the
dignitaries that will commission the projects,
was because he is the highest-ranking elected
official that Kaduna State has so far produced.
The statement said, Akande, Odigie-Oyegun,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Pastor Tunde Bakare and
former governor Ali Modu Sheriff would be
honoured for their sterling roles in the merger of
the parties that fused into the APC.
