The approvals were part of resolutions reached at the council’s 40th meeting chaired by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Government House, Kano, where projects and programmes worth ₦55.48 billion were approved.

A breakdown of the approvals shows that ₦3.18 billion was earmarked as compensation for owners of 361 properties affected by the Kano Northern Bypass Road Project.

The council also approved ₦2.94 billion for 1,113 property owners whose buildings fall within the alignment of the ongoing five-kilometre dualised road project in Gaya Local Government Area.

In another decision, ₦247.07 million was approved for individuals and filling station owners affected by the Kano–Dawakin Tofa–Gwarzo–Dayi road dualisation project.
