The Kano State Executive Council has approved compensation for more than 1,400 property owners affected by ongoing road construction and dualisation projects across the state.

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.

The council further approved ₦213.74 million as compensation for owners of farmlands and economic trees impacted by the rehabilitation of the Tamburawa Raw Water Intake Station in Kura Local Government Area.

The compensation packages, approved under the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning, are aimed at ensuring affected residents are adequately compensated while facilitating the timely execution of key infrastructure projects across the state.
