The Kano State Government has unveiled its intention to reconstruct the iconic roundabout that was previously demolished near the government house.
The government plans to relocate the structure to a more secure location at the Naibawa Flyover, situated on the outskirts of Kano City.
During a meeting with Kaltume Hana, the designer of the Golden Jubilee edifice, Governor Abba Yusuf expressed the government’s unwavering commitment to infrastructural development.
He reassured citizens that a meticulous survey of the new site had been conducted to ensure that the structure would not pose any challenges.
Governor Yusuf emphasized the administration’s dedication to improving the state’s infrastructure, stating, “This relocation is a testament to our commitment to preserving important cultural landmarks and promoting development in Kano State. We want to provide better projects for our citizens.”
Kaltume Hana, the creative mind behind the Golden Jubilee edifice, expressed her gratitude to Governor Yusuf for preserving her unique work. The structure, resembling a traditional gate with a trumpet atop, was deemed unsuitable for its previous location and subsequently demolished.
“I am immensely grateful to Governor Yusuf and the Kano State Government for recognizing the value of my design. It is an honor to witness my work being preserved and given a new home,” Kaltume Hana expressed with joy.
The decision to relocate the roundabout design was made after careful consideration of its aesthetic and cultural significance. The government aims to maintain the structure’s historical and artistic value while creating a safer and more appropriate environment for it to be appreciated.
Hisham Habib, the spokesperson for Governor Yusuf, confirmed the news in a press statement. He affirmed, “The Kano State Government is dedicated to fostering infrastructural development while preserving the rich cultural heritage of the region. The relocation of the roundabout design is a testament to this commitment.”
