Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has approved the construction of three major roads in Miga Local Government Area valued at over N30 billion, as part of efforts to enhance infrastructure and support agricultural productivity in the state.

Speaking on Sunday at the flag-off of the 30-kilometre Tsakuwa-Koya-Kafin Hausa road, Namadi said the project underscores his administration’s commitment to improving rural connectivity and delivering on campaign promises.

He noted that Miga is one of the state’s key agricultural zones, renowned for its Fadama and irrigation facilities that enable year-round farming. The governor stressed that improved road networks are essential for transporting farm produce and goods, which will in turn drive economic growth and development across Jigawa.

According to him, the Tsakuwa-Koya-Kafin Hausa road, awarded at a cost of N7 billion, is expected to be completed within 12 months.

“This project is one of three road projects our administration is executing in Miga Local Government. It reflects our resolve to deliver tangible development to our people,” Namadi said.

As part of his ‘Government-Citizens Engagement’ initiative, also known as Gwamnatin Da Jama’a, the governor commissioned a rural electrification project in Koya Village.

Earlier, Abdullahi Kainuwa, the State Commissioner for Health, highlighted key projects executed in Miga in the past two years, including the renovation of the Miga General Hospital, recruitment of new health workers, and the enrolment of over 7,000 vulnerable residents into the State Social Health Insurance Scheme.

Similarly, the government disclosed that more than N5 billion has been expended on renovating and constructing classrooms, providing furniture, and supplying learning materials for schools across the local government.
