The Kano State Government has revealed its plans to reconstruct the iconic roundabout design near the government house, which was previously demolished.
The government has decided to relocate the structure to a more secure location at the Naibawa Flyover on the outskirts of Kano City.
Governor Abba Yusuf, during a meeting with the designer of the Golden Jubilee edifice, Kaltume Hana, reaffirmed the government’s dedication to infrastructure development.
He assured citizens that the relocation had been carefully surveyed to ensure there would be no challenges posed by the new site.
He said, “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.”
Hana, the designer of the Golden Jubilee edifice, expressed her gratitude to Governor Yusuf and the Kano State government for preserving her unique work.
She said, “I am immensely grateful to Governor Yusuf and the Kano State government for recognising the value of my design. It is an honour to see my work being preserved and given a new home.”
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 providing a safer and more suitable environment for its appreciation.
“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,” a statement from Yusuf on Sunday night read.
