Kano Governor Approves Rebuilding of Collapsed ’Yanshana’ Bridge Following Protests

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the immediate reconstruction of the ‘Yanshana Bridge‘ in Kumbotso Local Government Area, which collapsed three days ago.

The governor made the announcement at the Government House following a peaceful protest by residents of ‘Yanshana’, who sought urgent intervention over the collapsed bridge that has severely disrupted movement and daily activities in the area.

Governor Yusuf assured the protesters that the State Executive Council would formally approve the commencement of reconstruction work at its upcoming meeting on Wednesday.

In addition to the bridge project, the governor also directed the completion of an abandoned secondary school in the community and instructed the Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government to allocate land for the establishment of a new community cemetery.

The measures are part of the government’s broader efforts to address critical infrastructure needs and improve living conditions in the area.
