Kano state government has reversed its decision to demolish the Jubilee roundabout in front of the government house, announcing plans to relocate the iconic design of the demolished roundabout to a more secure location at the Naibawa flyover on the outskirts of the city.
Many indigenes of the state have condemned the demolition of the roundabout after demolishing the historical jubilee designed by a female Kano young lady.
However, Abba Kabir Yusuf, the state governor, who met with the designer of the Golden Jubilee edifice, Kaltume Hana, at the new site for the structure’s erection, expressed the government’s commitment to infrastructure development.
According to Yusuf, the newly proposed location is suitable for the job and will not pose any difficulties after a thorough survey, and he assured citizens of future projects.
Comrade Hisham Habib, the governor’s spokesperson, revealed this in a statement made available to Kano pressmen on Monday.
Kaltume Gana, the designer, thanked the governor for preserving her one-of-a-kind work, which was deemed a masterpiece.
The structure, which resembled a traditional gate with a trumpet on top, was demolished after it was determined to be unsuitable for the location, and a better replacement will be installed.
Many critics of the state government, however, see Governor Yusuf’s decision to rebuild the demolished jubilee roundabout as a tactical move to quell the backlash directed at the state governor.
