Kano State Government has given some key reasons why it demolished the government house roundabout on Tuesday night.

According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Yusuf, Sanusi Tofa, the roundabout was destroyed because it was substandard.

The statement read, “Prior to the exercise, the government had consulted professional engineers in the relevant fields who ascertained the fact that the roundabout construction was substandard and may collapse between 2023 and 2024.

“The engineers said the roundabout was built with foam work and too many sandy materials instead of standard cement concrete.

“They also said the structure is too tall to be placed in front of the government house as it defaces its main gate which blocks the view for security surveillance.

“Additionally, it poses traffic challenges around the area because of its size, blocking the view of drivers accessing all routes linked through the roundabout.

“The government wishes to make it clear that it became essential to take down the structure for the purposes of immediate reconstruction and downsizing to ensure visibility of the government house entrance and safety of motorists.”
