Kaduna State government accelerates 140 road projects across Kaduna to boost connectivity and economic growth

The Kaduna State Government has announced that more than 140 road projects are currently underway across the state, part of a sweeping effort to improve infrastructure, ease travel, and stimulate economic activity.

This update was shared by Dr. Abdullahi Baba-Ahmed during a press briefing in Abuja.

According to Baba-Ahmed, approximately 60% of the ongoing projects have already been completed, highlighting the state’s commitment to delivering tangible infrastructure improvements under Governor Uba Sani’s administration.

Documentary Highlights Statewide Road Achievements

The announcement coincided with the unveiling of the agency’s second documentary, titled “Roads of Legacy: Governor Uba Sani Reconnects Kaduna.”

The film showcases both completed and ongoing road projects across the state, capturing the administration’s efforts to connect communities and boost economic opportunities.

Baba-Ahmed emphasized that the roads tell a story of progress: “Projects started, completed, and delivered under one administration, leaving behind a legacy of connectivity, growth, and visible development.”

The Kaduna Roads Agency (KADRA) had earlier released a maiden documentary in December 2025, highlighting about 700 kilometres of road projects completed across different communities.

The new documentary expands on this, illustrating the breadth of ongoing development.

Strategic Road Corridors Transform Communities

Under Governor Sani, major road corridors have been planned and executed to reconnect communities and enhance commerce.

From Zaria to Kaduna North and into Southern Kaduna, these roads aim to ease movement and foster local trade.

Key projects highlighted in the documentary include:

• Magajiya–Amaru–Unguwan Liman Road

• Audi–Kako Road

• Tudun Biri Road
