Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin is calling on the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, to revoke the contract for the Kano–Gwarzo–Dayi road project. Both reports say the request is contained in a leaked letter reportedly signed by Barau and received by the Federal Ministry of Works on June 8, 2026. Barau alleges that the contractor, CGC Nigeria Limited, is delivering poor performance and that work has suffered persistent delays. The reports describe the project as upgrading about a 100-kilometre single carriageway to a dual carriageway, intended to improve transport and support the movement of agricultural produce from rural communities to markets in neighbouring states. They add that Barau says government funding has continued, with N19 billion allocated under the 2025 Appropriation Act and an additional N37 billion included in the 2026 budget, but that key milestones have not been met. Barau argues that the corridor is strategically important to the socio-economic development of Kano, Katsina and Kebbi states, and he urges an immediate assessment of the contractor’s performance, recommending contract revocation if the company cannot meet expected obligations.
