Kano, Sept. 29, 2016 (NAN) Alhaji Gambo Danpass, the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Kantin Kwari Market in Kano, has assured traders that nobody will lose his shop after the construction of access roads in the market.
He gave the assurance while addressing with newsmen in Kano on Thursday.
NAN reports that the state government has concluded arrangements to construct access roads within the market to ease human and vehicular movement, especially during emergency.
Some of the traders had recently protested against the state government’s plan for fear of losing their shops.
Dan-pass, who is a traditional title holder of Dansaran Kano, said providing access roads in the market was necessary in view of the way and manner some traders erected their shops in the market.
“The intention of the state government is to make the market a modern one and boost revenue generation.
“I also want to allay the fears of the traders that after the project, nobody will lose his shop, “ he said.
On the forthcoming election of the market officials, Danpass said the caretaker had inaugurated the electoral committee to conduct an election before the end of October.
In addition, he said the caretaker had inaugurated two sub committees for the review of the union’s constitution, while the other one had been mandated to investigate allegation of financial mismanagement by the former officials.
“The investigation committee has forwarded its findings to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for necessary action.
“All we are doing is aimed at sanitising the system to boost business activities in the state for economic growth and development of the state. (NAN).
