Kebbi Governor launches road projects and security aid

Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has launched several initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and security within the state. To boost rural connectivity and economic growth, the governor flagged off the construction of 34.7 kilometers of road projects across the Birnin Kebbi and Argungu local government areas.
